Odoo development Barking: Softomate Solutions provides Odoo 19 ERP implementation and custom modules for Barking and East London businesses from £8,000.
Odoo development in Barking and East London provides businesses with a complete ERP system — managing accounting, inventory, CRM, HR and more — tailored to your industry and processes. Softomate Solutions provides Odoo 19 ERP implementation and custom module development for businesses across Barking and East London from £8,000.
Odoo is an open-source ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) platform that replaces disconnected accounting software, spreadsheets, and standalone CRM tools with a single integrated system. Accounting, inventory, CRM, HR, manufacturing, sales, and purchasing all share one database — so when a sale is made, stock automatically adjusts, the invoice is created, and the CRM record is updated, without any manual re-entry.
East London businesses across Barking, Dagenham, Ilford, and the wider area face the same operational challenge: growth has been patched together with multiple disconnected tools. A distribution company in Barking might run Sage for accounts, a separate WMS for stock, and Excel for purchasing. Odoo 19 consolidates all of that into one platform with one data set.
Odoo comes in two editions. Community is free, open-source, and covers the fundamentals. Enterprise adds UK-specific accounting features including full MTD for VAT compliance, advanced HR and payroll, multi-company, and marketing automation. Enterprise is priced at approximately £180 per user per year. For most Barking businesses with 5 or more staff, Enterprise is the right choice — the licence cost is typically recovered within a few months through reduced manual admin.
Odoo 19 is the current version as of 2026. It includes improved AI-assisted workflows, enhanced mobile apps, and updated UK Making Tax Digital tools. We implement only Odoo 19 — earlier versions are out of active development and no longer receive HMRC-aligned updates.
Softomate Solutions provides complete Odoo services for Barking and East London businesses — from initial scoping and implementation through to custom module development, integrations, and ongoing support. Our team handles every stage directly; we do not use offshore subcontractors.
The correct Odoo 19 module set depends on your business type and your biggest operational pain point. Distribution and logistics businesses in Barking typically prioritise Inventory and Purchasing.

A phased implementation approach works well for most East London businesses: go live with the core two or three modules your business depends on most, stabilise operations and train staff properly, then add further modules over the following three to six months. Trying to deploy the full Odoo suite on day one is the most common cause of implementation overruns.
Our implementation process for Barking and East London businesses follows six structured stages. Total timeline from kick-off to go-live is 8–14 weeks for a standard multi-module implementation. Custom module development adds 2–4 weeks per bespoke module.
For Barking clients, initial workshops and go-live support are delivered on-site. Development and testing phases are primarily remote with regular video calls and shared project documentation. For Romford, Ilford, and Stratford clients, we schedule on-site visits at key project milestones.
Odoo implementation for East London businesses starts from £8,000 for a focused core deployment. Full multi-module implementations with custom development range from £15,000 to £35,000. We quote fixed prices after the discovery workshop — there are no hourly billing surprises once the project is underway.
| Scope | Cost Range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting + CRM (2–3 modules, standard configuration) | £8,000–£12,000 | 6–8 weeks |
| Core ERP (5–7 modules, data migration from one legacy system) | £12,000–£20,000 | 8–12 weeks |
| Full ERP with custom modules (8+ modules, bespoke development, multiple integrations) | £20,000–£35,000 | 12–20 weeks |
| Custom module development only | £3,000–£10,000 per module | 2–6 weeks |
| Migration only (data export, clean, import to existing Odoo) | £3,000–£8,000 | 3–5 weeks |
Odoo Enterprise licensing costs approximately £180 per user per year, billed directly through Odoo SA. This is in addition to implementation costs and covers all official Odoo Enterprise module updates, cloud hosting (if using Odoo.com), and access to the Odoo support portal. Self-hosted Enterprise on your own server or a VPS is also available, which reduces the per-user cost for larger teams.
For businesses currently paying £1,200–£6,000 per year for Sage licences, or similar for QuickBooks, the Odoo Enterprise licence cost is typically lower and the capability is significantly broader. The implementation investment is a one-off cost; the annual savings on licence fees compound from year two onwards.
Barking and the surrounding East London area has a strong mix of distribution, logistics, manufacturing, retail, and professional services. The A13 and A406 corridors make Barking a logistics hub; the town centre has an active retail and hospitality scene. We have implemented Odoo 19 for businesses across these sectors.
We configure Odoo to comply with UK regulatory requirements relevant to each sector: MTD for VAT for all VAT-registered businesses, RTI payroll submissions for HMRC, and CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) invoicing for construction clients. Odoo 19's UK localisation handles the tax framework; we configure the detail specific to your business.
