Migrate from Odoo
Move from Odoo to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off Odoo should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your ERP / business suite data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while Odoo keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
Odoo’s open-source core and app ecosystem made it the default ERP for many small teams, and Community edition is genuinely free to start. The friction that drives migrations is usually operational: apps that each cover 80% of a job, major-version upgrades, and the widening gap between Community and Enterprise. The good news: Odoo’s data is unusually accessible for an ERP, which makes leaving it more tractable than most.
The safe way to leave Odoo
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of Odoo that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull customers, products, open orders, history, invoices and ledgers out of Odoo in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your ERP / business suite data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line Odoo up against PeakSpitz: customers, products, open orders, history, invoices and ledgers become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside Odoo is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what Odoo shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep Odoo live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your Odoo export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving Odoo
- ⚠
Every Odoo install is different — the module list IS the migration scope. Export the list of installed apps and customizations before planning anything.
- ⚠
Studio customizations and custom modules do not transfer as code. They get re-expressed as configuration or as integrations over the open REST API.
- ⚠
Version matters: exports and models differ meaningfully across major versions. That is exactly why this guide commits to the safe process, not screenshots of one version’s menus.
- ⚠
Multi-company setups need per-company exports and a decision about what lands where.
Common questions about leaving Odoo
We are on Community edition — is our data harder to get out?
Easier, if anything. Community gives you full database access, so every record you own is exportable. Hosted Enterprise (Odoo Online) is export-tooling based, which also works — it is just more structured.
What replaces the Odoo app store?
Odoo’s app breadth is a real strength — credit where due. PeakSpitz takes the opposite bet: the core an SME actually runs on (orders, operations, inventory, storefront, real accounting and VAT) ships as one platform, and the open REST API plus webhooks cover the genuinely custom rest.
Can we keep our product variants and price rules?
Product data comes across with the catalogue import. Pricing logic differs between systems, so we map your active price rules explicitly during onboarding rather than pretending an automatic import gets the edge cases right.
As much help as you want
Do it yourself, or have us map your fields, run the import and reconcile the result with you. Support is a ladder — you start where you are comfortable and step up only where an area needs it.
