BuildOdoo · SAP advisory · ERP integration

ERP that ships in 90 days, not 18 months.

We deliver Odoo end to end and provide SAP advisory and integration for organisations whose business operations still rely on spreadsheets, or whose existing ERP is not connected to the systems around it. Phase 1 is fixed-scope and 90 days. Customisation comes after the core is proven stable, not before.

When this is needed

Three signals that this is the right next step.

01 / Spreadsheets run the show Business operations still rely on spreadsheets and unstructured communication as a substitute for an integrated management system.
02 / Islands of data entry An existing ERP is not connected to other platforms, and data is being re-entered manually across multiple points.
03 / Last project burned trust A previous ERP project exceeded budget and timeline, and the next attempt has to be different by design.
Delivery phasing

Discovery. Core in 90 days. Then integrate, then scale.

Illustrative phasing. Module scope, customisation depth, and integration points are tailored per organisation. The shape stays consistent: fixed-scope core first, customisation after.

RUNNING ACROSS ALL PHASES

Change management · user training · data migration · parallel-run validation

DiscoveryRequirements gathering, process mapping, and module scope decisions. The output is a fixed Phase 1 scope that the team can defend to finance and to the business.
Core in 90 daysFixed-scope Phase 1 delivers core modules , configuration, customisation against the agreed scope, user acceptance testing, and production go-live. No customisation creep.
IntegrationConnect ERP to e-commerce, warehouse management, banking, and AI layers through the integration approach that fits each system , API, file exchange, database sync, or middleware.
ScaleCustomisation and module expansion happen after the core has run stably in production. Scope expansion is grounded in real operational experience, not in pre-go-live assumptions.
Engineering principles

The ERP delivery model. Built to prevent drift.

We merge scope, implementation, integration, migration, and adoption into one delivery model so ERP becomes operational infrastructure instead of an open-ended programme.

01 / ScopeFixed Phase 1 before expansion

Core modules go live first in a 90-day, fixed-scope phase. Open-ended requirements and customisation creep stay outside the first release.

02 / ImplementOdoo and SAP are scoped differently

Odoo is delivered end to end through discovery, configuration, UAT, and go-live. SAP work focuses on advisory and integration into the landscape already in place.

03 / IntegrateEvery surrounding system gets a path

ERP connects to e-commerce, WMS, banking, and AI layers through the right mechanism per system: API, file exchange, database sync, or middleware.

04 / MigrateCutover follows evidence

Legacy data is migrated with validation and parallel-run periods. Production cutover happens after accuracy is proven, not because the calendar says so.

05 / AdoptTraining and operations are part of delivery

Change management, role-based training, AWS hosting, backups, and high-availability planning are scoped early so go-live is usable from day one.

Merged delivery model

Every ERP decision has to hold scope, adoption, and integration together.

The model keeps Phase 1 bounded, treats Odoo implementation and SAP advisory as different work, integrates with legacy systems where needed, and delays customisation until the core has proved stable in production.

Case studies & outcomes

Two ERP engagements. Both delivered.

01
FMCG distributor · more than 300 employees

Odoo across inventory, sales, and accounting in 4 months.

Context
An FMCG distributor with more than 300 employees needed an integrated ERP covering inventory, sales, and accounting , replacing a patchwork of spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
Before
Reconciliation across inventory, sales, and accounting required 3 working days each cycle of manual coordination.
What we delivered
End-to-end Odoo implementation covering the three core modules, delivered as a fixed-scope Phase 1 with user acceptance testing and structured change management.
Outcome
4 monthsInventory · sales · accounting live
Odoo implementation delivered in 4 months. Reconciliation that previously required 3 working days now runs automatically.
02
Manufacturing · under-utilised SAP landscape

SAP integrated with WMS and AI demand planning, inventory turnover up 22%.

Context
A manufacturing company operated an established SAP landscape that was under-utilised relative to its potential, with weak connections to warehouse and demand systems.
Before
SAP held the system of record but was disconnected from warehouse management and demand-planning processes, limiting the value the platform was producing.
What we delivered
SAP integration with warehouse management and AI-driven demand planning, layered on the existing SAP investment rather than replacing it.
Outcome
+22%Inventory turnover
Inventory turnover improved by 22%.
What we do

The services below define the scope of an Enterprise Applications engagement with ICS. Module selection and customisation depth are tailored per organisation.

Odoo end to end
Discovery, configuration, customisation, UAT, go-liveFixed-scope Phase 1 in 90 days
What this includesA complete Odoo implementation with the core modules live in 90 days, customisation deferred until the core is stable.
SAP advisory
SAP advisory and integrationFor existing SAP landscapes
What this includesAdvisory and integration work for organisations already on SAP , optimising the platform you have, not replacing it.
Cloud-hosted Odoo
Odoo on AWSManaged infra · automated backups · HA
What this includesA managed cloud-hosted Odoo platform with automated backups and high-availability configuration, sized to your scale.
ERP integration
Integration with surrounding systemsE-commerce · WMS · banking · AI
What this includesERP connected to the systems around it through the integration approach that fits each one , API, file, database, or middleware.
Data migration
Migration from legacy systemsValidation & parallel-run periods
What this includesLegacy data migrated with parallel-run validation, so cutover happens on verified accuracy rather than on calendar pressure.
After we hand off
After go-live, you can keep ICS engaged for Phase 2 customisation and module expansion, ongoing operations, or both , or your team can take ownership directly. ICS Managed Cloud & AI Operations is available for hosting and operations support. Customisation always happens after the core is proven stable, not before.

Talk to us

Start with an ERP discovery. Then commit to a fixed Phase 1.

If business operations still run on spreadsheets, or an existing ERP is disconnected from the systems around it, the next step is a structured discovery that produces a fixed Phase 1 scope and a 90-day delivery plan.

The discovery is yours to take to another partner if you choose. We would rather lose the engagement than win it without a defensible Phase 1 scope.

ERP discovery

What the discovery covers

  • Process mapping across the modules being considered
  • Fixed-scope Phase 1 module recommendation with a 90-day delivery plan
  • Integration scope for surrounding systems (e-commerce, WMS, banking, AI)
  • Data migration approach with parallel-run validation plan
  • Change management and training scope inside the engagement
