# ERP & Custom Systems of Record

> ERP development and integration: Odoo implementation and custom systems of record that unify operations, inventory, and finance on one number. By Sentient Arc.

The operational backbone as a single source of truth: Odoo implementation and custom ERP that unify inventory, operations, and finance, so every department reads the same number.

## Every review starts with reconciliation
When operations, inventory, and finance each keep their own version of the numbers, a review meeting opens by arguing about whose figures are right instead of deciding anything. The truth is nobody’s system.

Packaged ERPs promise to fix that, then fail the other way: their rigid modules force a business to contort around the software, and the workarounds quietly recreate the same scattered spreadsheets.

## One definition of an order, everywhere
We start from definitions: what an order, a unit of stock, and a recognized dollar actually mean here, encoded once, so operations and finance compute from the same source instead of reconciling after the fact.

Then we fit the tool to the business: Odoo where its modules match, a custom system of record where the process is the advantage, with migrations run under audit until both sides reconcile.

## What we build
- **Odoo implementation**: Odoo configured to your operations, inventory, and finance flows where its modules fit the business.
- **Custom ERP builds**: Bespoke systems of record for the operational workflows a packaged ERP flattens into generic modules.
- **Operations & finance**: Inventory, procurement, fulfillment, and finance unified on one definition, so departments stop disagreeing.
- **Migration & reconciliation**: Staged migration with reconciliation reports and both systems live, so the cutover happens once and adds up.

## FAQ
**What do your ERP services cover?**

Odoo implementation and fully custom systems of record: inventory, procurement, operations, and finance unified on one definition, with integrations and audited migration.

**Odoo or a custom ERP?**

Odoo when its modules match how you already work, a custom build when the workflows that win you business are exactly the ones no package models. We recommend the cheaper truth, and it is usually Odoo.

**How do you unify finance and operations data?**

By encoding the shared definitions once (an order, a stock unit, a recognized dollar) so both sides compute from the same source of record instead of reconciling separate spreadsheets after the fact.

**Can the ERP connect to our CRM and commerce stack?**

Yes. The ERP is the operational backbone; we integrate it with the CRM, storefront, and finance tools so orders, inventory, and revenue flow through one system of record.
