</p>
|
||
<p>At <a href="https://ODOO4projects.com">ODOO4projects</a>, we specialize in helping businesses succeed with open-source ERP. But we also run our own services on the very same platform — and that’s why we chose to build our <strong>entire cloud ERP hosting infrastructure using Odoo Community V17</strong>.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="why-odoo-community">Why Odoo Community?</h2>
|
||
<p>We wanted to test how far Odoo Community could go — and it hasn’t let us down.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>100% open-source, no license fees</li>
|
||
<li>Highly customizable for specific use cases</li>
|
||
<li>Strong international community support</li>
|
||
<li>Clear upgrade path and modular design</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Our objective was not just to use Odoo, but to <strong>push the limits of what’s possible with Community Edition</strong>.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="custom-modules-our-key-to-success">Custom Modules: Our Key to Success</h2>
|
||
<p>The turning point in our journey was developing a <strong>custom module</strong> tailored specifically for our hosting service. Built by our own team, this module now handles:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Client onboarding and subscription tracking</li>
|
||
<li>Hosting management across multiple instances</li>
|
||
<li>Automated provisioning and monitoring</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>By owning this core functionality, we gained full control over our infrastructure — and reduced dependency on external tools.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="what-didnt-work">What Didn’t Work?</h2>
|
||
<p>Not every experiment succeeded. We purchased a third-party module for affiliate management and accounting — and it was a complete waste of time and money. Poor documentation, limited support, and compatibility issues made it unusable.</p>
|
||
<p>That experience taught us the value of <strong>developing in-house or vetting thoroughly</strong> before integrating third-party solutions.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="looking-ahead-odoo-19-and-beyond">Looking Ahead: Odoo 19 and Beyond</h2>
|
||
<p>As we plan our upgrade to <strong>Odoo 19</strong>, we’re going with a <strong>“nuke and pave”</strong> strategy — clearing out legacy modules that no longer serve their purpose. This clean-slate approach will allow us to optimize performance and simplify support.</p>
|
||
<p>Despite the bumps along the road, Odoo Community continues to meet <strong>all of our business needs</strong>, from CRM and sales to hosting and internal workflows.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="our-message-to-others">Our Message to Others</h2>
|
||
<p>If you’re in IT or SaaS and looking for a flexible, powerful ERP platform — <strong>don’t underestimate Odoo Community</strong>. With the right team and vision, you can build enterprise-grade services without the overhead of enterprise licenses.</p>
