Odoo ERP Case Study
From fragmented revenue systems to one unified Odoo platform
The client operated 6 brands across 3 to 4 business units and needed a single source of truth across marketing, CRM, quoting, contracts, subscriptions, invoicing, renewals, and support.

The Challenge
Fragmented systems created handoffs, cost, and visibility gaps
HubSpot, Salesforce, and Kugamon each handled a different part of the customer lifecycle. Because the systems were disconnected, teams dealt with manual reconciliation, duplicated effort, higher licensing costs, integration gaps, and limited executive visibility.
Marketing-to-sales handoffs were inconsistent because lead data did not flow cleanly from HubSpot into downstream sales workflows.
Salesforce managed CRM, quoting, and support data without native connection to subscription, contract, and invoicing records.
Kugamon added quote-to-cash functionality but increased licensing cost and bolt-on complexity.
Leadership lacked a single pane of glass across 6 brands and multiple business units.
3 to 1
Platforms consolidated
HubSpot, Salesforce, and Kugamon mapped into a single Odoo operating environment.
6
Brands supported
Multi-brand workflows planned around Odoo's multi-company and modular architecture.
100%
Source code access
Odoo can be customized at the code level for niche vertical workflows and reporting needs.
Module Mapping
Each legacy workflow was mapped to an Odoo module
The goal was to preserve critical capabilities while reducing manual handoffs, duplicate data entry, and inter-platform integration overhead.
| Legacy workflow | Odoo module | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce CRM | Odoo CRM and Helpdesk | Opportunity tracking, pipeline visibility, and support case management move into a connected workflow. |
| Kugamon quotes and orders | Odoo Sales | Quote creation, approvals, product catalog, pricing rules, and sales orders can run in Odoo. |
| Kugamon contracts and eSign | Odoo Sign and Documents | Contract execution becomes part of the sales and subscription flow instead of a separate handoff. |
| Kugamon subscriptions | Odoo Subscriptions and Accounting | Renewals, recurring invoicing, and payment workflows are planned on the same customer record. |
| HubSpot marketing | Odoo Marketing, Website, eCommerce, and CRM | Campaigns, web leads, MQL to SQL tracking, and CRM follow-up operate in one environment. |
