Odoo implementation: your first area productive in 6 to 8 weeks
As an Odoo Ready Partner we implement Odoo: readiness check at a fixed price, a data migration you can check line by line, go-live area by area instead of a big bang. A full project across all areas takes four to nine months.

Odoo Ready Partner – and practitioners ourselves
We are an official member of the Odoo partner network and work on the current Odoo version. Just as important: we run our own company on Odoo – CRM, projects, invoicing, time tracking. Every recommendation we make, we have already lived with ourselves.
When an ERP implementation is due
Rarely because somebody wanted new software. Usually because the old setup has quietly stopped carrying the company. These are the triggers we see most often:
- Excel has become a system. Prices, stock, planning – each in its own file, each with its own owner, none of them connected.
- Lexware or a comparable package is at its limit. It still does accounting, but not the business around it.
- An SAP R/3 without maintenance. It runs, but nobody dares to touch it and nobody supports it any more.
- The company has grown past its system. What worked with 20 people breaks at 60.
- The same data is entered twice. Once in the merchandise management system, once in accounting – and the two never quite agree.
If you recognise two or more of these, the question is no longer whether, but in which order.
How your Odoo implementation runs
Five stages. Each one ends with a result you can look at and decide on – not with a status report. From the go-ahead to the first productive area it is six to eight weeks; a full project across all areas four to nine months.
2 weeks · fixed price
ERP readiness check
Process capture, module selection, and a dependable frame for effort and cost. You get a written assessment and a recommendation. If Odoo is not the right fit, you hear that from us too.
2 to 4 weeks
Process design
We map your workflows onto the Odoo standard – and decide deliberately against custom development wherever the standard carries. Every deviation is written down, including the reason.
2 to 6 weeks · runs in parallel
Data migration with integrity
Master data, open items, history. Always a test run before the real one, and a reconciliation you can check. Cleaning up happens before the import, not after.
1 to 2 weeks per area
Go-live in stages
No cut-over date on which everything has to work at once. We go live area by area, so an error stays an error and does not become a standstill.
Ongoing
Operation, support and further development
Agreed response times, a plan for the yearly Odoo release, and a system that stays upgradeable. What comes next – mobile apps, AI in day-to-day business – builds on the same foundation.
What Odoo looks like in daily work
No grey input masks. Odoo shows processes as tiles you can move: every card is an order, a lead, a production step. Your team sees the status of an area at a glance instead of reading it out of a list.
What the implementation costs
Two things are often mixed up here: the licence and the implementation. They are two different cost blocks.
One-off: the implementation
A project with an end date: process design, configuration, data migration, training, go-live. You pay for it once.
Running: licence and support
The licence is a fixed amount per user per month and includes all standard Odoo apps – you do not buy modules individually. Support and further development only if you want them.
We name both separately in every offer, so you can see what is a one-time cost and what you carry every year.
Entry
from 14,900 €
Basic processes
The core chain in the Odoo standard: quotation, order, inventory, invoice. Typical for e-commerce operations and smaller production. Includes readiness check, process design, configuration, migration of master data and open items, training and a staged go-live.
Usual scope
39,000 to 49,000 €
Several areas connected
Where most mid-sized projects land. Several departments in one system, interfaces to what stays, deeper production or warehouse logic, DATEV connection, more data history and more training. Still standard before code.
Full scope
individual calculation
Group structures
Several companies or countries in one database, multi-site production, extensive custom development or a complex legacy landscape. Possible without limits – but only calculable after the readiness check.
All figures are net, plus VAT, and cover the implementation project. The Odoo licence is billed separately – see below.
Spreading the cost: software leasing
An implementation does not have to hit your balance sheet in one go. Together with leasing partners we spread project costs over a term of four to six years. You then pay a monthly amount instead of a one-off sum – which usually matches the period over which the system pays off. We arrange that on request during the offer stage.
What the Odoo licence costs
The licence is separate from the implementation and is billed per user per month. List prices from odoo.com for annual payment, as at 24 September 2026:
And often it works without any licence at all
Odoo also exists as a Community Edition: open source, free of licence fees. For many mid-sized setups that is genuinely enough – you then pay only for implementation and hosting. Whether it carries your case depends on which apps you need; some, such as Studio, accounting automation or the mobile apps, only exist in Enterprise. We settle that question in the readiness check rather than selling you a licence you do not need.

Statement from the owner
"We only go live when your team can actually work with the system – not when the project plan says so. That costs us a week now and then. It saves you the six months that a failed go-live costs."

Migration from your legacy system
SAP R/3, Lexware, Sage, Excel – we have moved all of them. The rule is simple: what you still need comes along – checkable, not on trust.
What comes along
- Master data: customers, suppliers, articles, prices
- Open items: orders, invoices, stock levels
- As much history as is genuinely useful in day-to-day work
What stays behind
- Records nobody opens any more – into a readable archive, not into the bin
- Duplicates and dead master data, cleaned up before the move
- Workarounds from the legacy system that Odoo covers as standard
Every migration runs at least once as a test before it runs for real. You check the result against your old system before we switch anything over.
Why PixelMechanics for your Odoo implementation
Odoo Ready Partner
Official member of the Odoo partner network, working on the current Odoo version – not on a release we froze three years ago.
We build on Odoo ourselves
Circuflow and ProcessFlow are our own products on an Odoo foundation. That is the difference between a partner who resells and one who lives in the system every day.
Owner-managed since 2008
In Nuremberg, with the same people in the projects who sold them. No handover to a team you have never met.
Built for the DACH region
SKR03 and SKR04, DATEV export, GoBD-compliant bookkeeping. Your tax advisor keeps working the way they are used to.
You choose the operating model
Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premise in your own data centre. In every case GDPR-compliant and hosted in the EU.
No dead ends
Standard before code, documented handover, your data exportable at any time. If you ever want to continue without us, you can.

Frequently asked questions about the Odoo implementation
How long does an Odoo implementation take?
Six to eight weeks until the first area is productive, for a standard scope with CRM, sales and purchasing. Four to nine months for a full project when manufacturing, multi-company or interfaces to other systems are involved. What stretches a project is almost never the software, it is unresolved decisions.
What does an Odoo implementation cost?
Licence and implementation are two separate items. The licence is a fixed amount per user per month and covers all standard apps. The implementation is a one-off project whose size depends on scope and data quality. The readiness check has a fixed price and gives you a dependable estimate before you commit to anything.
Can you migrate our data from SAP, Lexware or Excel?
Yes. Master data, open items and history as far as it is useful. Every migration runs as a test first, and you check the result against your old system before we switch anything over.
How much custom development makes sense?
As little as possible. Every deviation from the standard has to be justified and gets written down with its reason. The test we apply to a special case: is this a competitive advantage or an old habit? Only the first kind gets built.
Odoo or SAP Business One or Business Central?
Odoo usually plays to its strengths where breadth matters more than depth in a single discipline: one system for sales, purchasing, inventory, projects and accounting, with a licence that does not charge per module. Where a highly specialised industry standard already fits, we will say so. That is part of the readiness check.
What happens after the go-live?
We stay close in the first weeks and fix what real operation brings to light. Afterwards you decide: continue on your own with documented handover, or with an agreed support model including response times.
How do Odoo upgrades work?
Odoo publishes a new major version every year. We build so that you can follow along: standard before code, every deviation tested against the next version. Upgrades are planned, not improvised – that is the difference between a system you keep current and one you freeze.
Do we have to move everything at once?
No. We go live module by module instead of on a single cut-over date. That keeps every problem small and lets your team get used to the system in steps rather than overnight.
Where is our data stored?
Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premise in your own data centre – you choose. In every case the hosting is in the EU and GDPR-compliant, and your data stays exportable at any time.
Who from our team has to be available?
One person who can decide, and per affected area someone who really knows the daily work. Roughly one day a week during the capture phase, more around go-live. Projects fail more often from missing availability than from missing budget.
