When QuickBooks stops
being enough.
You find out a job is over budget at month-end, not when you can still do something about it. Costs sit in QuickBooks but aren't linked to the project.
POs tracked in spreadsheets, bills arriving without matching POs, holdbacks calculated manually. It works until a lien lands.
Site supervisors order what they need; it hits the GL weeks later. No job-level material budget until the damage is done.
Draw schedules calculated in Excel, invoiced in QuickBooks, holdback tracked in another spreadsheet. Three systems for one billing cycle.
Fleet maintenance, fuel, and depreciation tracked in a separate system or not at all. Job cost reports miss a significant cost category.
One system from
PO to closeout.
Edmonton construction has a specific profile: industrial projects tied to energy sector demand, large multi-phase scopes, and procurement that spans Canadian suppliers and US equipment vendors. Odoo connects purchasing, labour, equipment, and billing into one job cost view — with Alberta GST and holdback handling built in.
We configure Odoo around your project structure — not a generic North American template. That means your job codes, phase breakdowns, subcontractor workflows, and holdback rules are in Odoo from day one.
Alberta's industrial hub
has specific requirements.
Edmonton construction demand tracks oil sands and refinery turnarounds. Odoo's project and resource planning handles the capacity swings that come with energy-sector contract cycles.
Alberta industrial supply chains span Nisku, Leduc, and Red Deer. Multi-vendor purchase orders, approved vendor lists, and PO matching are core to Odoo's procurement module.
Alberta lien holdbacks are 10% of progress draws, held for 45 days after substantial completion. We configure this into Odoo's billing workflow from day one.
Edmonton contractors frequently purchase heavy equipment and specialty materials from US vendors. CAD/USD currency, cross-border POs, and customs documentation are configured as part of implementation.
