Odoo & ERP for Indonesian Businesses
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) connects all your core business functions — finance, inventory, procurement, HR, sales, and operations — into a single system. Instead of juggling separate spreadsheets and disconnected apps, your whole organisation works from one real-time view of the business.
CERIS helps you get there two ways: Odoo implementation for businesses that want a proven, modular platform, and custom ERP development when your workflow is unusual enough that off-the-shelf won't fit. We'll tell you honestly which one you actually need.
Odoo Implementation
Odoo is the world's most popular open-source ERP — modular, flexible, and cost-effective, with apps for accounting, inventory, sales, CRM, manufacturing, HR, and more. But Odoo's power is also its trap: a bad implementation leaves you with an expensive system nobody uses.
We run Odoo ourselves. CERIS operates Odoo internally to run our own business, across multiple databases, with our own custom modules. That means when we implement Odoo for you, you get an implementer who lives in the system every day — not a reseller reading from a brochure.
Our Odoo services include:
- Implementation & configuration — set up the right apps for your business and configure them to your workflow
- Custom module development — build the features Odoo doesn't have out of the box
- Localisation for Indonesia — PPN, PPh, e-Faktur-ready invoicing, Bahasa Indonesia, and local business practices
- Data migration — move your spreadsheets and legacy data into Odoo cleanly
- Training & support — get your team confident on the system, with ongoing maintenance after go-live
Your Odoo & ERP consultant for Batam, Kepri & Sumatra
Most Odoo consultants in Indonesia are concentrated in Jakarta. Businesses in Batam, Kepulauan Riau, and across Sumatra are underserved — often forced to work with a remote Jakarta team that doesn't know the region. CERIS is based in Batam. We're close, we're responsive, and we understand cross-border business with Singapore and the wider region.
Custom ERP Development
When your operation is genuinely unique — a workflow no packaged product models well — we build a custom ERP from the ground up, designed entirely around how you work. You own the source code, and you pay no per-user licensing fees.
Common modules we build or configure:
Finance & Accounting — automated invoicing, AP/AR, tax reporting (PPN/PPh), and profit/loss dashboards, always audit-ready.
Inventory & Warehouse Management — real-time stock tracking, low-stock alerts, purchase-order automation, and multi-warehouse support.
Sales & Customer Management — pipeline tracking, order management, quotation generation, and customer history.
Human Resources & Payroll — employee records, leave, attendance, and payroll in one place.
Procurement & Supplier Management — requisitions, supplier comparison, automated POs, and delivery tracking.
Reporting & Analytics — dashboards showing the KPIs that actually matter to your business.
Our Implementation Process
- Discovery & Requirements — we learn your workflows, pain points, and goals before touching the system.
- Odoo vs. custom decision — we recommend the honest best fit, not the most expensive one.
- Configuration / Development — set up Odoo (or build custom) in iterative cycles with regular feedback.
- Testing & UAT — thorough testing and a User Acceptance Testing phase with your team before go-live.
- Data Migration — migrate existing data from spreadsheets and legacy systems.
- Training — train admin and end users so the system actually gets adopted.
- Go-Live & Support — support the go-live period and provide ongoing maintenance.
Who Is This For?
- Manufacturing companies in Batam and Kepri that need production tracking and inventory control
- Trading and distribution businesses managing multiple suppliers and customers
- Service companies needing project tracking, billing, and resource allocation
- SMEs and MSMEs ready to move beyond spreadsheets and disconnected tools
If your team spends significant time reconciling data between systems, re-entering the same information in multiple places, or can't answer basic operational questions quickly — an ERP will fix that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you implement Odoo, or build custom ERP? Both. We recommend Odoo when it fits your needs (most businesses), and build custom only when your workflow genuinely requires it. We'll give you a straight answer at the discovery stage.
Can you implement and support Odoo in Indonesia? Yes. We bring 5+ years of hands-on Odoo experience — we implement, customise, and support Odoo for Indonesian businesses, and we run Odoo internally ourselves. We're based in Batam and serve Kepri, Sumatra, and beyond — a region most Jakarta-based consultants underserve.
How long does ERP implementation take? An Odoo configuration for core needs can go live in 6–12 weeks. A custom or multi-department ERP typically takes 3–9 months depending on scope and data complexity.
How much does it cost? It depends on scope and whether you go Odoo or custom. We provide a detailed quote after a free discovery session. Email enquiry@ceris.id to start.
Can it integrate with our existing software? Yes — accounting software, e-commerce platforms, payment gateways, and third-party APIs can all be integrated as part of the project.
