Best Practices for Scaling Business Operations with Odoo ERP

[Vihan Richard]

Hello everyone,

I’ve seen many businesses adopt Odoo ERP but struggle to unlock its full potential beyond the basics. Since ERP is the backbone of operations, I thought it would be good to start a discussion on how to get the most out of Odoo ERP services and Odoo ERP development.

Some key areas I’d like input on:

Customization vs. Standard Modules: When should you go for custom Odoo ERP development instead of using ready modules?

Integration: How well does Odoo connect with CRM, eCommerce, or third-party tools like payment gateways and logistics?

Scalability: For growing companies, what are the best practices to ensure Odoo scales without hitting performance issues?

Support & Maintenance: How often should businesses invest in upgrades and what’s the role of professional Odoo partners here?

If you’ve implemented Odoo in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, or services, your insights could really help other ERP users.

Looking forward to hearing experiences, challenges, and practical tips from the community.
