Sound familiar?

Where the day-to-day gets stuck.

01

A project's real cost shows up at the end.

Materials, labor and subcontractors are booked weeks after the work, so you learn a site went over budget when it's too late to act.

02

Purchase requests come from every site.

Site engineers call or message the office for materials, the same order goes out twice, and nobody can say what was delivered to which project.

03

Progress billing is built in spreadsheets.

Each payment certificate means pulling quantities, percentages and retentions together by hand, and the client questions the numbers.

04

Rent invoices depend on someone remembering.

Leases sit in folders, rent increases and renewals are tracked in a spreadsheet, and a late payment gets noticed months later.

05

Owners want to know what their property earned.

If you manage units for their owners, each statement of rent, expenses and fees is put together by hand at the end of the month.

06

Maintenance requests get lost.

A tenant reports a leak by phone, the message goes to someone's mobile, and nobody can say who was sent or what it cost.

On Odoo

What we set up in Odoo.

We start from the standard Odoo apps, configure them to your process and add custom development only where the standard falls short.

Job costing per project

Every purchase, timesheet and subcontractor bill tagged to its project, with the budget and the actual cost side by side.

Purchasing & subcontractors

Requests from each site approved and turned into purchase orders, with deliveries and vendor bills matched to the project.

Progress & milestone billing

Invoices by milestone or by percentage of work done, drawn from the contract and the project.

Units, sales & leasing

Leads for buyers and tenants in one pipeline, with each unit's status, price and contract. We configure or build the unit records around your projects.

Recurring rent invoices

Rent invoiced on schedule from the lease, with reminders for overdue payments.

Owner statements

For managed properties, rent, expenses and fees per owner in a statement we set up for your business.

Maintenance requests

Tenants and staff log requests, a technician is assigned, and parts and hours are charged to the property.

Contracts & documents

Leases, sale contracts and site documents stored with the project or unit and signed online.

How it works

One record, from booking or budget to the books.

Rentals and building projects each follow one path through Odoo, with no retyping between teams.

Tag

Rentals

Each booking becomes invoices, accounting entries and the owner's statement.

Construction

Purchases and bills land on the project as they happen, against its budget.

Case study

Short-stay rentals, booked straight into the accounts.

01

Property manager · Short-stay rentals

A property manager runs short-stay rentals for apartments it manages on behalf of their owners. Each booking becomes the invoices, the accounting entries and the statement each owner receives. If you'd like to speak with this client, we can put you in touch and share references.

Questions

Questions we hear

If your question is not here, bring it to the call.

Does Odoo have a property management app?

Odoo doesn't have a dedicated property management app. Its standard apps cover much of the work: CRM for buyers and tenants, Subscriptions for recurring rent, Helpdesk or Field Service for maintenance, Sign and Documents for contracts, and accounting. The property-specific parts, such as units, leases and owner statements, we configure or develop for you on top of them.

Can Odoo track the cost of each construction project?

Yes. Each project has its own analytic account and budget, and every purchase, timesheet and subcontractor bill is tagged to it, so you can see budget against actual on any day.

Can we invoice by progress or milestone?

Yes. Invoices can follow the milestones in the contract or the percentage of work completed, from the same project that holds the costs.

Can Odoo rent out equipment?

Yes. The Rental app handles equipment you rent out, with pickup and return dates, availability and invoicing.

Do we need Odoo Enterprise?

For most real estate and construction setups, yes. Subscriptions, Rental, Sign, Documents, Helpdesk and Field Service are Enterprise apps, and project budgets are an Enterprise feature. Projects, purchasing and CRM are available in both editions.

Can it handle contracts in dollars and payments in lira?

Yes. Our own Lebanon localization keeps the books in USD and LBP, with exchange differences, VAT and parallel reporting.
