HR & payroll at scale
Grade-based payroll, leave, performance — proven at 500,000+ employee scale.
Public-sector ERP at national scale.
Auditable trails, grant reporting, and procurement controls that hold up to external scrutiny. We delivered Odoo HR, payroll, and custom modules for a 500,000-employee national government workforce, with 1,000+ users.
Why public-sector ERP is a different game.
Public-sector ERP demands what private platforms handle as afterthoughts: donor-specific grant reporting (EU, UNDP, World Bank, DFID), procurement with audit trails, multi-fund accounting, and HR/payroll at scales that break standard configs.
Our largest Odoo engagement is exactly this — HR, payroll, and custom modules for a 500,000-employee government workforce with 1,000+ users, live across multiple payroll cycles. We've also delivered for government ministries, World Bank projects, and multilateral donor programs, passing GIZ and donor audits without findings on system controls.

— Questions
Public sector — FAQ.
Can Odoo scale to national workforce HR and payroll?
Yes — we delivered an Odoo HR, payroll, and custom-modules engagement for a 500,000-employee government workforce, with 1,000+ system users across the agency. Scale of this kind requires serious performance engineering (database partitioning, payroll batch processing, report pre-aggregation) and governance (role-based access, segregation of duties, audit logging at every transaction). We've done that work. The patterns are transferable to your engagement.
Can you comply with donor reporting standards?
Yes — EU (EDF and equivalent), UNDP, World Bank (client connection), DFID, GIZ, AFD, and JICA reporting templates. We configure the system to produce required reports without hand-assembly.
What about procurement compliance for donor-funded programs?
Structured workflows with role-based approvals, sealed-bid processes, supplier pre-qualification, and immutable audit logs. We've passed external audits from EU OLAF and GIZ internal audit teams. Configurations include EU PRAG-aligned procurement workflows.
Do you work in challenging operational contexts?
Yes. Public-sector programs often operate across distributed field offices, with intermittent connectivity, constrained infrastructure, and elevated staff turnover. We design for these realities: offline-capable workflows with eventual sync, low-bandwidth interfaces, edge deployment where needed, and role-based training with written standard operating procedures so continuity doesn't depend on individuals.
What about security — does Odoo meet government standards?
Odoo supports the security controls most donor and government programs require: encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access with segregation of duties, immutable audit logs, SSO via SAML/OIDC. For programs with FISMA, FedRAMP, or equivalent requirements we configure hardened deployments — typically on government-approved cloud (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government) or air-gapped environments.
Can you handle beneficiary management?
Yes. We've configured Odoo for programs tracking millions of beneficiaries with individual records, program enrollment history, outputs tracked against targets, and outcome reporting. Privacy-by-design patterns prevent PII exposure where required.
