Odoo licence vs. implementation fee: what you're actually paying for

Two separate bills

When you set up Odoo through Smetools, you get two invoices, not one:

• The Odoo licence -- paid directly to Odoo, priced by users and the apps you turn on.
• Smetools's implementation fee -- for the work of configuring Odoo around how your business actually runs, training your team, and staying on through go-live.

Why we don't bundle them

Some implementers roll both into a single number. We don't, for one reason: it hides what you're actually paying for. If your Odoo licence cost goes up because you added users or a new app, that's a straightforward Odoo bill you can check yourself -- not a number buried inside an agency markup.

What the implementation fee actually covers

• A short discovery pass to learn how your business really works
• Configuration of the specific modules you need
• Training so your team uses the system instead of working around it
• Support through go-live and the weeks after
