Odoo rescue for implementations that went wrong

A failing Odoo project usually looks the same from the inside: go-live keeps slipping, users keep spreadsheets on the side, month-end takes longer than before, and the previous partner has stopped answering or keeps sending change requests.

Overview

The short version

We start with an independent audit, tell you plainly what is wrong and what it will take to fix, and then stabilise the system before adding anything new.

ERP Builders is an independent Odoo services company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Odoo S.A. “Odoo” is a trademark of Odoo S.A.

01

Common causes we find

Most rescues trace back to a handful of root causes.

Over-customisation

Standard processes rewritten in custom code, making every fix and upgrade expensive.

Bad migrated data

Opening balances that never reconciled, duplicate products and customers, broken stock valuation.

Processes never designed

Odoo configured from a module list rather than how the business actually works.

Abandoned code

Custom modules with no documentation, no tests and no repository access.

02

How a rescue works

First, we stop the bleeding: fix the issues blocking daily work and month-end. Then we repair data, remove or rewrite risky customisations, and only then finish the scope that was never delivered.

Sometimes the honest answer is a clean re-implementation on a current version with a proper data migration. The audit tells you which route is cheaper over three years.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you take over from another Odoo partner?

Yes. We need database access and, ideally, the source code of custom modules. If the code is missing, we can often rebuild it from the installed modules.

Should we fix or start again?

It depends on data quality and how much custom code exists. The audit compares both routes on cost and risk.

How long does an audit take?

Typically one to two weeks, depending on database size and the amount of custom code.
