Reasons Not To Hire An Odoo Freelancer

Unpredictable Quality of Work: Unless you are dealing with a freelancer with a long track record, dealing with a freelancer may be less predictable to know the quality of the work the freelance developer may produce. With an Odoo company, for example, there are ratings and reviews, case studies that can be accessed to review the credibility of your future partner. Freelancers may not have as much info for businesses to properly validate them.

Level Of Reliability: When working with a freelancer one drawback is that they are often a one-man team. Regardless of their expertise, the progress of your project is in their hands. If they get sick or have to deal with some sort of urgent matter your project may be put on hold. Working with an integrator company means they will have more than one Odoo consultant or developer dedicated to your project to help projects stay on track.

Lack of Company Familiarity and Training: Odoo Freelancers work for various companies and industries but there is a chance they may not be familiar with yours in particular. Lack of familiarity and investment can lead to less than ideal project outcomes. While this can be changed with proper communication and training, building a relationship with a freelancer or even several different ones can be a challenge.
