Professional Services Automation
Odoo implementation for consulting firms, marketing and creative agencies, accounting practices, IT services shops, and any business that bills for time and project deliverables.
Where services firms lose money
Project margin is hard to see in real time, and most services firms only learn whether a project was profitable after it's already over. These are the patterns we hear most often when we sit down with services leaders.
Time tracking lives in three places
One tool for billable hours, another for project status, a third for invoices. Nothing reconciles. Utilization reporting takes a week.
Project margins unknown until invoice
By the time the invoice goes out, the project is over. Nobody knows whether it was profitable. Estimates do not improve because data does not flow back.
Capacity planning by guesswork
"Can we take this project on?" gets answered by gut feel. Bench utilization is a quarterly headache, not a real-time number.
Sales-to-delivery handoff is broken
Sales sells one thing. Delivery hears another. Scope expands without anyone tracking it. Project margins erode.
Client communication is everywhere
Email, Slack, the project management tool, the CRM. When a client calls, nobody knows the latest status without a fire drill.
Invoicing takes weeks
Time entries collected late, approvals chase email threads, invoices generated manually in QuickBooks. Cash collection slips.
Odoo modules that fit services firms
Odoo's project, timesheets, sales, and accounting modules are tightly integrated so the same time entry that prices the work also pays the consultant and posts to the books. These are the modules we deploy for services clients.
We run a services business on the same platform we sell
DewWow runs project tracking and time logging internally for every client engagement. We use the same project-and-time stack we recommend, configured the way we deploy it for services firms. We've shipped work covering full project tracking with cost-center and SOW reporting, B2B education delivery with hundreds of concurrent program launches, NetSuite-to-Salesforce conversions for consulting firms, and integration frameworks for property management investment firms.
We focus on the parts that actually drive services profitability: the time entry that flows from mobile to invoice without re-keying, the project plan that shows margin in real time, the retainer model that reconciles to monthly billing, and the capacity planning view that lets you say yes or no to new work with confidence.
We build for the firm you're growing into — multi-line services, mixed billing models, and managed-services subscriptions — not just where you are today.
