Odoo ERP implementation built for Australian business

Odoo implementation costs in Australia typically range from $20,000 for simple single-module setups to $150,000 or more for complex multi-module deployments with custom integrations. Most SME implementations fall between $30,000 and $80,000 all-in. Auboros provides a fixed-scope quote after a free scoping call. No vague estimates. No hourly billing surprises.

For accounting alone, Xero is fine and moving makes little sense. Odoo becomes the right move when the spreadsheet layer around Xero (inventory, jobs, orders, timesheets) is where the work actually happens. You can also run both together during a transition. We have written an honest comparison of when to upgrade from Xero to ERP, and a guide to running Odoo and Xero at the same time.

A standard Odoo implementation for an Australian SME typically takes 8 to 20 weeks from kick-off to go-live. Simple single-module implementations can be completed in 6 to 8 weeks. Complex multi-module projects with custom integrations and large-scale data migration typically run 16 to 24 weeks. We'll give you a firm timeline in your fixed-scope proposal.

An Odoo Silver Partner is a company formally certified by Odoo S.A. to implement, customise, and support Odoo ERP. Silver Partner status requires at least 3 certified staff members, 75 new Enterprise users sold per year, and a minimum 70% client retention rate, all verified quarterly by Odoo S.A. Working with a certified partner means your project is backed by a team with proven delivery experience and formal accountability. You can view Auboros on Odoo's partner directory to verify our credentials.

Yes. Odoo's accounting module supports GST, BAS reporting, and ATO-compliant financial reporting. Auboros configures all Australian compliance requirements correctly at the start of every implementation. For payroll, Odoo integrates with Australian-compliant payroll platforms for Single Touch Payroll (STP), superannuation, and Fair Work obligations.

Yes. Because every Odoo module shares the same database, you can start with accounting or inventory and add sales, manufacturing, HR, or any other module later without re-implementing or migrating data. Many of our clients start with one or two modules and grow their Odoo footprint over 12 to 24 months as they see the return on investment.

Yes to both. Odoo Community is fully open source under LGPL. Odoo Enterprise adds proprietary modules on top, but all Enterprise subscribers get access to the source code for those modules too. In practice, this means custom workflows, reports, integrations, and entirely new modules can be built directly into your Odoo instance. Auboros has in-house development capability to build custom modules when the standard configuration doesn't cover your requirements.

Odoo Community is free and open source, covering core modules like CRM, sales, inventory, and basic accounting. Odoo Enterprise adds advanced features including full accounting with bank reconciliation, manufacturing (MRP), quality control, Studio (a no-code customisation tool), and official support from Odoo S.A. For most Australian businesses, Enterprise is the right choice because of the accounting and compliance features. Auboros supports both editions and will advise you on which fits your needs during the free scoping call.
