Odoo is one of the most flexible ERP platforms available, but flexibility doesn’t mean “customise everything.” At Circel, we customise only when the standard tools can’t deliver the outcomes your business needs — and when we do, we do it right.

We believe in a stable foundation. That’s why we always begin with standard configuration. If we can achieve your business goals with Odoo’s existing features, we will. It’s faster, safer, and ensures your system stays compatible with future upgrades.

When customisations are needed — for workflows, reports, automations, or integrations — we follow a clear development pipeline on Odoo.sh. Every change goes through a structured TEST → ACCEPT → PRODUCTION environment whenever possible, ensuring quality, traceability, and zero surprises.

Custom development isn’t just code. It’s a responsibility. We write clean, maintainable modules, document our work, and build with future growth in mind. Because good customisation shouldn’t feel custom at all — it should feel like it was always part of Odoo.

Our customisation process starts with a simple question: Can we achieve this using native Odoo features?

Only if the answer is no, do we write code.

Why? Because standard-first implementations are easier to upgrade, easier to maintain, and easier for your team to learn. Odoo has an impressive toolbox — and we know how to use it well.

When customisation is the right path, we take a careful, business-oriented approach. We map out the desired outcome, consider the implications on upgrades and usability, and design the most efficient solution possible.

We never develop in production. Every change is:

• Developed in TEST (staging)
• Reviewed and validated in ACCEPT
• Deployed safely to PRODUCTION

This structured pipeline via Odoo.sh protects your live system and ensures changes are tested by both our team and yours — so there are no unexpected side effects on your processes.

Every business has its own nuances — whether it's a unique pricing flow, a non-standard approval chain, or integration with a niche external system. When these needs arise, we step in to design customisations that are purposeful, elegant, and well-documented.

Here’s how we approach it:

1. Understand the goal — We begin with the business context: what needs to happen, why it matters, and what success looks like.
2. Challenge the necessity — Can we solve this with standard features or a process adjustment?
3. Design with precision — If code is needed, we write a clear technical plan before any development starts.
4. Develop with discipline — All code is built in TEST, version-controlled, and isolated to prevent side effects.
5. Validate together — You test it in ACCEPT, provide feedback, and we refine before it ever reaches your live environment.
6. Deploy safely — Only after testing and approval is the feature rolled out to PRODUCTION.

We don’t “hack” Odoo — we enhance it thoughtfully, in ways that grow with your business, not against it.

When you need to go beyond standard Odoo, you need a partner who not only understands code, but understands business. At Circel, we speak both.

We won’t suggest customisations just because it’s easier for us — we’ll challenge ideas, explain alternatives, and only commit to writing code when it truly adds value.

Here’s what you get with us:

• Scoped clearly — No vague dev hours or surprise charges. You know what’s being built, and why.
• Developed responsibly — All code goes through TEST → ACCEPT → PRODUCTION.
• Future-proofed — We never hard-code. We write with upgradeability and maintainability in mind.
• Fully transparent — You can review every feature, give feedback, and request changes before anything goes live.

We see every customisation as a long-term asset — not a shortcut. If that sounds like what your business needs, we’re ready.
