Resource planning
Forward-looking capacity, skills matching, bench tracking, utilization forecasts.
Odoo for US consulting firms, law firms, marketing agencies, and engineering services: project accounting with WIP and revenue recognition, timesheet-to-invoice automation, resource planning, utilization tracking, multi-entity / multi-currency for firms with international clients.
Professional-services firms have a peculiar operational shape: every hour either bills a client, costs the firm, or both. Utilization rates of 60-80% drive profitability. Most firms run this on Excel + a separate billing tool + QuickBooks — and lose visibility into project margins until quarter-end, by which point loss-making engagements are 3 months old.
Odoo PSA closes that loop: timesheets feed directly to client invoicing (auto-generated drafts, professional formatting, approval workflow) AND to project costing (real-time WIP, project P&L, revenue recognition per ASC 606). Resource planning shows who's available next month, what they cost, where utilization gaps are.
Typical deployments: $60K-$200K for 20-200 person firms, $200K-$500K for 200-1,000 person firms with multi-entity.
