The part nobody else does
What "we build it first" actually means
Not a sandbox demo with sample products in it. We build your system, with your data, and we write the custom code your process needs — before there's a contract.

1
We take your real data
A sample of your SKUs, BOMs, routings, customers, price lists and open orders. Whatever you actually run on today, even if it's a spreadsheet.
2
We build the actual system
Your workflows, your warehouse logic, your document layouts. Configured the way it would be on day one of production — not a generic Odoo instance.
3
Custom development is included
Where standard Odoo doesn't fit your process, we write the module. Most partners scope custom work as a change order after you've signed. We build it into the proof.
4
You run it, then you decide
Your team clicks through their own daily work in the system. If it isn't right, you walk away and you owe us nothing.
Why we're willing to do this
Odoo projects fail for one reason above all others: the scope was guessed at, then discovered mid-build at the client's expense. If we've already built 70% of it, there's nothing left to discover. That's also how we can put a fixed price in the contract and mean it.
Verified Google review
They came to us stuck with another Odoo partner.
Simply the best Odoo partner. Professional, available, and helpful at every stage of the project.
We were in a tricky situation with another Odoo partner, and Kerning Code unlocked the situation at a very reasonable price compared to the crazy pricing we often see with Odoo partners.
They didn't focus on the price but on how they could help us — and they delivered on time, with no extra budget, even though they provided far more than expected.
Thank you Anthony, and thank you for your support. I definitely recommend Kerning Code.

Seven questions worth asking every Odoo partner
You're probably talking to more than one of us. Here's what we'd ask in your position — including if you're considering going direct to Odoo.
| Ask them | KerningCode | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Can I see my system before I sign? | Yes — 70% built, on your data, free. | A generic demo instance, or a slide deck of screenshots. |
| Is the price fixed before I sign? | Yes, in writing, after your free build. | Billed by the hour as they go, or a range that only moves up. |
| Who writes the custom code? | Our own developers. Canadian team, coast to coast. | Subcontractors or offshore teams you'll never speak to. |
| What if your estimate was wrong? | We absorb it. Fixed price means fixed. | A change-order process explained in detail on the first call. |
| How many builds last 12 months? | 30+, with 400+ users on systems we manage. | Partners who count lifetime projects instead of recent ones. |
| Who owns the database? | You. Always. Including the custom modules. | Code held in the partner's repo, or licensing on their modules. |
| What happens after go-live? | 6 months of support included in the price. | A separate support retainer quoted the week you go live. |

Everything included. Nothing billed by surprise.
Custom development
Where Odoo doesn't fit your process, we build the module. In scope, not extra.
Data migration
Products, customers, suppliers, open orders, historical transactions.
Go-live week, fully staffed
Dedicated people on call through your go-live, when it matters most.
Admin + end-user training
Both included. Your floor staff and your controller, in French or English.
200+ modules we've already built
Clients get our library. Most "custom" requests already exist and cost you nothing.
We know your operation, not just the software
Process manufacturing (batch, recipe, formula) or discrete (BOMs, assembly, serial numbers) — we've built both, repeatedly, in Canada.
Food & beverage manufacturing & distribution
Bakery & commissary production
Medical equipment distribution & field service
Industrial & equipment distribution
Consumer & hygiene products manufacturing
Process & discrete manufacturing
If it moves product, we've likely built for it.
Manufacturing and distribution beyond this list — bring it to the working session.
We stand behind every build
This is how sure we are.
Every partner talks about outcomes. We put ours in the contract.
-
Free working build — 70% of your system, on your data, before any money changes hands.
-
Fixed price — the number in your contract is the number you pay.
-
6 months of post-go-live support — go-live is the start, not the finish.
-
You own everything — the database, the configuration, the custom modules. Always yours.
-
Payments follow delivered work — milestones you've accepted, never promises.
-
Weekly milestones, shared — you always know exactly where things stand.
30+ implementations in the last 12 months. 400+ users we manage. Zero failed go-lives.

Built for growing operations
This is for you if:
- You run a manufacturer or distributor with 20–100 employees
- You've outgrown QuickBooks, spreadsheets, and disconnected apps
- Your SKUs, BOMs, or warehouses are multiplying faster than your systems
- Your process has real quirks that standard software won't cover
We're probably not your fit if:
- You have fewer than 20 employees
- You're shopping purely on licence price (Odoo sells those directly)
- You want a quick install with no process change
Before we talk about money
The expensive version of this project is the one that fails.
Nobody budgets for a second attempt. But an ERP implementation that stalls doesn't stop — it runs alongside your business while you keep paying for both.
-
You pay twice for the same year
Licences, consulting hours and internal time all keep running while your team quietly goes back to the spreadsheets. The old process never actually stopped.
-
Rework costs more than the original build
Someone has to unpick the configuration before rebuilding it. Undoing a bad data model is slower than building a good one from scratch — and you're paying someone to do both.
-
The real cost is the lost year
Twelve more months of manual order entry, stockouts you didn't see coming, and a month-end close that takes two weeks. That number is almost always larger than the implementation itself.
-
Your team only tolerates one failed rollout
The second attempt runs into resistance that has nothing to do with the software. You've spent credibility you can't buy back, and the people who have to use it every day have already decided it won't work.
This is the entire reason we build 70% of your system before you pay us. Not generosity — scope guessing is what makes these projects fail, and we would rather delete the guess than manage the fallout. It's also why we can put a fixed number in a contract and mean it.
How pricing works
Every Odoo project is priced on complexity, and anyone who quotes you a number on day one is guessing. You'll pay for that guess later, as change orders. So we do it in this order instead:
Working session
30 minutes. We tell you whether we're a fit, and give you honest cost ranges for a company your size.
$0
Discovery and scoping
We map your real processes and pull a sample of your data.
$0
We build 70% of your system
Your workflows, your data, custom development included.
$0
Then, and only then, a fixed number
In writing, based on a system that already exists rather than one we imagined. It doesn't move after that.
Fixed
This is a multi-month engagement with a dedicated team, not a weekend install — so it isn't the cheapest way to get Odoo running, and we won't pretend otherwise. You'll get real numbers in the first 30 minutes, not after three meetings. Odoo licence fees are separate and paid directly to Odoo.
Want to be live for your 2027 fiscal year?
Building a free working system takes real engineering hours, so we only run a few at a time. A typical build runs a few months after that — which means a January 2027 go-live starts with a conversation now.

30 minutes, no deck. We'll give you honest cost ranges for a company your size and tell you whether now is the right time — including if the answer is no.
- Real cost numbers on the first call
- 70% of your system built free if we are a fit
- Straight answer if we're not
Straight answers before you book
There's no catch, but there is a filter. We only do free builds for companies we think are a genuine fit — manufacturers and distributors in the 20–100 employee range where we're confident we can deliver. It costs us real engineering time, so we run a limited number at once. If we don't think we're right for you, we'll say so on the first call rather than build something nobody's going to buy.
Because a number without your context is worthless to both of us. Odoo builds are priced on complexity — how many warehouses, how much of your process standard Odoo covers, how much has to be written. We'd rather give you a real range in the first ten minutes of a call than publish one that's either so wide it tells you nothing or so narrow it's wrong. You will get honest numbers on the first call — that's the point of the working session, and we'll also tell you if we think you're better served elsewhere. Your exact figure is fixed in writing after your free build, once most of the system already exists. (Other partners may call that a proof of concept.) Odoo licence fees are separate and go directly to Odoo.
Because of the sequence. Most partners quote from a discovery document, then discover the real complexity while building — at your expense. We build first and quote second. By the time you see a number, 70% of the work is done and sitting in front of you. If our estimate on the remaining 30% is wrong, we absorb it.
Good — you should be. Ask all of us the seven questions in the table above, and pay attention to who will build you a working system on your own data before asking for money. That single question separates partners faster than anything else.
Sometimes, yes. If your processes are close to standard and you have someone internal who can own the configuration, going direct is cheaper and we'll tell you that. Where it breaks down is custom development, complex manufacturing logic, and data migration from systems Odoo's team doesn't touch. That's the work we exist for.
They might. The questions are whether they've done 30+ implementations in the last year, whether they'll fix a bad estimate on their own dime, whether they write Odoo modules themselves, and whether they'll still be supporting you six months after go-live.
Discovery and the free build take a few weeks. A full build typically runs a few months after that, depending on scope. We set the timeline during discovery and you see milestones every week — no black box.
Yes. We serve clients across Canada, with teams in Montréal — training, documentation, support and your Odoo interface can all run in French, English, or both.
