Odoo Customization in Malaysia

Is Customizing Your Odoo ERP Worth It for Malaysian Businesses?

Discover when Odoo customization truly pays off — streamline operations, stay compliant with Malaysian regulations, and build a system that grows with you.

Tailored for local workflows & compliance – from e-Invoicing (LHDN) to SST.
Risk-free, step-by-step approach – configure, test, then customize safely.
Scalable solutions – systems that grow with your business, not “one-size-fits-all.”

When Does Odoo Customization Make Sense?

Customizing Odoo isn’t about adding flashy features — it’s about removing friction.

When your team spends hours on manual stock checks, invoice reconciliation or SST reports outside the system, customization bridges those gaps.

It’s worth it when it saves real man-hours, reduces compliance risks and connects departments seamlessly.

Common Concerns — and How We Keep You Safe

Odoo customization is powerful when done right. We follow best practices to keep your system stable and upgrade-safe.

Will customizations break future updates?

We build isolated modules without touching Odoo core, keeping your system upgrade-safe.

Is support available for custom modules?

Yes — we maintain version-controlled repos and provide update support with each Odoo release.

Can customizations fit future needs?

Every module is modular and scalable, so you can extend or roll back as your business evolves.

Understanding Customization Costs — and When You Can DIY

The cost of customization depends on workflow complexity, integrations and compliance requirements — not just “number of screens.” Small tweaks take hours; automating multi-company flows can take weeks.

Common Questions About Odoo Customization

Will customizations break updates?

No — we build separate modules that stay upgrade-safe.

How long does customization take?

Simple tweaks in days; complex flows in 2–6 weeks.

When is Odoo Studio enough?

For adding fields or views — not for automations or API integrations.

Who maintains my modules?

Up Store keeps them versioned & maintained with future releases.

How often should we review customizations?

At least once per Odoo version or when processes change.

Do I need a clear specification to start?

If you have an idea of what you want to develop but don't have a clear specification, the best is to discuss that in a meeting together. Plan your meeting here: https://www.odoo.com/book/developers

Once we have understood your needs, we'll write a proposition of specification for you. We do that for free, for you to test our service.

How to write a good specification?

A good specification includes:
Explanation of the business needs: which industry? why you need that?
Details of how/what you would like to be developed
The business need is just a few paragraphs to help developers understand the context, and why you need that.It helps us to challenge the business need and find cheaper technical alternatives, if possible. From 2 to 5 paragraphsis enough.

The details of what should be developed should ideally be:
annotated screenshots for simple devs (e.g. using https://flameshot.org/ )
mockups for advanced developments (e.g. using https://excalidraw.com/ )
technical documents if you have expertise

How are custom developments maintained in the future?

We offer a maintenance contract at RM80 / 100 lines of custom code / month that covers unlimited support, bugfixes and upgrades of version. This maintenance contract is mandatory for customers working directly with Odoo as we want to avoid bad surprises for customers, or companies getting stuck on old versions because of upgrade costs.

But the maintenance contract is optional for partners, or customers of partners. Partners can offer their own maintenance service at their own price, or no maintenance at all. (not recommended as ultimately someone will have to pay the price of a bug to fix, or an upgrade: and it's often an angry customer at that time).

To get the exact number of lines of code in your project, you can ask us, or use the "odoo-bin cloc" command.(as we exclude comments, empty lines, ...)
