Migration isn’t copying data. It’s deciding which data deserves to come with you.
Odoo migration and upgrades
We move businesses to Odoo from spreadsheets, accounting software or older ERPs, and upgrade existing Odoo installations between versions. Every migration has a data-cleaning phase, a rehearsal and a planned cut-over date.

How do I migrate to Odoo?
Agree a cut-over date, clean and map master data (products, customers, suppliers, chart of accounts), decide which history to bring, rehearse the import in a test database, reconcile opening balances with your accountant, then switch over with both teams on hand for the first days.
What it covers
- From spreadsheets
- Products, stock and customers structured and imported.
- From accounting software
- Chart of accounts, open invoices and opening balances.
- From another ERP
- Mapped entity by entity with reconciliation reports.
- Odoo version upgrades
- Standard and custom modules migrated and tested.

Before you start
- History
- Full transaction history is rarely needed in the new system; open items and balances usually are.
- Timing
- Cut over at a period end to simplify accounting.
- Custom modules
- Upgrades take longer when older custom code must be rewritten.
Frequently asked questions
Can we keep running during migration?
Yes. The old system stays live until cut-over; the switch is planned for a quiet period.
Can you upgrade our old Odoo version?
Yes, after auditing custom modules and testing the upgraded database.
