Track the work, bill it right, get paid on time
Law firms, IT companies, consultancies, and agencies all run on billable time and client relationships.
We build that on Odoo, so time tracking, invoicing, and project status live in one place instead of three.
—= Who this is for =—
You Only See the Margin After It's Gone
Time logged in one tool, expenses in another, invoices generated from a third. By the time a project's real profitability is worked out, the engagement is already finished and any overrun conversation is too late to matter.
Client Looks Different in Every System
Contracts, retainers, and one-off engagements are tracked in separate spreadsheets that never quite agree with each other.
Growing Past a Handful of Clients
Whether it's client matters, retainer accounts, or active support tickets, what worked with ten breaks down once you need real visibility across dozens, and staff without hiring someone just to manage the tracking.
—= What Odoo does for professional services =—
Built around billable work, not generic project management
Time tracking tied to billing
Hours logged against a client or matter flow straight into invoicing, no separate timesheet system to reconcile afterward
A won deal becomes a project in one step
A quote turns into a live project with tasks, budget, and team already attached, instead of a handover between sales and delivery that loses details along the way.
Client and project management together
Every engagement, contact, and document lives against the client record, not scattered across email and separate folders.
Retainers, fixed fees, and time and materials
Different billing models on different clients, handled properly instead of forced into one invoicing template.
Expense tracking against the right client
Costs incurred on a client's behalf get billed back accurately, not absorbed or forgotten.
Why eXcen for this
We understand billable-work businesses
We've configured Odoo for professional services clients in Bahrain, including firms where accurate time tracking and client billing are the core of the business, not an afterthought.
That's the level of detail this kind of setup needs to actually work.
—= FAQ =—
Yes.
Different billing models can run side by side, configured per client or per contract rather than forcing everything into one approach.
Yes.
Recurring retainer billing and project-based invoicing both run through the same client record, so you get a full picture of an account's value instead of piecing it together from two systems.
Yes, time tracking is available through Odoo's mobile access, so hours get logged as work happens, not reconstructed later.
We scope this during discovery.
Standard Odoo project and accounting modules cover a lot of it, and where something specific to your practice needs custom handling, that's development work we can add.
Odoo's accounting module handles invoicing directly, so time and expenses flow into invoices without a separate export or manual re-entry step.
Depends on client count, billing complexity, and how many people need access.
We'll give you a specific estimate after discovery.
Get billable time turning into invoices without the manual work.
A straight read on what this would actually involve, before anything is scoped.
