QuickBooks → Odoo Migration
Businesses outgrow QuickBooks when they need manufacturing, inventory valuation, or multi-company accounting that QuickBooks doesn't offer. ERPPlugs extracts your QuickBooks data via the Intuit API (Online) or IIF/QBW export (Desktop), transforms it to Odoo's account structure, and loads it with opening balances. The parallel-run period lets your team validate Odoo reports against QuickBooks before you cut over.
ERPPlugs migrates data from QuickBooks Online or Desktop to Odoo — chart of accounts, customer and vendor records, product catalogs, open invoices and bills, journal entries, and optionally historical transactions. Typical migrations complete in 5–7 business days with a parallel-run validation period.

How It Works
Assessment
We review your QuickBooks data — volume, complexity, custom fields, and compliance requirements.
Mapping & Extraction
Data is extracted from QuickBooks and mapped to Odoo's structure with your team's input on any custom rules.
Parallel Run
Both systems run side by side. Your team validates balances, reports, and workflows in Odoo against QuickBooks.
Cutover
Once validated, QuickBooks is retired and Odoo becomes the system of record.
