It's official! Lighthouse is an official Odoo partner!
You may have heard us talking about our latest obsession already, but for the uninformed, we are excited to officially announce our partnership with Odoo. We wanted to make a full post here on the Hub because this isn't like any of our normal partnerships. Odoo is an open-source suite of highly customizable business apps, from ERPs to CRMs and beyond. Truth be told, we've been working with Odoo since before the summer of 2024, and we've even helped a few businesses with process improvement, websites, marketing, and more through Odoo. We waited until now to announce this because, frankly, we wanted to move ourselves to the platform as soon as we could! As of today, a large portion of our business operations are utilizing Odoo, and even more is planned! So far, we've saved quite a bit in software costs due to Odoo's ability to handle so much of our software needs, all in one place.
We have even identified a few places where our clients could immediately benefit and have helped them move some of their processes over already. But we also wanted to train our team on the platform, go through the Odoo courses, get our official certification, and work with some other partners to ensure we could properly support the needs of our clients.
You might be surprised to know you have likely already used Odoo before, as the Lighthouse Hub (where you are reading this) is powered by the Odoo Website app! It's more than just belief in the future of this platform; we are already seeing results with having so many of our tools on one platform, which greatly improves operational efficiency, data mobility, and the integrations between the apps and our processes.

But what is Odoo?
Customized Business Solutions with Lighthouse
Odoo offers solutions to many business problems, whether common or obscure. Many years of development have resulted in Odoo having a very comprehensive list of default apps available for businesses that can handle many common business processes, from sales and marketing, to inventory and delivery, to manufacturing and floor management, to HR, and more. However, if there isn't an existing Odoo app that fits a need you have, no problem; Odoo apps can all be customized, or even new apps can be created from the ground up.
The Power of Integrated Business Systems
One of the greatest advantages of implementing Odoo is the seamless integration between all modules. Unlike traditional software solutions that require complex integrations between separate systems, Odoo's unified approach means your CRM automatically communicates with inventory management, which connects to accounting, and so on. This eliminates data silos, reduces double entry, and provides real-time insights across your entire business.
Our clients have reported significant time savings after moving to Odoo. Even here at Lighthouse, we saw tens of thousands in savings, just in software licensing our first year. And that doesn't even factor in the benefits of all our data being in the same database, begin able to talk to each other. When information flows naturally between departments, your team can focus on what matters most: growing your business.
Get in Touch for a Demo!
If any of that sounds promising or worth further investigation, look no further, as Lighthouse IT Solutions is here to help. Get in contact with us, and we can set up a hands-on demo of Odoo and its features for you to experiment with. If you find that the suite of standard Odoo apps doesn't quite fit your needs, there is no need to worry; Lighthouse IT Solution's Navigate team can handle your custom development needs. You only need to work with us and explain what issue you are looking to solve or what functions you are looking for out of an app, and we can develop a custom Odoo app for you to solve the problem.
As certified Odoo partners, our team brings both technical expertise and business acumen to your implementation. We don't just install the software and leave you high and dry, we work closely with your team to understand your business processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and configure Odoo to match your specific requirements.
Our partnership approach means we're with you for the long haul. From initial setup to ongoing support and future enhancements, we ensure you get maximum value from your Odoo investment. Plus, our local presence means you'll always have access to timely, personalized support when you need it.
