Odoo Setup & Installation

Odoo Setup & Installation, Done Right the First Time

We install, host and configure Odoo with your company settings, users, apps and opening data — so your team starts on a clean, secure system instead of a trial database.

For growing businesses starting with standard Odoo, teams moving off a trial database, and companies that need Odoo installed on their own servers.

Common Setup Mistakes

Get the Foundation Right From Day One

Setup decisions are hard to undo once transactions start. These are the ones we get right before go-live.

Unclear hosting choice

Odoo Online, Odoo.sh and self-hosting each limit what you can do later.

We set up: A hosting recommendation based on your customization and IT needs.

A trial database used for real work

Test data, wrong settings and no backup plan.

We set up: A clean production database with backups from day one.

Weak accounting foundations

Chart of accounts, taxes and fiscal settings set up wrongly are costly to fix later.

We set up: Localization, taxes and fiscal settings configured before transactions.

Everyone is an administrator

Too many users with full rights create errors and security risk.

We set up: Roles and access rights matched to each job.

Emails that fail or land in spam

Quotes and invoices sent from Odoo never reach customers.

We set up: Mail servers and domain records configured and tested.

Starting from an empty system

No customers, products or balances to work with.

We set up: Opening data imported from your spreadsheets.
The Basics

What Does Odoo Setup Include?

Odoo setup is installing Odoo and preparing it for daily use: choosing the hosting, creating the production database, configuring company, accounting and tax settings, setting up the core apps, creating users and access rights, and importing opening data.

Setup is the fastest way to get standard Odoo running. If your processes need analysis, customization or integrations, a full Odoo implementation is the better fit.

FAQ

Odoo Setup & Installation FAQs

Common questions before setting up Odoo.

What is included in Odoo setup?

Hosting and installation, company and accounting settings, core app configuration, users and access rights, email setup, opening data import and a handover session.

What is the difference between Odoo setup and Odoo implementation?

Setup gets standard Odoo installed and configured quickly. Implementation adds process analysis, customization, integrations, data migration and structured training for more complex businesses.

Should we choose Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or our own server?

Odoo Online suits standard processes. Odoo.sh suits businesses that plan custom modules. Your own server gives full control and suits strict IT policies. We recommend one after the kick-off call.

Can you install Odoo on our own server?

Yes. We install Odoo Community or Enterprise on Linux or with Docker, with a reverse proxy, SSL and scheduled backups.

Can you turn our trial database into production?

We usually recommend a clean production database, then importing the useful data from the trial, so test entries and wrong settings don’t carry over.

Do you configure accounting and taxes for our country?

Yes. We install the right localization and configure taxes, fiscal year and currencies, and we recommend confirming them with your accountant.

Can you import our customers, products and opening balances?

Yes. We prepare import templates and load your master data and opening balances.

Do you set up email and our domain?

Yes. We configure outgoing and incoming mail and the domain records needed for reliable delivery.

Do we need Odoo Enterprise licences?

Only for Enterprise features, which require a subscription from Odoo. Odoo Community has no licence fee. We help you choose the right edition.

Do you provide training after setup?

Setup includes a handover session. For wider teams see our Odoo training.

How much does Odoo setup cost?

It depends on hosting, apps, companies, users and data import. Request a setup estimate.
