Gathering requirements
Setting up an Odoo system is no easy task. Many companies get into trouble believing that they can just install the software and throw in some data. Inevitably, the scope of the project grows and what was supposed to be a simple system ends up a confusing mess. Fortunately, Odoo's modular design will allow you to take a systematic approach to implementing Odoo for your business.
Implementing Odoo using a modular approach
The bare bones installation of Odoo simply provides you with a limited messaging system. To manage your Odoo implementation, you must begin with the planning of the modules with which you will work first. Odoo allows you to install just what you need now and then install additional Odoo modules as you better define your requirements. It can be valuable to take this approach when you are considering how you will implement Odoo for your own business.
Tip
Don't try and install all the modules and get everything running all at once. Instead, break...
