How it runs

A simPRO to Odoo migration, end to end

Three stages. No surprises. Your live simPRO data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.

  1. Week 0

    Discovery & Mapping

    15-minute scoping call. We map your Simpro setup, the job, project, commercial-history and module structure that needs to translate into Odoo for the Simpro to Odoo migration and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

  2. Weeks 1–N

    Sandbox Migration & Parallel-Run

    Full migration run in a sandbox Odoo org first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks — every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.

  3. Cutover

    Go-Live & Handover

    Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. simPRO safely retired with full history preserved.

simPRO → Odoo: what actually moves

Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data — cleaned and validated — on the target. Here is the shape of that move.

Today
simPRO

Where your data lives today, in simPRO.

  • Chart of accounts, tax codes and tracking dimensions
  • Contacts, customers and suppliers (with duplicates)
  • Historical transactions, invoices, bills and reconciliations
  • Payroll data, leave balances and STP history
  • Connected integrations (CRM, ecom, payroll, ops)
  • Custom reports and dashboards that finance depends on
After migration
Odoo

The same data, cleaned and validated, in Odoo — ready for day one.

  • Chart of accounts restructured to fit reporting needs
  • Deduplicated contacts, ready to use
  • Full transaction history with references intact
  • Payroll continuity through cutover, STP unbroken
  • Integrations reconnected, working from day one
  • Reports rebuilt to match — same numbers, same periods
What We Migrate

Simpro to Odoo migration services, what is included

Every simpro to odoo data migration is different. Here is what we typically cover when you migrate Simpro to Odoo with us.

Client, site, project, and operational data migration

Clients, sites, job and project records, contacts, assets, and operational context are mapped into Odoo so the business does not lose day-to-day working history.

The data structure is reviewed before migration so it lands in a way that supports Odoo workflows rather than fighting them.

Quote, invoice, and commercial history migration

Quotes, invoices, pricing rules, and related transaction history are migrated and validated so finance and operations retain continuity through the cutover.

Where Odoo expects a different commercial model, we map the transition rather than blindly importing the old structure.

Documents, templates, and workflow migration

Attachments, forms, templates, and operational workflows are migrated or rebuilt to match the Odoo target model.

This avoids the common problem of moving data without moving the surrounding process logic the team still depends on.

Odoo integration rebuild and reporting continuity

Any systems currently connected to simPRO are scoped for rebuild or re-pointing around Odoo, with reporting continuity treated as part of the core migration scope.

The goal is a cleaner architecture after cutover, not just a working import.

Pricing

How we price Simpro to Odoo migration services

Price moves with entity count, chart cleanup, payroll history, custom tax rules, connected apps, and how tight the cutover window is. Here is how we scope it.

Migration audit call

Tell us what must survive in Odoo, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.

Fixed-price migration scope

Once data scope, workflow rebuilds, connected systems, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.

Phase history and integrations separately

If the move includes heavy history, connected systems, or adjacent rebuild work, we can split it into core migration first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.

Case Study

Multi-entity accounting migration that finished ahead of BAS deadline

A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.

We knew simPRO was no longer the right long-term fit, but the operational and reporting history made the move feel risky. They scoped it properly, staged the work clearly, and landed the migration into Odoo with far less disruption than we expected.

Our Process

Simpro to Odoo migration services, step by step

A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.

Assess your simPRO environment

We audit data quality, commercial history, workflow complexity, reporting dependencies, and connected systems so you get a clear scope and fixed price before anything starts.

Clean and prepare

Duplicates merged, stale records removed, categories standardised, and workflow assumptions reviewed before the data lands in Odoo.

Configure Odoo for the target workflow

Odoo is configured around your target process, commercial model, user roles, and reporting expectations before migration data is loaded.

Migrate data and commercial history

Clients, projects, jobs, assets, commercial records, and related documents are extracted, transformed, and loaded into Odoo with validation at each step.

Test and validate

Your team reviews the migrated data in Odoo, checking workflows, operational records, commercial history, and reporting outputs before go-live.

Go live and support

We cut over at the right point, support the first operating cycle in Odoo, and keep simPRO accessible as a reference while the team settles in.

FAQs

Common questions about simPRO to Odoo migration and conversion

How much do your Simpro to Odoo migration services cost?

Depends on job and commercial history, module scope on Odoo (Accounting, Project, Inventory, Manufacturing, Field Service), workflow rebuild, connected systems, and multi-entity structure. We scope your Simpro setup first, then quote fixed price before any work starts.

How long do Simpro to Odoo migration services take?

Broader than a job-tool-to-job-tool switch, since Odoo covers accounting and operations together. Most Australian projects run 8 to 16 weeks depending on module count, history depth, and reporting continuity requirements.

Do you deliver custom Simpro to Odoo migration with Python modules?

Yes. Custom Simpro to Odoo migration is a core piece of what we do, including custom Odoo Python modules for trade-specific workflow, OWL.js frontend components, QWeb reports replacing Simpro PDFs, and bespoke compliance checklists.

Are you a Simpro Odoo migration company for Australian services groups?

Yes. We are a Perth-based Simpro Odoo migration company delivering nationally, with clients in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and regional WA. Delivery is remote and the team is Australian.

Will we lose project or commercial history in the Simpro to Odoo data migration?

No. Clients, sites, jobs, projects, assets, quotes, invoices, and pricing history all migrate with validation at each step. Simpro stays available as a reference until you sign off on Odoo.

Can the team keep working in Simpro during the migration?

Yes. Simpro remains operational while Odoo is configured and validated. Cutover happens on a planned weekend rather than mid-operations.

Do you rebuild integrations against Odoo?

Yes. If Simpro currently connects to Xero, procurement, field mobile apps, payment gateways, or BI tools, those connections are rebuilt or re-pointed around Odoo as part of the scope.
