Frequently asked questions
How do you help us choose an ERP?
We start by preparing the requirements document, the first phase of an ERP implementation. For Odoo, we match the company's needs to the right version, plan and hosting, and oversee the set-up and testing of the Egypt localisation package, including the e-invoicing integration, before go-live. Odoo also offers a free trial database and a free one-app plan, so the fit can be tested with the company's own documents before committing.
Do you stay involved during implementation?
Yes. We oversee the implementer on the company's behalf and review each phase's deliverables before they are signed off, and we plan the data migration, carry out the import and reconcile the opening balances before the period is locked. Before go-live we test the accounting and tax configuration and the integration with the Egyptian Tax Authority's systems, and we set up access rights, segregation of duties and the audit trail, which we review periodically afterwards.
Can you review an ERP we already use?
Yes, for Odoo. We review the chart of accounts, the tax configuration and reports, the journals, inventory valuation and analytic distribution, and the e-invoicing connection, because many recurring accounting errors in Odoo trace to a specific setting rather than to how the system is used. We also review access rights, segregation of duties, lock dates and the audit trail.
