I will migrate your business data from your old system to odoo erp


About this gig
Still running your business on Lexware, Sage, an old Access database or a pile of Excel files? Moving to Odoo is not the hard part. Getting ten years of customers, products, invoices and open items across without losing history is.
I migrate SMEs from legacy systems to Odoo: Lexware, Sage, DATEV exports, WooCommerce, Shopify, custom databases and yes, Excel.
WHAT USUALLY GOES WRONG
Duplicate customer records nobody cleaned. Open invoices that no longer balance. Product variants that do not map. Chart of accounts mismatches. Historical data silently truncated. I check all of it before go-live, not after.
HOW IT WORKS
- Data audit: I analyse your exports and tell you what can be migrated, what cannot, and why
- Mapping: field-by-field mapping document, approved by you before anything is imported
- Test import: full run into a staging Odoo, with reconciliation reports
- Validation: you compare balances and record counts against your old system
- Go-live: final import, cutover date, handover documentation

FAQ
Which systems do you migrate from?
Lexware, Sage, JTL, Shopify, WooCommerce, Access and SQL databases, and CSV/Excel exports from almost anything. If your system can export data, it can be migrated.
Can you migrate my accounting history?
Yes, in the Premium package. Note that historical bookings are usually imported as opening balances plus reference data, not as re-posted journal entries — I explain the options during the audit.
What if my data is messy?
That is the normal case. The audit identifies duplicates, gaps and inconsistencies, and I propose a cleanup approach. Clean data is a decision you make, not something I silently overwrite.
Do I need to buy Odoo licences?
Only for Enterprise, and those are bought directly from Odoo. Community is free and works well for many SMEs — I'll tell you honestly which one fits your case.
How long can I keep my old system running?
As long as you want. Nothing is switched off by me. Most clients keep read-only access to the legacy system for 6–12 months for audit purposes.
Will my invoice numbers stay the same?
Yes. Number sequences are configured to continue from where your old system stopped, so there are no gaps or duplicates in your books.
Where is my data processed?
On servers in the EU, GDPR-compliant. I sign a data processing agreement (AVV) on request. Test data is deleted after handover.
I am already on Odoo and only need a newer version.
That is a different service — see my Odoo upgrade gig, or message me and I'll point you to it.
Which package do I need?
If you are unsure, start with the Migration Audit. You get a written mapping concept and a fixed quote, and the fee is credited against the migration if you book it with me.
