Analysis & Findings
Code Audit & Performance Review
The existing Odoo implementation was reviewed for code quality, security, and performance bottlenecks. Custom modules were analyzed to identify technical debt, redundant logic, and potential risks that could impact stability during migration.
High‑Volume Transaction Processing
With over 200K+ customers and invoices, the system needed to handle high transaction volumes efficiently. Performance testing revealed key areas where optimization was necessary, particularly in database queries, automated workflows, and server load balancing.
Third‑Party Integrations
The company relied on multiple third‑party software connections (e.g., payment gateways, logistics platforms, CRM tools). Each integration was assessed for compatibility with newer Odoo versions and potential failure points that could disrupt operations.
Operational Gaps & Workflow Efficiency
A deep dive into business processes uncovered inefficiencies in order processing, invoicing automation, and reporting workflows. Several manual processes were identified that could be automated to enhance accuracy and free up resources.
Risk Management for Migration
Migrating to a newer Odoo version while ensuring business continuity was a critical concern. The analysis outlined potential risks, including data loss, compatibility issues, and system downtime, with strategies to mitigate disruptions during the transition.
