Still running your business from spreadsheets, post-its, and prayer?
Chasing updates, lost hours, late invoices? That’s not how you sustainably scale a service business - you know so too. But sometimes, it feels like you've lost all control.
Running a service company sounds pretty straightforward, right?
Until you’re knee-deep in scattered spreadsheets, late timesheets, last-minute changes, and invoices that somehow never got sent that is. You're managing clients, projects, planning, people, and admin. Across a bunch of different tools - do they even talk to each other? Or are they disconnected - ultimately disconnecting you from what's really going on in your business.
Things slip through the cracks. Margins shrink. And what should feel like growth, progress.... ends up feeling like trying to solve whatever problem keeps popping up.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. The good news? It doesn’t have to stay this way.
That’s exactly where Odoo comes in.
Odoo brings your workflows, from sales and project planning to timesheets, invoicing, and reporting, into one smart system. Less chaos, more control, and a business that’s finally set up to scale - or at least, more manageable. No more duplicated effort. Just one clean platform where your team can track leads, convert them into projects, log time, send invoices, and get instant insight into your business performance.
How a typical service workflow comes to life inside Odoo
-
1. Prospecting (CRM Module)
It all starts with a lead. Whether from a website form, email inquiry, or cold outreach, Odoo CRM helps you track every opportunity, assign it to the right person, and follow up with automated tasks and timelines.
-
2. Proposal & Contracting (Quotation + Sign Modules)
Once the opportunity is warm, you send out a personalized offer. Quotes are easy to build, branded, and trackable. When the client’s ready to move forward, they can digitally sign the proposal right away.
-
3. Project Kickoff (Project Module)
As soon as the quote is accepted, a project is automatically created. You can plan phases, assign tasks, and create timelines - all visible to your team in one place. Need to manage multiple projects? Odoo handles that too.
-
4. Time Tracking (Timesheet Module)
As work progresses, your team logs hours directly into Odoo, instantly linked to the right project and task. No more Excel sheets or forgotten hours. You can view progress in real time and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
-
5. Invoicing (Invoicing Module)
Those logged hours can now be turned into invoices in just a few clicks. Choose between hourly billing, fixed milestones, or retainers. You can even schedule recurring invoices for long-term clients. Sending out an invoice has never been easier.
-
6. Accounting & Reporting (Accounting Module)
Every invoice syncs with your accounting in real time. Get an instant view of your cashflow or overdue payments, reconcile transactions, and generate reports, from P&L to project profitability.

Let's compare
-
Odoo vs. Teamleader
Teamleader might be your jam when you're a smaller service team with straightforward needs. It’s quick to set up and easy to use, but less flexible if you’re looking to scale, customize, or connect with other tools. You'll quickly hit its limits.
Odoo is ideal for service companies with complex workflows or growth ambitions. It offers deep customization, a wide range of integrated apps, and the ability to tailor the system as your business evolves. -
Odoo vs. Zoho
Zoho offers apps for CRM, project management, and accounting. It's user-friendly for smaller teams. But integrating these separate apps becomes complex as you scale, causing data silos and workflow inefficiency. Limited custom options.
Odoo is a unified platform for growing service companies. It integrates all essential workflows in one system, eliminating silos and streamlining operations. Odoo offers easy customization. -
Odoo vs. your current stack
A custom tech stack (think: HubSpot for CRM, Asana for projects, Harvest for time tracking) gives you best-in-class tools for each function, but also means syncing data manually, and dealing with disconnected workflows. It can quickly become chaotic as you grow.
Odoo gives you everything in one connected system, all working together out of the box. No messy integrations, no tool-switching, and no lost data between platforms. It just works.
