On-Premise Setup
Your Odoo instance lives on your own servers—fully under your control, behind your firewall. Ideal for data-sensitive industries and businesses with existing infrastructure.

- No server administration needed
- Scale resources on demand
- Mobile-ready from day one
Our Odoo ERP Implementation Services
Business Analysis & Discovery
We map your current workflows, identify pain points, and design a tailored Odoo configuration before a single setting is touched—preventing costly rework.On-Premise Server Setup
Complete Linux server provisioning, OS hardening, PostgreSQL tuning, Nginx configuration, SSL setup, and firewall rules—production-ready from day one.
Module Configuration & Customisation
We configure Odoo’s 50+ native apps to match your workflows, and develop custom modules when standard functionality doesn’t quite fit.
Data Migration
Clean, accurate migration from your existing system—whether QuickBooks, SAP, Dynamics, or spreadsheets—with full validation before and after go-live.
User Training
Role-based training programmes for admins, department leads, and end users. Custom documentation so your team is confident from day one.
Ongoing Support & Maintenance
SLA-backed post-go-live support, security patch management, performance monitoring, and version upgrades—so your Odoo stays healthy long-term.
A production-grade on-premise Odoo environment requires careful architecture. Here’s exactly what we configure and why.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS setup with SSH key authentication, fail2ban, UFW firewall rules, and unattended security updates. - Odoo Installation & Worker Configuration
- Odoo Community or Enterprise installed via source, with multi-worker configuration sized to your concurrent user load.
- PostgreSQL Performance Tuning Database optimised for your server’s RAM and workload—shared buffers, WAL configuration, vacuum settings, and connection pooling via PgBouncer.
- Nginx Reverse Proxy & SSL: HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt or your own certificate, HTTP/2 enabled, gzip compression, and long-poll for real-time Odoo features.

The African ERP Partner Built for African Business
Local Expertise, Continental Reach
We understand African regulatory environments, local tax structures, and the real-world infrastructure constraints businesses face across the continent.
On-Premise & Private Cloud Specialists
Most ERP partners push cloud-only. We’re equally comfortable with on-premise deployments—from server architecture to security hardening.
Fixed-Scope Options Available
No surprise invoices. For well-defined implementations, we offer fixed-scope pricing so you know what you’re paying before we begin.
Full Documentation Handover
Every configuration decision is documented. Your team is never left dependent on us to understand how your own system works.
Support That Responds
SLA-backed response times with a dedicated account manager. We treat your post-go-live environment with the same care as the implementation itself.
Odoo Community & Enterprise
We implement both editions and give you honest guidance on which is right for your business—rather than defaulting to the costly options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an ERP implementation take?
Timelines depend on company size and complexity. A focused small-business implementation can take 6–8 weeks. Mid-market projects typically run 3–6 months. Large multi-entity deployments can take 6–12+ months. We provide a detailed timeline during the discovery phase.
Can Odoo Integrate with Our Existing Systems
Yes. Odoo has a robust REST API and supports integrations with hundreds of tools—Shopify, WooCommerce, payment gateways (M-Pesa, Stripe, PayPal), shipping providers, banking feeds, and more. Custom integrations with legacy systems are available.
Do you support Odoo Community or only Odoo Enterprise?
We implement both Odoo Community (free, open-source) and Odoo Enterprise (paid, with additional modules and official support). We give you an honest assessment of which edition fits your needs and budget—there’s no pressure to choose the more expensive option.
Who manages the server after go-live on an on-premise deployment?
You can choose. If your team has the capacity, we provide full documentation and training so they can manage it. If not, we offer managed support contracts that cover security patching, updates, backups, and performance monitoring on your behalf.
Can you migrate our data from our current system?
Yes. We handle data migration from QuickBooks, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, Tally, spreadsheets, and other ERP systems. Our process includes data auditing, mapping, test migration, validation, and a final production migration with minimal downtime.
