Overview
Moving from iGEO ERP to Odoo ERP is a migration from a verticalized, pest-control-specific platform to a modular open-source ERP covering CRM, inventory, accounting, project management, and field service under one architecture. iGEO structures its data around Clients, Contracts, Work Orders, Routes, Technicians, Services, Suppliers, Stock, and Invoices with industry-specific compliance codes that require explicit field-level mapping into Odoo. We extract from iGEO via file export (API access is gated behind Custom pricing tiers) or through the platform export feature, parse the comprehensive dump, partition it into migration-ready chunks, and load into Odoo's corresponding apps in dependency order. Industry-specific service types, pesticide tracking fields, and regulatory compliance codes are mapped to Odoo custom fields or product variants depending on the customer's Odoo configuration. Workflows, automations, and AI-generated route plans do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of each for the customer's admin to rebuild in Odoo Studio or via a certified Odoo partner.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a iGEO ERP object lands in Odoo ERP, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
iGEO ERP
Clients
Odoo ERP
Contacts and/or Addresses
1:1iGEO Client records hold contact details, addresses, service locations, and associated contracts. They map to Odoo Contacts (res.partner with address fields) with service locations preserved as additional addresses on the partner record. The client's primary contact email and phone map to standard Odoo partner fields; service location addresses map as separate address records with address_type = 'service' if the customer operates multiple sites.
iGEO ERP
Contracts
Odoo ERP
Sale Subscriptions or Sale Orders
1:1iGEO Contracts define service agreements with clients including scope, frequency, pricing, and work-order templates. They map to Odoo Sale Subscriptions (requires the subscription app) for recurring service agreements or to recurring Sale Orders for periodic billing cycles. Frequency patterns (weekly, biweekly, monthly) map to Odoo's subscription frequency field. Contract line items become subscription lines or order lines with the associated Service Type as the product.
iGEO ERP
Services (Service Types)
Odoo ERP
Products (Product Variants)
1:1iGEO Service Types represent the catalog of offerings such as insect treatment, rodent control, or water quality inspection. They map to Odoo Products with the product type set to 'service'. Pesticide tracking codes and compliance fields map to Odoo product custom fields or to the product's bill of materials if the service involves materials application. We preserve the original service type code as a custom field on the Odoo product for regulatory traceability.
iGEO ERP
Work Orders
Odoo ERP
Sale Order Lines + Project Tasks
1:manyiGEO Work Orders tie a client, service type, technician, scheduled date, status, and location. We map open and historical work orders to a combination of Odoo Sale Order Lines (for billing and contract linkage) and Project Tasks (for technician assignment and field completion tracking). Each work order becomes a Task linked to the Sale Order, with the technician assigned as the Task user, the scheduled date mapped to the Task deadline, and status mapped to the Task stage. Completed work orders preserve their original completion date and technician notes.
iGEO ERP
Routes
Odoo ERP
Field Service Routes or Project Task Sequences
1:1iGEO Routes are daily technician schedules generated by the AI planning module with visit sequence, estimated times, and geographic waypoints. Odoo's Field Service app (part of Odoo Enterprise) provides route management with drag-and-drop scheduling and geographic dispatch. We extract route assignments including sequence order and time windows, mapping them to Field Service routes or to ordered Project Task records if the Field Service app is not enabled. Note that AI-powered route optimization does not migrate; we document the route sequence and time windows for manual re-entry or third-party routing tool integration.
iGEO ERP
Technicians
Odoo ERP
Users + Employees
1:1iGEO Technician records include contact information, assigned territories, availability, and mobile app credentials. They map to Odoo Users (for mobile app access) linked to Employee records (for HR and timesheet context). User credentials are mapped from the iGEO technician email; the Odoo admin provisions new password access. Technicians assigned to specific territories map to Odoo Field Service team membership.
iGEO ERP
Suppliers
Odoo ERP
Vendors (res.partner with supplier = True)
1:1iGEO Supplier records hold vendor contact details and associated product or service offerings. They map to Odoo Vendor records (res.partner with the supplier checkbox enabled). Catalog associations migrate as vendor-specific price lists or product supplierinfo records linking each product to its preferred vendor, lead time, and unit cost.
iGEO ERP
Stock (Warehouse)
Odoo ERP
Inventory Adjustments and Product Locations
1:1iGEO Stock entries track inventory items, quantities, reorder points, and supplier associations. They map to Odoo quant records (stock.quant) linked to warehouse locations. Current quantities migrate as initial inventory through Odoo's inventory adjustment workflow rather than direct SQL import to preserve validation logic. Reorder points migrate to the product's minimum stock rules. Units of measure are normalized to Odoo's uom.uom table.
iGEO ERP
Invoices
Odoo ERP
Customer Invoices (account.move)
1:1iGEO Invoice records include line items, taxes, totals, and payment status. Historical invoices migrate to Odoo account.move records with type 'out_invoice'. Line items map to invoice lines with the corresponding product, quantity, and unit price. Payment status maps to the invoice state (posted, draft, cancelled) and any remaining open balance is preserved for follow-up collection. Regulatory compliance codes and pesticide tracking fields migrate to custom fields on the invoice record.
iGEO ERP
Quotes / Estimates
Odoo ERP
Sale Quotations (sale.order)
1:1iGEO Quotes and estimates are proposals sent to clients before service commitment. They map to Odoo Sale Quotations (sale.order in draft state). Line items, totals, and status (sent, accepted, rejected) migrate with the quotation. Accepted quotes map with state 'sale'; rejected and draft quotes remain in their respective states for customer reference.
iGEO ERP
Custom Fields
Odoo ERP
Custom Fields or Product Attributes
lossyiGEO custom fields on most objects, particularly for compliance and pesticide tracking, are documented during discovery and mapped explicitly to Odoo custom fields (ir.model.fields with column properties) or to product attributes if the custom data applies to service type configuration. Compliance codes, regulatory status fields, and country-specific tracking values are preserved as selection fields or char fields with their original values retained for audit.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source iGEO installation to confirm the plan tier (verifying API access availability), document the exact object configuration including custom fields, compliance codes, and industry-specific settings. We extract a sample data file and assess data quality across Clients, Work Orders, Routes, Technicians, Stock, and Invoices. We identify duplicate records, missing required fields, and stale data (inactive clients, closed work orders beyond the retention window) to scope the migration volume accurately. We also identify which Odoo apps are relevant for the customer's scope so that only the necessary modules are configured.
Odoo schema design and app selection
We design the destination Odoo schema based on the customer's operational scope. This includes enabling the relevant Odoo apps (Contacts, Sales, Project/Task, Field Service, Inventory, Accounting, Purchase, Employees), configuring the chart of accounts for the customer's country and tax jurisdiction, defining product variants for service types with compliance codes as custom fields, setting up warehouse locations for stock migration, and designing project structures for work-order tracking. Custom fields matching iGEO compliance fields are created on the relevant objects before any data load. Schema is validated in a staging environment before production.
File extraction and data transformation
We extract data from iGEO using the platform's file export feature (or API if the customer's Custom plan confirms access). The export generates a full company dump which we parse and partition into migration-ready chunks aligned to our object dependency order. We clean and deduplicate records, normalize address formats, resolve technician-to-user mappings, and map service type codes to Odoo product records. Industry-specific compliance fields and pesticide tracking codes are extracted as custom field data for explicit Odoo custom field mapping. Each chunk is validated against the Odoo destination schema before load.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Odoo staging database (copy of production or a fresh Odoo.sh instance) using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts across all objects (Clients in, Contracts in, Work Orders in, Stock in, Invoices in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the iGEO source, and validates that compliance fields and service type codes landed correctly in Odoo. Mapping corrections, missing field additions, and custom field adjustments happen in staging before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts (from iGEO Clients), Products (from iGEO Service Types with compliance codes as custom fields), Vendors (from iGEO Suppliers), Employees and Users (from iGEO Technicians), Stock (via Odoo inventory adjustment workflow, not direct SQL), Contracts (to Sale Subscriptions or recurring Sale Orders), Work Orders (to Project Tasks linked to Sales Orders), Routes (to Field Service routes or ordered tasks), Invoices (to account.move records), and Quotes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and sample record validation before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze iGEO writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Odoo as the system of record. We validate invoice totals against the source accounting records, confirm stock quantities match, and verify that compliance fields are populated on all migrated service type products and work orders. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for Odoo rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild iGEO automations as Odoo automated actions inside the migration scope.
