Project Overview
Automotive Wheels Ltd., a growing wheel manufacturer & wholesaler in the UK, approached Uncanny to modernize its outdated Odoo environment and eliminate long-standing system inefficiencies. With increasing product complexity, marketplace integrations, and daily operations depending on unstable custom modules, the company needed a clean, reliable, and scalable ERP foundation.
Given the challenges, we decided to upgrade its entire ecosystem to Odoo 18 to resolve dependency conflicts, stabilize marketplace automation, improve data accuracy, enhance workflow automation, and more. The result was a future-ready ERP that now supports Automotive Wheels’ continued expansion.
The Key Operational Challenges Identified
1.
Outdated Odoo Version Creating Instability
The company was running an older Odoo build that lacked key features, lacked modern security updates, and was not compatible with the newer way of working.
2.
Legacy & Obsolete Modules Causing Dependency Conflicts
Multiple unused, outdated, or third-party modules created dependency errors, prevented clean upgrades, and introduced workflow failures.
3.
Broken Customizations Affecting Daily Operations
Essential functions, including marketplace automation, credit-limit validation, and dynamic product fields, were unstable and required complete rework.
4.
Data Integrity Risks During Migration
The existing environment contained inconsistent records, missing files in the filestore, and backup issues that posed risks during system migration.
5.
Bugs Across Core Workflows
Product-template errors, PDF mismatches, and module malfunctions disrupted sales operations and required constant debugging.
6.
Coordination & Validation Gaps
Without a structured QA or collaborative validation process, developers encountered blockers that slowed releases and increased the risk of deployment errors.
Uncanny’s Structured Odoo Migration
1.
Comprehensive Pre-Migration Audit
Our team performed a detailed review of existing Odoo modules, dependencies, database health, custom code, and marketplace workflows to identify all risks before the migration began.
2.
Clean Removal of Obsolete & Conflicting Modules
Legacy, unused, and unstable modules were removed or refactored to eliminate dependency conflicts and reduce upgrade failures.
3.
Controlled Migration to Odoo Version 18
Our data migration team performed a controlled migration of the entire database to Odoo 18, resolved compatibility issues, aligned custom codebases, and ensured all records migrated safely with no data loss.
4.
Restoration & Validation of File Store
Backup files were restored, validated, and appropriately indexed to fix inconsistencies caused by earlier storage issues.
5.
Rebuilding & Stabilizing Key Custom Modules
Critical components of Odoo migration, like marketplace automation, credit-limit rules, and dynamic product configurations, were enhanced to ensure stability and full compatibility with Odoo 18.
6.
Cross-Functional Collaboration with Client Teams
Regular discussions with the Automotive Wheels team helped us to resolve development issues, validate workflows, and keep the migration process aligned with operational expectations.
7.
Rigorous QA with Production Databases
We performed in-depth testing on production data to verify end-to-end functionality, identify hidden inconsistencies, and ensure the upgraded system was ready to take the real-world load.
