Implementation notes, migration checklists and cost breakdowns for Odoo and ERP projects in Belgium — written from delivery experience, not vendor brochures.
An ERP project rarely fails on the software. It fails on the parts nobody scoped: the spreadsheet three people maintain that nothing in the new system replaces, the supplier who sends order confirmations as PDFs, the accountant who needs a specific Belgian VAT layout. The articles below deal with those parts rather than with feature lists.
Belgian SMEs meet ERP in three ways: a first implementation replacing spreadsheets and disconnected tools, a migration off Microsoft Dynamics or Exact Online, or an Odoo instance that works but has drifted from how the business now operates. Each has a different failure mode and a different cost curve, and mixing them up is the most expensive mistake in the category.
Odoo is the platform most of this writing concerns, because it is what Belgian companies in the 10–200 employee range keep landing on. Where a different system is the better answer, the articles say so.
