Services · The 4-Phase Methodology

A predictable path fromblueprint to go-live.

Thirty years of manufacturing ERP experience, distilled into a structured four-phase engagement — engineered to de-risk your Odoo implementation and keep your shop floor running throughout.

4 Phases ~120 hrs typical Zero-downtime cut-over
PHASE_01
20 hrs typical engagement

Blueprint & Architecture

Map the physical operation before a single line of code.

We embed with your production, procurement, and warehouse teams to document exactly how work moves through your facility today — then design the Odoo architecture that mirrors it without forcing your process to bend to the software.

A code-free blueprint, signed off by your team, before any configuration begins.

What We Do

  • On-site and remote workflow discovery across production, procurement, and warehouse
  • Value-stream mapping of current physical operations and handoffs
  • Gap analysis against Odoo standard modules (MRP, Inventory, Purchase, Quality, Maintenance)
  • Architecture spec: modules, custom apps, integrations, and data model
  • Risk register and phased project plan with clear sign-off gates

Deliverables

  • Process Blueprint document
  • Odoo architecture & module specification
  • Risk register and project plan
PHASE_02
40 hrs typical engagement

Configuration & Migration

Your real data, cleanly mapped into Odoo.

We cleanse, normalize, and migrate your master data into Odoo — then configure BOMs, routings, warehouse structure, and automated replenishment logic so the system reflects how your shop floor actually runs.

A working Odoo instance seeded with your real data and live business rules.

What We Do

  • Data cleansing and normalization for items, BOMs, routings, and work centers
  • BOM and routing mapping into Odoo MRP with cost roll-up
  • Warehouse, location, and put-away strategy setup
  • Automated replenishment rules (min/max, make-to-order, reorder points)
  • User roles, security groups, and approval workflows
  • Integrations with accounting, e-commerce, and barcode scanners

Deliverables

  • Configured Odoo environment
  • Migrated and validated dataset
  • Integration test report
PHASE_03
40 hrs typical engagement

Shop Floor "Dry Run"

Operators test the real system on the real floor.

Before go-live, we run end-to-end simulations using your actual production orders — with operators on the floor using tablets and scanners. We stress-test edge cases and refine the UX until the people who'll use it every day are confident and signed off.

Operators confident, trained, and signed off before the system goes live.

What We Do

  • End-to-end simulation using real production orders and work orders
  • Operator UX testing on the shop floor with tablets and barcode scanners
  • Stress testing edge cases: scrap, rework, partial availability, quality holds
  • Process documentation and operator quick-reference cards
  • UX adjustments driven by direct operator feedback

Deliverables

  • Dry-run test report
  • Refined operator UX and screen layouts
  • Signed operator acceptance
PHASE_04
20 hrs typical engagement

Go-Live & Hypercare

A weekend cut-over with live first-day support.

We execute the inventory cut-over over a weekend, freeze the legacy system, and stand beside your team on day one. Rapid-issue triage and hotfixes keep operations running while we tune the system and stabilize your KPIs.

A stable, supported launch with no operational downtime.

What We Do

  • Weekend inventory cut-over and legacy system freeze
  • First-day on-site or live-remote hypercare support
  • Rapid-issue triage and same-day hotfixes
  • Post-go-live tuning of replenishment rules and workflows
  • KPI dashboard review and 30-day stabilization report

Deliverables

  • Go-live runbook
  • Hypercare issue log
  • 30-day stabilization report
Why Cyber X · Operational Difference

Cyber X vs. a generic ERP implementation

The same software, a fundamentally different outcome. Here's where the operational advantage shows up — phase by phase.

Discovery approach

On-site value-stream mapping of your physical operation before any configuration
Remote questionnaires and module checklists driven by the software's defaults

Process fit

Odoo configured to mirror how your shop floor actually runs
Your process bent to fit the software's out-of-the-box assumptions

Data migration

Cleansed, normalized master data with BOM cost roll-up validated
Bulk import of raw legacy data, errors surfaced at go-live

Shop-floor validation

Live "dry run" with operators on tablets and scanners using real orders
Conference-room demo to managers, operators trained on the fly

Cut-over risk

Weekend cut-over with first-day on-site hypercare and same-day hotfixes
Cut-over window left to your team; vendor billed per support ticket

Post-go-live support

Retainer continuity — proactive monitoring, tuning, and module rollouts
Project ends at go-live; ongoing changes billed as new engagements

Manufacturing expertise

30 years focused exclusively on manufacturing and shop-floor ERP
Generalist implementers serving many industries

Documentation

Every integration and customization documented for your team to maintain
Tribal knowledge held by the vendor; re-engagement required to change
