Why should Odoo upgrades no longer be considered optional?

โฎ• Strategic decision to run your business with the latest features.

โฎ• To save an additional 25% cost of being on the older version.


๐ŸŽฏ Why Odoo Upgrade Matters NOW

โžค New features ๐Ÿค–

โžค Faster performance โšก

โžค Security enhancements ๐Ÿ”’

โžค Bug fixes ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

โžค Compliance updates ๐Ÿ“œ

โžค Save money ๐Ÿ’ธ


Still running on Odoo 14 or 15?

You're not just missing new features โ€”

๐Ÿ‘‰ You will be paying 25% additional charges on your Odoo Enterprise licence.


Iโ€™ve seen cases where a 5-minute task in v18 takes 40 minutes in v13.

Imagine the time wasted, the data inconsistencies, the manual errors, and now more fees of being on an older version.


๐Ÿ˜ฑ What Happens If You Donโ€™t Upgrade

โ†ณ Slower processes = slower business

โ†ณLimited support from Odoo SA

โ†ณLosing edge against competitors using new automation tools

โ†ณHave to pay more for your Odoo Enterprise licence


๐Ÿ’ก Why Businesses Delay (And Regret It Later)

"Iโ€™ll upgrade next yearโ€ฆ"

"I donโ€™t have the time nowโ€ฆ"

"Itโ€™s working fine for now..."

These are the famous last words before chaos hits.


Upgrades take time.

Testing takes time.

Your business wonโ€™t stop,

But with the cost, it keeps increasing!

Are you ready to upgrade your older version to the latest version of Odoo? - Contact your Odoo partner NOW!

๐Ÿ“… Odoo 19 is scheduled for release this September.

Smart businesses are preparing today, not โ€œsomeday.โ€

If your Odoo partner hasnโ€™t already talked to you about this...

Contact them to discuss planning your Odoo version upgrade.


It's good to see that all legacy customers have time until April 2026 to upgrade their Odoo version to avoid extra fees for being on an older version of Odoo.

However, based on my experience, I advise taking action early will help to complete the upgrade to a newer version calmly.ย I agree that nobody want to be stuck in the older version of Odoo but the budget is something that could hold back the decision of version upgrade.

We have seen these challenges in Odoo ecosystems and have taken the necessary steps to respect our clients' preferences. The important thing NOW is to keep in mind to balance the cost of upgrading Odoo against the 25% premium required to stay on an older version
