DATA MIGRATION

MovingtoOdooshouldn'tmeanlosingorcorruptingyourdata

Whether you're coming from spreadsheets, another system, or an older Odoo version, migration is where most implementation risk actually lives. We treat it as its own disciplined process: assess, cleanse, map, import in stages, and validate, not a single risky cutover weekend.

Common Scenarios

Wherever your data lives today

Spreadsheets to Odoo

Customer records, product catalogs, and open transactions cleaned, mapped, and imported through Odoo's structured import wizard.

Another system to Odoo

Migrating from another accounting or ERP platform, typically opening balances and open transactions rather than full historical detail.

Odoo version upgrades

Moving from an older Odoo version to a current one, including a review of existing customizations before the upgrade runs.

Multi-entity consolidation

Bringing data from separate systems or spreadsheets across multiple entities into one properly structured multi-company setup.

The Process

A disciplined migration, not a risky cutover weekend

01

Assess

We review your current data sources, formats, and quality issues before committing to a migration approach.

02

Cleanse & Map

Data is cleaned and mapped to Odoo's structure. This is usually where most of the real work happens, not the import itself.

03

Staged Import

Data moves in stages with validation at each step, not a single unverified bulk import.

04

Validate & Cut Over

You review the migrated data against source records before we cut over, with a defined rollback plan if something doesn't reconcile.

FAQ

Common questions

It depends on what you need and what the source system makes practical. Most migrations bring across opening balances and open/active records (open invoices, active contracts, current inventory) rather than years of closed historical transactions, since that history is rarely needed inside the new system and can usually stay accessible in the old one for reference.
This is normal, not a red flag. Most source systems structure data differently than Odoo does. We handle the mapping and flag anything that needs a business decision (like how to categorize a legacy product code) rather than guessing silently.
We review existing customizations first to see which ones carry forward cleanly and which need rework for the new version. This assessment happens before the upgrade project is scoped, so you know the real effort involved upfront.
We aim to keep operational downtime minimal by validating data in a staging environment before cutover, and by scheduling the actual cutover during a low-activity window. The specifics depend on your data volume and how many systems are involved.
