Cory Lenci (Odoo): There’s basically two channels at Odoo. But there’s a separate channel, a different channel called the indirect channel, okay? And that’s partner driven, which is essentially the service delivery piece being executed by a business partner like WAO Group, who are here today with us. And potentially customisation, EDI, it needs to be addressed by a business that has the capability, or the resources to actually get on site, work with you, to figure that out and solve that puzzle. If I haven’t already said so, I’m Cory, I’m a partner manager, but also manage some key partners. One of them, Jeri, is here today.
Jeri Wambeek (WAO Group): Hi guys, I’m Jeri. We are a partner we essentially service Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands area. We don’t just expect you to know it because we say it’s right, or because you saw a demo and you saw it. We prove it to you.
Cory Lenci (Odoo): On the service side, you have the partner, in this case, that also manages aftercare, from a functional point of view, from an implementation point of view.
Belinda Wilson (AJ Wilson): We’ve certainly felt like we’ve been part of the team, and he’s been part of our team more than anything. It’s not, “Okay, go live, see you, bye, good luck with it.”
Jeri Wambeek (WAO Group): We have done this entire implementation remotely.
Belinda Wilson (AJ Wilson): We’re a very happy Odoo customer.
WHY WAO
The Odoo Partner That Speaks Accountant
Most Odoo partners are IT businesses that learned accounting software. WAO Group is an accounting business that mastered Odoo — with Chartered Accountants in the team. That difference shows in every implementation, from chart of accounts to BAS lodgements to STP Phase 2 payroll compliance.
Accounting-Led, Not IT-Led.
WAO Group was founded by accountants with over a decade of practice in Australian compliance — and our team includes Chartered Accountants. We understand your books, your obligations, and your cashflow — not just your server stack.
Deep Australian Compliance Expertise.
GST, BAS, STP Phase 2, TPAR, Single Touch Payroll — we configure Odoo to meet your Australian obligations from day one, not as an afterthought. No rework, no compliance surprises after go-live.
Full ERP Lifecycle Support.
From pre-implementation review through to ongoing optimisation, we're with you for the long run. 40+ Australian businesses rely on us as their permanent Odoo support partner — not just for the initial project.
WHAT IS AN ODOO PARTNER?
What Does an Odoo Partner Actually Do?
Odoo is a comprehensive business management platform covering accounting, inventory, sales, CRM, manufacturing, payroll, eCommerce and more.
An Odoo partner is a company certified by Odoo S.A. to implement, customise and support the platform for businesses.
Not every company that "does Odoo" is an official partner. Certified Odoo partners like WAO Group have passed Odoo's technical and functional certifications, have a track record of successful implementations, and operate under Odoo's quality standards.
As your Odoo partner in Australia, WAO Group acts as your long-term ERP advisor — handling the implementation, the ongoing configuration changes, version upgrades, and day-to-day support so your team can focus on running the business.

They said, “Well, you’re going to use Pepper, you’re going to need to use a partner. You can’t use it out of the box.” We liked that you guys were just up the road, in Port Macquarie. That meant you knew what we were facing, and it made it a bit more real. I think the clincher was the fact that you guys were so close. If we had an issue, you could be on site. And it probably didn’t matter if they had experience with another food service distributor, because we didn’t want to do the same as them either. When we spoke to you guys, it was more of a discovery. This is how the program works. How does your business work, and how can we morph it together? I think with the remote implementation, it was seamless. There were no hiccups, it was smooth sailing. The team was fantastic.
HOW TO CHOOSE
How to Choose an Odoo Partner in Australia
The partner usually matters more than the software. The same Odoo can run a business well or badly depending on who sets it up. Here are six things to check before you sign with any Odoo partner, including us.
01
Experience in your kind of business
Odoo covers inventory, manufacturing, wholesale, eCommerce, point of sale, projects and field service. Ask for references from businesses that run like yours, and which modules they went live on, not just how long the partner has worked with Odoo.
02
Accounting set up right from day one
Every module ends up in the ledger. Ask who designs your chart of accounts, and how GST, BAS, Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 and TPAR will be configured and tested before go-live. If the answer is "after go-live", expect rework.
03
A track record you can check
Odoo publishes each partner's tier, client references, certified experts and client satisfaction in its partner directory. Read it yourself. WAO Group's listing shows 60+ client references, 10+ certified Odoo experts and 95%+ client satisfaction.
04
Scoping before a price
A quote written before anyone has mapped your processes is a guess. Ask for a scoping stage that produces a plan and a detailed cost estimate, so you know what you are buying before the build starts. How we scope
05
A migration and go-live plan
Ask how your data comes across from Xero, MYOB, Cin7 or spreadsheets, how it is checked, and what the cutover looks like. A.J. Wilson took 12 weeks to build and one weekend to switch. Read their story
06
Support after go-live
Go-live is the start. Ask who answers when something breaks, in which hours, and how version upgrades are handled. A partner who will still be there for your next Odoo version matters more than a fast first project. Our support

FAQ
Common Questions About Odoo
Partners in Australia
An Odoo partner in Australia is a company that has been certified by Odoo S.A. to implement, customise, and support Odoo ERP for Australian businesses. Certified partners like WAO Group have completed Odoo's formal certification programme, have demonstrated implementation experience, and are listed in Odoo's official partner directory. Working with a certified Odoo partner means you have access to trained consultants, quality-controlled project methodologies, and ongoing support rather than relying on freelancers or uncertified resellers.
Check six things: references from businesses like yours; how GST, BAS, Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 and TPAR will be set up and tested; the partner's published track record on Odoo's partner directory; a scoping stage before a price; a tested data migration and go-live plan; and who supports you after go-live. See the checklist above.
Odoo implementation costs in Australia vary significantly by scope. A focused accounting-only implementation typically ranges from $8,000–$20,000. A full ERP implementation covering accounting, inventory, purchasing, sales, CRM and payroll for a mid-sized business typically ranges from $40,000–$150,000. During our free discovery call we'll give you a clear scope and a costed proposal, with the assumptions written down so you can see exactly what would move the number.
A focused implementation (e.g. accounting and inventory only) typically takes 4–8 weeks. A full ERP implementation for a business with manufacturing, multiple warehouses, or complex eCommerce requirements typically takes 3–6 months. WAO Group uses a phased methodology to get you live on core modules quickly, then layer in additional functionality over time to minimise disruption.
Yes — Xero and MYOB to Odoo migrations are one of our most common engagements. We handle the extraction of your historical data (transactions, contacts, products, opening balances), map it to Odoo's data structure, and configure your Australian chart of accounts and payroll from scratch. You keep your history and start fresh on a properly configured system.
Yes — and this is where being an accounting-led Odoo partner matters most. WAO Group configures Odoo's Australian payroll to comply with STP Phase 2, configures the correct GST treatment for your product and service categories, sets up your BAS reporting structure, and ensures TPAR requirements are handled correctly. We've done this for 300+ Australian businesses.
Most Odoo partners in Australia are IT companies. WAO Group was co-founded by accountants, and our team includes Chartered Accountants — which means our implementations are led by people who deeply understand your financial requirements, your compliance obligations, and how your business actually uses its numbers. We don't just get Odoo running; we get it working the way your finance team needs it to.
