As your business grows, your ERP system often becomes like your favorite shirt 👕—comfortable, familiar, maybe even lucky. You don’t want to let it go!

But here’s the thing: the shirt (or the ERP) you wear today will also be your go-to outfit for the coming years. With the unstoppable pace of change in tech (hello, AI! 🤖), only the systems truly built for the future can keep you on trend—and ahead.

Running Lean with ODOO: How We Keep Our Infra Budget in Check

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

🚀 Keeping your #ODOO4projects lean and agile doesn’t have to break the bank! From our own hosting journey, we’ve found some golden rules to making Odoo Community run fast (and frugal):

🔹 Slim is in: Only install the essential apps. Less bloat = more speed. 🔹 Optimize your database – a little tuning goes a LONG way for performance and resource use. 🔹 Don’t forget regular Docker pruning. Old images and unused containers can quietly eat up resources. 🔹 Cut network lag: Host your Odoo and its database on the same server to reduce traffic and latency. 🔹 Put your reverse proxy to good use! Caching static assets can save you loads of bandwidth. 🔹 Know when your automated actions run – insight means control over resource spikes. 🔹 For VPS users: Always offload those backups to a separate machine. Never risk your production setup!

ODOO Studio vs Python Modules

Tue, 13 May 2025 00:00:00 -0400

At #ODOO4projects, we’ve seen it time and again: mixing customization methods in Odoo can turn a good project into a real headache! 🚫🧩 Our firm rule? NEVER mix Studio with custom modules in the same implementation—doing so always leads to confusion and unsustainable systems.

Our go-to approach: we prefer custom modules whenever possible. Custom modules keep things clear—every customization is visible, structured, and easy to maintain. But we’re pragmatic and know there’s a time and place for each method.
