Challenges with Odoo v12 community

Power Q was using Odoo v12 community with the above-listed modules. With limited functionality available in the v12 community, the system was customized as per their business processes. However, over customization created multiple traceback errors and it made the system operations were very slow. The time and need of the hour hinted at system optimization. That's when Power Q approached Odoo's sincere partner Synconics technologies for optimizing the setting of different modules, optimizing process flow, updating custom modules, etc.
 
​Suggestions & Solution

Synconics technologies are really good in what they do and they always suggest their clients with honest, transparent, opinions favorable to clients' commercials and business approaches. On analyzing the system, Synconics observed the issues were due to over customization, so instead of optimizing the system, they suggested migrating the system to Odoo v14 enterprise. As if v12 code was to be optimized, it would have taken a long time to analyze, check, rectify and test, with similar time the modules could be migrated to v14. With the migration, Synconics suggested modules optimization and resolving the traceback errors and the bugs observed by the client during system operations in v12.
PowerQ agreed to migrate on v14, but they were more inclined towards community as they were using v12 community edition. Synconics not only suggested enterprise edition but also odoo.sh the benefits were explained based on practical parameters listed below:




As the number of users was only 16, they were suggested with Odoo.sh. So that management of server administrators can be avoided. Also, it is more secure without worrying about SSH certificate purchase. The auto-update of code with new features is done by Odoo. Thus the client always has an updated robust system.

As PowerQ had many customized modules, Synconics mapped the functionality of the customized modules with the standard v14 enterprise functionality, like accounting reports, barcode, mobile app, responsive, etc. v14 enterprise had all the features, except for some tailor-made customized modules. Many customized applications were removed while migrating to v14 and the system load was reduced.

We takes immense pride in delivering customized tailor-made applications that are not only feature-rich but also optimized for optimal performance. Our team of experienced developers goes the extra mile to ensure that the code is meticulously fine-tuned, resulting in highly efficient and lightweight solutions. We leave no room for errors, bugs, or trackbacks to hinder the seamless functioning of the applications.

We continuously strive to stay at the forefront of technological advancements, and we are thrilled to share that Odoo ERP's latest version, v14 Enterprise, showcases remarkable improvements in terms of speed and performance. One of the key factors contributing to this significant enhancement is the changes made to the core programming language.

After Effect

The v14 sales functionality is more similar to v12. However, the added features of v14, like the online signature, coupons, and promotion helped the company in sales growth. As PowerQ’s most of the businesses are project-based, the online signature makes it easier for them to lock the deal without waiting for a physical signature or approval. On sending the sales quotation to their portal customer, PowerQ can accept and sign with the online signature feature and approve the quotation in a matter of minutes.

The workload of the purchase, warehouse, and the account manager is reduced with the 3-way matching of purchases. It matches the purchase order with the ordered quantity and payment done against the received quantity.

Odoo v14 version provided the functionalities for project planning and project profitability analysis. This helped PowerQ in planning the projects in pipeline, in progress, etc. The project profitability alloweallowed them to scale the profit/lost scenario with the ongoing project. 

(MPS) Master Production Scheduler and Subcontracting feature, these two features are the most crucial functionality for project base manufacturing scenario. With the MPS module, the project planning is streamlined to achieve the target. Subcontracting features helped in outsourcing the manufacturing process and handling of the raw material.
