Professional Services
with Odoo.
Project-based businesses need time tracking, invoicing, and project insight that actually connect. Odoo links your CRM, projects, timesheets, and billing in one flow.
Yes, if your business sells time and expertise: projects, hours, invoices. Odoo connects Project, Timesheets, CRM, Invoicing and Helpdesk so a logged hour becomes a billable line without a spreadsheet in between.
The pain we usually find
Service firms leak money in the gap between work done and work billed. Hours tracked in one tool, projects in another, invoices in a third, and by month-end nobody is sure what is billable. The result is under-billing and slow invoicing, not because the work is not there, but because the trail is scattered.
Which Odoo modules do the work
Project plus Timesheets is the spine, with CRM for the pipeline and Invoicing closing the loop; Helpdesk and Field Service slot in where relevant. HR Subsidie Specialist, which guides companies through WBSO and innovation-subsidy applications, binds CRM, project hours and invoicing so billable hours and live applications never drift apart. Studio Marcel Wanders runs project, sales and finance administration on the same base.
Where standard stops, and Updoo starts
Standard timesheets are functional but can be heavy for a busy team. Updoo Timesheets is a stripped-down entry flow, fast enough that people actually fill it in, which is the only version that helps you bill. And you do not have to start big: QPOWER went live on just Sales and Accounting via our kickstart approach, then added modules as the organisation grew.
Read: AI in this sector
Everyone talks about AI. But what does it actually get you when you sell time and expertise? It works best on your own numbers, and you already have them: your projects, hours and invoices, all in Odoo.
On that base, pre-filling timesheets, drafting quotes and flagging projects going off track stop being pilots and start paying back. And because building is much faster with AI in the loop, things that used to be "nice but too expensive" suddenly fit the budget.

Questions about Odoo for this industry.
- Can Odoo track billable hours per project and client?
- Yes. Odoo Timesheets links directly to Projects and Invoicing. Consultants log time against tasks; billable hours flow automatically into draft invoices. You control whether each project is fixed-price, time-and-materials, or milestone-based.
- How does Odoo handle invoicing for project-based businesses?
- Odoo supports fixed price, time and materials, milestones, and retainer billing modes. Invoices are generated from project actuals with one click. WIP and deferred revenue can be managed through Odoo Accounting.
- Can Odoo connect our CRM to project delivery in one system?
- Yes. CRM, Sales, Project, Timesheets, and Invoicing share a single database in Odoo. A won opportunity creates a project with tasks in one click. Everything from first quote to final invoice is tracked and visible in one place.
