Your teams
Unified service platform
Odoo brings CRM, proposals, projects, tickets, subscriptions and invoicing together, so your teams no longer switch between disconnected tools or re-enter the same information multiple times.

AI in and around Odoo helps your teams forecast workloads, prioritize tickets, identify at-risk projects and surface relevant knowledge automatically, turning your data into practical operational support.
Focus on billable work
By automating approvals, billing rules and status reporting, consultants and engineers spend less time on administration and more time delivering high-value services to your customers.
Your customers
Transparent project follow-up
Shared project, ticket and portal views mean your customers can follow progress, budgets and open issues in real time, reducing friction and aligning expectations throughout the engagement.

An integrated offer
ERP · Web · IA · BI for IT services and software companies
Five areas of expertise, one team that knows your business.
ERP
For IT services and software organizations, Captivea implements Odoo as a service-centric ERP backbone that unifies CRM, project management, timesheets, helpdesk, subscriptions, invoicing and accounting. We configure the platform around your delivery models—agile development, fixed-price projects, managed services or outsourcing—so data flows seamlessly from lead to contract, from worklogs to invoices, and from support activity to renewals.
Web & Marketing
Using Odoo Website, eCommerce and marketing automation, we help IT firms showcase solutions, publish technical content and capture qualified leads directly into CRM. You can run targeted digital campaigns, nurture prospects with relevant resources, and offer self-service portals where clients follow projects, tickets and invoices—all connected to the same Odoo database that powers your operations.
Business Consulting
Beyond configuration, Captivea brings business consulting capabilities tailored to IT and professional services. We work with your leadership to refine service catalogs, pricing models, project governance, KPI frameworks and roles across sales, delivery and customer success, ensuring that your Odoo environment supports effective ways of working rather than mirroring outdated processes.
Artificial Intelligence
Our teams design and deploy AI and automation scenarios grounded in your real workloads: forecasting demand on delivery centers, prioritizing and routing tickets, detecting project risks early and surfacing upsell signals. We align these use cases with your governance, data protection and security requirements so AI becomes a reliable assistant, not an uncontrolled experiment.
Business Intelligence
Captivea connects Odoo with business intelligence tools to transform your operational data into actionable insight. We build dashboards for project profitability, utilization, backlog and pipeline, SLA performance and recurring revenue, giving managers and executives a single, trusted view of how your IT services business is performing today and where it is heading.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
An ERP for IT services companies is a business management platform that centralizes projects, timesheets, support, sales, subscriptions, finance and HR in a single system. Instead of juggling separate tools for project planning, ticketing, invoicing and reporting, IT providers use ERP to streamline workflows, automate handoffs and gain real-time visibility on margins, utilization and customer commitments.
Yes. Odoo is particularly well suited to IT services and software companies because it natively covers project management, timesheets, helpdesk, subscriptions, CRM and accounting in a modular way. Captivea configures these apps to match your delivery models and integrates them with your development and monitoring tools where needed.
You can run Odoo as a cloud SaaS service, on the Odoo.sh platform for projects with custom code, or on your own infrastructure for full control. Captivea helps you choose the option that best fits your security, performance, integration and compliance requirements as an IT service provider.
An experienced partner such as Captivea brings certified teams, proven methodologies and industry know-how, reducing project risk and accelerating adoption. For IT services firms, this means an ERP that reflects real service operations, not a generic template that your teams struggle to use.
