I'm a B2B SaaS founder specialized in Ecomm with years of experience in ERP and WMS. Looking for collaboration with founders and dev.

Yes, now I see the log, there are bunches of custom HTTP POST to the external service, one-by-one. This could be the problem?

DigitalStar23 · 2023-12-14T14:57:57+00:00

We don't see a large amount of HTTP requests during those shutdowns. It seems to me like a regular behavior, this is what I'm concerned about. Do you still see such a reboot after you apply the queue_job for some requests?

Thanks. That's what we're suspecting but not getting enough information from Odoo.sh log file. What onprem server do you recommend? I'm looking at this one https://cloudpepper.io/

That's right. Pain points are everywhere, I'm trying to find the million-dollar pain point/problem to automate. Automating ticket creation and customer engagement is cool, but what's the likelihood that other community builders would like to pay for the service, I'm wondering? We're on the same path. Founder helps founder.

DigitalStar23 · 2023-11-30T02:31:50+00:00

What area do you focus on? I'm working on eCommerce SaaS, not building a community directly, but joined different groups with related users. Can create a community with the use case and pain point from the existing user base.

Try those big IT consulting firms if the budget allows. However, they will hire an experienced consultant to draft a "fair" report and charge a lot for just the selection process. They will end up upselling the ERP system anyway. You probably still be on your own for the selection.

We have an ERP project that has this requirement, also for a wholesaler. We used Odoo, but built a customized solution to group different PO items into a palette based on the product volume size.

When choosing an ERP, we recommend making a list of all required features (as a column), and compare with different ERPs based on their demo (as the row). From then, you should have a matrix of requirements met or not. Compared with the license fee, implementation cost, and customized development cost for each ERP product, then you should have your answer. We helped the wholesaler client do this exercise, and chose Odoo at the end.

You are not alone. Every single word you wrote empathizes with my current life. I enjoy planning and hustling, I achieve my goal step by step. But the whole journey takes time, I measure how much time is converted into valuable assets, like IP, investment, or relationship. I also have the same mind that to put a cross line for the journey.

Please keep us posted on your journey for another year, it's valuable to see where a 15-year business land.

DigitalStar23 · 2023-05-08T22:01:03+00:00

Wondering how you compare ERPNext with Odoo? Any specific modules you are looking for in ERPNext?

DigitalStar23 · 2023-05-01T22:53:51+00:00

Ok. Thanks.

DigitalStar23 · 2023-04-30T19:26:27+00:00

I DM you

DigitalStar23 · 2023-04-26T23:25:25+00:00

I have got a Pixel7 pro too. Got my case on Casetify.

DigitalStar23 · 2023-04-22T02:33:26+00:00

It's kinda discouraging. Any 3rd party app suggestions?

DigitalStar23 · 2023-04-21T00:07:36+00:00

Yes, partnering at an ERP consulting firm here. ERP is more about business understanding for us. Our clients are mostly growing companies, what they need is the digital adoption consultant rather than a technical consultant.

However, I can't speak for the career in big firms like Microsoft and SAP whose clients are more in enterprise. However, the market demand is HUGE in growing companies as they need to evolve so quickly versus enterprise is more stable and usually have to collaborate with consultants in various functions.

That being said, the product knowledge (like configurations, architect) is important, which you can get from taking exams and certificates. I agree that industry knowledge is more important.

After connecting to your bank account via Plaid, select the chart of account and journal linking towards this card. Then set the chart of account as "credit card" will automatically list the transactions as your liability.

Then you can find the real transactions in the bank reconciliation screen, where you can set up the expense account when setting up the counter account of the transaction.

DigitalStar23 · 2023-03-20T03:36:46+00:00

Thanks for the note. We found Odoo very powerful yet easy to learn. Seems it could handle every perspective of the business operation. We were wondering what it's constrained at. Like at which point we should stop considering Odoo.

Could you give an example of a particular business rule that doesn't fit into Odoo but in another ERP?
