· Odoo Ready Partners: These are entry-level partners who are just starting with Odoo implementations. While they may have some experience, they typically handle smaller projects and are still building their expertise.
· Odoo Silver Partners: Silver Partners have a more established track record with Odoo and have demonstrated the ability to manage mid-sized projects. They have a deeper understanding of the platform and can handle more complex requirements than Ready Partners.
· Odoo Gold Partners: Gold Partners represent the highest level of Odoo partnership. These partners have a proven track record of success, having completed numerous Odoo projects across various industries. Gold Partners are equipped to handle even the most complex and large-scale implementations, providing comprehensive services from consultancy to ongoing support.
Why Choose an Odoo Gold Partner for Your Odoo Implementation?
When selecting a partner for your Odoo ERP implementation, it's crucial to consider their experience, expertise, and the quality of support they provide. Choosing an Odoo Gold Partner, like Smart IT, offers significant advantages that can make a critical difference to the success of your project. Here’s why partnering with an Odoo Gold Partner is a wise decision.
Proven Experience with Odoo Implementations
Odoo Gold Partners have a proven track record of success, having completed numerous Odoo projects across various industries. This experience demonstrates their ability to manage diverse and complex requirements. At Smart IT, we've completed over 170 Odoo implementations, making us the largest and most accomplished Odoo partner in the UK. Our depth of experience not only allows us to anticipate and mitigate potential challenges but also equips us to handle larger and more complex implementations—something smaller partners may not have the experience to manage. This ensures a smoother, more successful implementation for our clients.
High Retention Rate as Proof of Trust
One of the most telling indicators of a partner's reliability is their client retention rate. Odoo Gold Partners typically boast high retention rates, which are a testament to the trust and satisfaction they inspire in their clients. This retention rate is more than just a number; it reflects the quality of the relationships they build, the ongoing support they provide, and the overall value they deliver. High retention rates mean that clients consistently choose to stay with their Gold Partner, confident in the consistent and reliable service they receive.
Accredited Functional Consultants
A key advantage of working with an Odoo Gold Partner is access to accredited functional consultants. These are professionals who have been certified through rigorous Odoo training programs and possess deep knowledge of the platform. At Smart IT, we have a team of 15 certified Odoo consultants—the largest in the UK. This expertise ensures that our clients receive guidance and support that is not only technically proficient but also aligned with their specific business needs.
Unlike many other partners, we use our own in-house team for every project, ensuring consistent quality and direct accountability without relying on outsourced work.
