Some of the most common mistakes include underestimating customization complexity, skipping change management, poor data hygiene, and lack of stakeholder involvement. The best way to avoid them is by following a proven Odoo ERP deployment guide and partnering with experts who understand both tech and business flows.
Start with a clear goal, involve cross-functional stakeholders early, keep your rollout strategy phased, and ensure continuous feedback loops. Equally important: choose an Odoo partner who understands your business and can translate your needs into a scalable, integrated solution.
Depending on complexity, a full Odoo implementation can take anywhere from a few weeks (for simple use cases) to several months (for multinational, omnichannel businesses). Timelines also vary based on the number of modules, data volume, integrations, and user training needs.
Your project planning phase should define clear objectives, prioritize modules, align stakeholders, and document current workflows. It should also include a phased Odoo rollout strategy, a realistic timeline, and defined success metrics to measure post-go-live performance.
