How many of you have heard this in your Odoo consulting practice?
Honestly, I heard many times.
They are true.
I respect these emotions.
But when I dig deep down to what could be the cause of this —
I surprise.
Not always,
But most of the time.
I observe:
👉 Odoo is not being used to its full potential.
👉 Wasting time for doing things manually which could be automated.
👉 Many customization not required at all — could achieved with standard features of Odoo.
So many questions…
😵💫 Why the chaos?
💸 Why they don’t get what they paid for?
🛠️ What’s the solution?

First, I explain to them that not everybody on your team is required to know everything in Odoo.
— This drastically increases the focus of the user to do what matters for them in Odoo.
💡 𝐎𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥...
I advise organizing the group of people who are required to do similar things in Odoo.
— and providing them with hands-on practical sessions
— so they can feed the right data quickly and use Odoo’s automation as much as possible.
📊 𝐀𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥...
I suggest leadership coaching to help top management change their perception.
— by teaching them what kind of analyzed information they can see in Odoo
— to make strategic decisions and design strategies for long-term benefit.
🎯 Of course,
each of the case,
each of the Odoo assignments,
each Odoo implementation
are required to be handled in a unique way.
No standard rule.
It's all about:
🧩 Observing
📚 Learning
🧪 Applying
📈 Seeing the result
🔁 And improving for the better.
