Migrating Odoo from Online to On-Premise for Cost Reduction and Data Protection
Client Overview: Road Runner Towing & Truck Service is a well-established company providing comprehensive towing and truck repair services. As their business grew, they needed a more scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution for managing their operations, inventory, and customer data. Initially, they adopted Odoo Online for their ERP needs, but the increasing costs and concerns over data protection prompted them to seek an alternative.
Challenge: The company was facing two major challenges:
- High Operational Costs: Odoo Online, while user-friendly and quick to set up, became increasingly expensive as the number of users and modules grew.
- Data Control & Security: Road Runner required greater control over their data for compliance reasons, especially with the handling of sensitive customer and financial information. They also wanted more flexibility in customizing the system to their specific needs, which Odoo Online limited.
Solution: To address these challenges, Road Runner decided to migrate from Odoo Online to an on-premise Odoo implementation. Aarbee Technology Solutions was brought in to facilitate this migration, leveraging our expertise in ERP implementation, cloud migration, and IT services.
Our team delivered a tailored on-premise Odoo solution that offered:
- Cost Reduction: The on-premise setup removed the recurring subscription costs associated with Odoo Online, providing a more affordable solution for Road Runner.
- Data Control & Security: The new setup allowed complete control over their data, with enhanced security measures tailored to meet their internal standards. They could now store sensitive information on their own servers, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
- Customizability: With the on-premise implementation, we were able to extend and customize Odoo to meet Road Runner’s specific business processes, improving efficiency and providing additional flexibility.
- Seamless Migration: We ensured the smooth migration of all existing data, including customer records, sales history, and inventory, with minimal downtime, ensuring that business operations were not disrupted during the transition.
Results:
- 45% Reduction in Annual ERP Costs: By migrating to an on-premise solution, Road Runner significantly reduced their ERP-related expenses.
- Enhanced Data Protection: The company now has full control over its data, with robust security measures in place, addressing all compliance concerns.
- Improved Customization: The flexibility of the on-premise solution allowed for custom integrations and workflows tailored to Road Runner’s needs, streamlining their operations.
- Increased Operational Efficiency: The customized ERP system led to more efficient inventory and order management, improving overall productivity.
