SmartStream ERP: From QuickBooks to Odoo in 12 weeks

Choosing the right software can shape the future of your business. 🤝 If you’re managing just the basics of your finances, accounting software might be enough. But when your business starts handling multiple departments, inventory, and operations, that's when a unified system like ERP can truly make a difference. An ERP isn’t just about accounting—it connects your teams, streamlines workflows, and provides real-time insights to help you make smarter, faster decisions. It’s built to grow with you, supporting complex needs while keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

It's day 10 in my series of the 15 ways the ERP industry is broken. If you are still with me, congratulations (and thank you). In case you don't want to wait 3 weeks for the series of posts to finish, you can see my thoughts on the 15 ways the ERP industry is broken here: https://lnkd.in/gd9CKVUe If you want to see what Stellar One is doing differently, feel free to go to this link: https://lnkd.in/gqzhVsQX Also, in case you think I can't count, the first day was the overview. Point 1 discussion started on day 2. 9.     Be unique where it matters. Be boring everywhere else. To all business process owners out there I say the following. The “efficient” pricing structure you have concocted, the complex commission plan you have invented, or the convoluted availability calculation you have dreamt up are doing absolutely nothing to help you do what you should be focusing on which is, building a better customer experience. Stop making a science project out of back office processes. These cost you so much more time and money than you realize and provide no benefit to your customers. The unique thing about you is something to do with your product or the experience you provide, not the 27 different ways that you can discount a product. I am continually amazed at how much time and money companies insist (I use that word deliberately) on spending to implement things that could be greatly simplified and give almost exactly the same result. Things that make almost no difference to the customer experience. When implementing an ERP system, instead of porting over your vanity project for commissions, understand what the new system will do and take the opportunity to leverage modern, out of the box technology to simplify something you did in the past that you can’t explain to anyone else and that you can ‘t even remember why you did it. The best, fastest, smartest way to implement a new system is to use the most common business processes for everything that is not directly part of your company’s differentiators. As boring as that sounds, standardized / out-of-the-box business processes and calculations will speed up user adoption, make it easier to hire people or automate processes, and create a much broader community for assistance when needed. Dare to be boring in your back office.

🚀 Behind the Scenes of a Custom ERP Build Every successful ERP solution starts long before the first line of code. Here’s how we approach it step by step: 🔍 Planning – We sit with the client, understand their unique workflows, challenges, and goals. No two businesses are the same, so their ERP shouldn’t be either. 💻 Development – This is where ideas turn into reality. Our team builds, tests, and refines features tailored to the client’s exact needs, making sure the system actually simplifies their daily operations. ⚡ Deployment – The final (and most exciting) step! We roll out the ERP smoothly, ensure team onboarding, and stay close for support until everything runs seamlessly. 👉 Behind the screens, it’s not just coding—it’s about understanding people, solving problems, and building tools that empower businesses to grow. 💡 If your business is considering a custom ERP to streamline operations, I’d love to share insights from our journey and discuss how we can build the right solution for you. #ERP #SoftwareDevelopment #BusinessGrowth
