Before you sign the Odoo contract: you are not buying a system, you are redesigning your company
Gartner says more than 70 percent of newly started ERP projects will miss their original goals by 2027. Projects rarely collapse at once; they erode through dozens of small decisions that looked harmless, a shortened analysis, a customisation nobody questioned, an old process copied as-is, a go-live blessed because the demo looked good. Choosing an Odoo partner is not a purchase settled on price. Partner tier opens the door but does not answer the real question: does this team understand how your company actually makes its money, and will it build the system around that reality? The first conversation should be about your business, not about modules, and every line of custom code is a long-term cost.
