From Older Odoo Versions to Odoo 19: A Successful ERP Upgrade

Our customer is a leading accounting consulting firm that delivers specialized services to their clients across the world. Their team of certified accountants manages complex financial operations across multiple industries and offers flexible billing options, including hourly and subscription-based services.

Project Brief

The client was using an old version of Odoo that made it difficult to manage global client accounts and budgets. We upgraded their system to Odoo 19, giving them modern tools for budgeting, planning, and real-time profitability tracking.

As a result, accountants can manage services more accurately, and their clients can easily see their budget and profitability in real time. The upgrade was completed with secure data migration, required customizations, and a smooth transition to the new Odoo 19 system.
