implementing odoo by myself for a small company
i'm looking for some honest feedback and reality checks from people who have been down this road.
we are a small company (5 people) currently running on a local legacy erp (money s4). we’re planning a greenfield odoo implementation - no heavy data migration, just starting clean and importing a minimal amount of historical data.
i have a software development background, so self-hosting, server setup, and technical troubleshooting aren't an issue for me. however, i know erp business logic and odoo configuration can be a completely different thing.
scope and modules we need:
- inventory / warehouse
- sales
- website & e-commerce
- studio
our plan:
- on-premise deployment (docker).
- solo setup (me handling configuration, workflows, and deployment without an official odoo partner).
my questions:
- is a solo implementation realistic for this specific stack without losing my mind?
- are there any major pitfalls when syncing pos + e-commerce + inventory out-of-the-box?
- for this module stack, would you strongly recommend enterprise over community, or is community completely fine for a clean start?
- what was the hardest part for those of you who implemented odoo alone?
appreciate any insights, advice, or warnings!
