Odoo Integrator in France
An integrator that can also code, anywhere in France
The French Odoo integration market is well served. You will easily find someone to configure your modules in Toulouse, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Nantes or Paris. The wall comes later, the day a process refuses to fit the mould and your provider answers "Odoo doesn't do that".
KERN-IT has been a Python development shop for over 14 years. And Odoo is a Python framework: its ORM, its business logic, its OWL and XML views rest on exactly the foundations we practise daily. We implement Odoo like any integrator, but where the standard stops, we keep going.
We work across the whole of France, remotely with visits at the moments that matter. Team based in Brussels: same language, same time zone, same European law, no geographic premium and no offshore.
What sets us apart from French Odoo integrators
Custom work doesn't stop us
Many integrators stop at configuration and Studio. We develop real Odoo modules in Python, versioned, tested and upgrade-safe. Your project scope is no longer capped by your provider's skills.
Advice that costs us sales
We will tell you when Odoo isn't the right answer. Since we also build custom software, we have no incentive to force everything into the ERP. Every tool in its rightful place.
European proximity, not offshore
A team in Brussels, reachable during French business hours, travelling for the audit, training and go-live. Your data stays in Europe, and so does your contract.
What we set up in Odoo
Sales & CRM
Sales pipeline, quotations, orders, invoicing and subscriptions. The full journey from lead to payment, with no re-entry between two tools.
Purchasing, inventory & manufacturing
Procurement, multi-warehouse inventory, lot and serial traceability, bills of materials and manufacturing orders.
Custom modules
When your business falls outside the standard: clean Python/OWL/XML development, tested and compatible with Odoo version upgrades.
API integrations
Connecting Odoo to your e-commerce, your website, your business tools or third-party services. Data flows both ways.
National coverage, without the shell offices
We don't pretend to have an office in every major city. We work remotely from Brussels, with occasional visits to your site, and that is precisely what makes the model worthwhile: you are not buying an address, you are buying Python developers who understand your business.
This is already how we operate in France on the Wagtail CMS, where we have supported French organisations for years. On Odoo the logic is identical: the initial audit, training sessions and go-live happen on site, everything else runs over video with regular demos.
On funding, French SMEs have several levers for a digital transformation project: regional schemes, Bpifrance support or, if your project involves genuine development work, innovation-related tax mechanisms. Conditions vary widely by region and by year: check with your CCI or regional council. We provide the detailed quotes these applications require.

Our implementation method, in 6 steps
1
1. Process audit
A day on site with your teams to understand how you actually work. This is where the project is won or lost, not in the configuration screens.
2
2. Scoping and firm quote
Module scope, integrations, volume of data to migrate, any specific development. You get a budget and a schedule, not a range that keeps sliding.
3
3. Configuration
Setup of the chosen modules, French chart of accounts, workflows, access rights and reports. We exhaust the standard before writing a line of code.
4
4. Development and integrations
Custom Odoo modules when the standard isn't enough, API connections with your existing tools. Incremental deliveries and regular demos.
5
5. Data migration and training
Import of your customers, products, stock and history from your old system. Your teams test on their real data before switchover.
6
6. Go-live and follow-up
Supported switchover, reinforced presence in the first weeks, then support, evolutions and controlled version upgrades. You keep ownership of your code.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, across the whole country. We support clients in Toulouse, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Nantes and the Paris region. The work is run remotely from Brussels, with on-site visits for the initial audit, training and go-live. Same language, same time zone, no geographic premium.
For the technical depth, not the geography. Most Odoo integrators stop at configuration; we are first and foremost a Python shop, and Odoo is a Python framework. In practice, your project doesn't stop where the standard stops. And we stay within the same European framework: GDPR, contract law, invoicing in euros.
Most often between €15,000 and €40,000 of implementation work for a multi-module SME rollout with data migration and training. A focused start on one or two modules costs considerably less; a project with custom development often exceeds €40,000. Odoo licences are paid separately, per user per month. See our Odoo implementation for SMEs page for the line-by-line breakdown.
2 to 4 weeks for a start on one or two modules, 4 to 8 weeks for a standard SME rollout, 8 to 16 weeks as soon as custom development or integrations are involved. What stretches a project is almost never the configuration: it's the quality of your data and your teams' availability.
We are currently finalising our official Odoo partnership. In the meantime, what matters for your project: over 14 years of Python, dozens of companies digitalised, and Odoo modules that survive version upgrades. The partner label certifies a volume of licences sold; it does not certify that someone can read your processes or write clean code.
Yes, we get asked this often. We audit the existing instance, the modules built by a third party and the real state of the data, then tell you frankly what is salvageable and what has to be rewritten. A takeover audit is short, scoped work, before any broader commitment.
Yes, and it's where we are strongest. Private modules in Python/OWL/XML: fields, views, workflows, business rules, reports. Clean code that follows Odoo standards, versioned, tested and designed to survive version upgrades rather than a fragile stack of Studio customisations.
