Custom Odoo Development

When out-of-the-box genuinely doesn't fit, we build what you need.

You need something built. We do that. But before we write a line of code, we make sure custom development is actually the answer. If there's a native feature that solves your problem, we'll tell you.

Philosophy

Why we talk you out of custom development

This might seem like a strange way to sell development services. But here's the thing: most Odoo customisation shouldn't exist.

We've audited implementations where 40% of the custom code duplicated features that were already in the standard product. Custom code has real costs:

  • Maintenance burden: Someone has to ensure it works forever.
  • Upgrade risk: Heavy customisation can block specific version upgrades.
  • Knowledge dependency: You become reliant on the original developer.

Our commitment: We only build when building is genuinely the right answer.

Capabilities

What we build (when necessary)

Custom Modules

Full modules that add functionality Odoo doesn't have. Industry-specific compliance, complex engines, or proprietary logic.

Module Extensions

Adding fields or modifying behaviors of standard modules without breaking them. Built to survive upgrades.

Integrations

Connecting Odoo to external systems. E-commerce, payment gateways, shipping providers, or legacy ERPs.

Workflow Automation

Scheduled jobs and business rules to reduce manual work. Automated document generation or data processing.

Data Tools

Migration scripts, import/export utilities, and advanced reporting tools to get data in and out.

Differentiation

How we're different

We challenge requirements

We don't just build what you ask for. We ask "why" and "is there a simpler way?" We push back on things that don't make sense.

We design for upgrades

We build with the assumption that you will upgrade. We use inheritance properly and avoid core modifications.

We document everything

Your code isn't a black box. We provide comprehensive documentation so any competent developer can take over.

Honest complexity

If it's hard, we tell you. If we don't think it's worth the cost, we tell you that too.

Process

How we deliver

Step 1

Requirements & Validation

We ensure custom dev is the right path before quoting. We check for native alternatives first.

Step 2

Spec & Quote

You get a detailed technical specification and a fixed-fee quote. No surprises.

Step 3

Development

We build the solution, ensuring consistent quality and documentation.

Step 4

Testing & Deploy

We test on staging, you verify, then we deploy to production with full documentation.

Pricing

Transparent Costs

Fixed-Fee Quotes

For defined scope, you know the exact cost upfront. If scope changes, we re-quote the difference.

Time & Materials

For exploratory or uncertain projects. We provide regular updates on hours used.

What's Not Included

Hosting, Odoo licensing, third-party apps, and ongoing support (unless agreed) are separate.

Case Study

Development Done Right

Caribbean Distribution Co.

The Request

Client wanted "complex pricing rules" custom module. Previous partner quoted 200+ hours.

What We Found

80% of the requirement was standard Odoo pricelist configuration. The partner missed it.

The Outcome

We built a small 20-hour extension for the missing 20%. The client saved 180+ hours of cost and got a cleaner system.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does custom development cost?

Depends on scope. Small fields: few hours. Complex integrations: weeks. We provide fixed quotes.

Will it break when we upgrade?

We design for upgrades using inheritance and documenting dependencies. It's safer than typical dev work.

Do you work with our existing partner?

Yes. We often handle specific tricky modules while your main partner handles the rest.

Do you build apps for the Odoo Store?

No. We focus on client-specific solutions. We solve your specific business problems.

Need something built?

Maybe. Let's find out together. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether custom dev is the right path.
