WZ-IT runs Odoo as a dedicated instance in data centres in Germany, Switzerland or Austria, with updates, daily backups, 24/7 monitoring and a personal contact. On request, we also install Odoo in your cloud or on premises.
Odoo is modular enterprise software for CRM, sales, e-commerce, inventory, manufacturing, accounting and HR. Available modules and capabilities depend on the Community or Enterprise edition, localisation and add-ons.
As an independent service provider, we support you in installing, configuring, and customizing this comprehensive business suite to your individual requirements. Leverage the benefits of an integrated solution and optimize your business processes with a platform that grows with your company.
Manage leads, opportunities, and customer contacts with powerful CRM, automated campaigns, and detailed analytics.
Sales & Marketing
Optimize the sales process with quotes, orders, revenue forecasts, email marketing, and POS integration.
Inventory & Stock Management
Track inventory, automate reordering, and optimize your logistics processes with detailed reporting.
Finance & Accounting
Invoicing, dunning, taxes and financial reporting depend on the edition, country localisation and functional configuration.
HR & Employee Management
Employees, leave, working time and recruitment can be integrated; payroll and further HR capabilities depend on country and edition.
E-Commerce & Website
Create professional websites and online shops with full integration into your backend system for seamless customer management.
Manufacturing & Production
Plan and monitor manufacturing processes, manage bills of materials, and optimize your production workflows.
Project & Task Management
Organize projects, track progress, record times, and optimize resource planning with agile methods.
Customizability & Extensibility
Customize Odoo through modules, adaptations, and custom development to match your business processes exactly.
Licence
Licensing notice
WZ-IT operates Odoo Community under LGPL-3.0. Odoo Enterprise modules are excluded. On request, we support you in obtaining any required vendor licence.
Infrastructure, integration and operations
Odoo as part of your infrastructure
We do more than provide an application. WZ-IT designs the technical architecture, integrates network and identity, operates the agreed scope and develops integrations when the standard product is not enough.
Architecture and migration
Sizing, target environment, data transfer, cutover and recovery are resolved before production operations.
On-Premise
In your data center: Installation on bare-metal, VM or Docker · Integration with existing Active Directory/LDAP
Installation in your cloud
In your own cloud account, for example with AWS, Azure, GCP or Hetzner · Terraform/IaC setup (optional) · Kubernetes or Docker Compose · Capacity and scaling design
Enterprise Setup
Advanced architecture after technical and licence assessment: HA and recovery design where supported by the application and edition · Logging according to feature set and edition · Custom security policies
Network and identity
SSO, secure access, internal systems and existing security components are integrated appropriately.
VPN Access
WireGuard, NetBird, Tailscale, Headscale, OpenVPN, Cloudflare Tunnel · Easy client setup for all devices
SSO Integration
Directly or through an upstream identity layer
Multi-Factor Auth
Depends on application, edition and identity provider
Firewall & Hardening
Fail2Ban, Rate Limiting, IP Whitelisting
Monitoring and service level
Updates, backups, technical monitoring and response paths follow a transparent operational scope.
24/7 proactive monitoring
Updates and patches
Regular updates, CVE monitoring and prioritised patches for critical vulnerabilities
Daily backup with 7-day retention
Personal technical contact
Integration and development
APIs, automation and custom extensions can be delivered beyond basic deployment.
External API (XML-RPC)
We integrate Odoo into your landscape. We connect external webshops, PIM systems, or logistics providers via XML-RPC/JSON-RPC to synchronize orders and stock levels in real-time.
Inheritance & Extension
The key to Odoo is inheritance. We don't overwrite core files. We create modules that extend views and models (`_inherit`). This keeps your system updateable.
OWL Framework (Frontend)
For special requirements in Point-of-Sale or Warehouse, we develop interactive components using the Odoo Web Library (OWL) framework - modern, reactive, and fast.
Full-service installation with no hidden costs

Concrete Use Cases
Odoo Development & Integration
Odoo is one of the most powerful frameworks for business software. We don't just click in Studio - we program real modules in Python and XML that hook into the core in an update-safe way.
E-Commerce Connector
Problem
Shopify or Shopware orders must be transferred manually. Stock levels are never correct.
Solution
Development of a bidirectional connector. Orders flow to Odoo, tracking codes back to the shop. Stock levels are reconciled with every booking.
Industry-Specific Reports (QWeb)
Problem
Standard invoices do not meet German requirements (ZUGFeRD) or industry standards (VDA labels in the automotive industry).
Solution
Programming pixel-perfect QWeb reports (PDF) that exactly match your CI specifications and legal requirements.
Special Manufacturing Logic
Problem
Your production has steps (e.g., curing times, scrap calculation) that standard MRP does not cover.
Solution
Extension of MRP modules with Python logic that automatically calculates scrap and schedules work orders based on machine capacity.
Managed Hosting & Operations
How much does Odoo hosting cost?
Compute, applications, storage and response are shown separately. You can see what ongoing operations include and which requirements need a technical assessment.
Integrate Odoo into your infrastructure with clear controls
A business application becomes a resilient part of the process landscape only when data flows, roles, communication paths and interfaces are clearly defined.
Teams and business processes
Employees, customers, partners and automated processes use defined roles and entry points.
Secure access
TLS, firewall rules, reverse proxies or private network paths are designed around the platform's exposure.
Identity and permissions
Local accounts, SSO, directories, service accounts and emergency access are connected through clear roles.
Odoo platform
Business features, workflows, roles and configuration are deployed reproducibly and kept up to date.
Database and files
Business data, attachments, retention, export and consistent backups.
Communication services
Email, documents, notifications and optional background services.
APIs and business systems
Controlled connections to CRM, ERP, directories, payment or third-party systems.
The diagram is a resilient target model. Its implementation depends on edition, data flows, load, availability objectives and existing infrastructure.

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
