Running a service company is different. You’re not just juggling projects, you’re managing people, hours, client expectations, invoicing, reporting, and more. And if you use a plethora of tools, chaos is just around the corner.
That’s exactly what we unpacked in our recent webinar, hosted by Julien Verheughe, Solution Architect at dear digital. We dove into how Odoo can help service companies run smoother, smarter operations, all from a single platform. Here are the 3 biggest takeaways:
1. Odoo unifies your entire service flow: from lead to invoice
Most service businesses rely on a handful of disconnected tools: a CRM here, a project tool there, Excel sheets everywhere. That might work for a while - until you outgrow it.
Odoo simplifies that mess. From CRM and Sales to Projects, Timesheets, and Invoicing, everything lives in one place. That means:
- No more double data entry
- A single source of truth
- Less admin, more billable time
In the demo, we walked through a real flow:
Lead → Quote → Signed Order → Project Creation → Timesheet Logging → Invoicing → Reporting
All handled within Odoo, with full traceability and automation.
2. You get real-time insights into your business performance
If you’re still building reports in Excel, you know the drill: export data, clean it up, cross-reference, hope it's accurate. That kind of reporting is always outdated by the time it’s done.
With Odoo, all your data is in one system. You get dashboards that update in real time. From revenue to billability, team performance, realization rate, and more: you always know where you stand.
Better data equals better decisions.
3. It’s flexible enough for all kinds of service businesses
Whether you’re a marketing agency, consultancy, IT firm or recruitment company, Odoo has the building blocks to match your processes:
- Different invoicing models: fixed price, milestones, or based on timesheets
- Contract signing and document management
- Internal tools like time off, expense tracking, and helpdesk
- Customer portals for full transparency
And because it’s modular, you can start small and scale. Meaning adding what you need, when you need it.
