Breaking Up Is Hard (Unless You’re Moving to Target Integration)
How to Migrate Away From Your Existing Odoo Partner Without Losing Your Mind (or Data)
At Target Integration, we’ve been seeing a recurring theme lately — and no, it’s not just “Odoo rescue missions” (though those are definitely trending). It’s customers showing up, slightly disheveled and definitely disappointed, needing help to break up with their current Odoo partner.
We get it. You signed up thinking this partner was “the one.” They sold you dreams of seamless ERP flows, automated bliss, and maybe even threw in some fancy dashboards. Fast forward a few months (or years), and you’re stuck with an overcomplicated setup, limited support, and worst of all — hosting done on a random server that Odoo HQ has probably never even heard of.
It’s time to move on. And we’re here to help make the switch smooth, secure, and decidedly drama-free.
The (Not-So-) Messy Middle: Migrating from Your Old Partner
Every time we step into one of these projects, the story’s the same:
“We’re stuck with our old partner.”
“We don’t know who has access to what.”
“We want out — but we don’t want to break the system.”
First of all, breathe. You’re not alone — and this isn’t our first rodeo. We’ve helped countless businesses jump ship and land safely in a better ERP ecosystem.
Whether you’re hosted on some obscure third-party server or on Odoo.sh, here’s how to get out, without the heartbreak.
If You’re Not Using Odoo.sh or Odoo SaaS (Odoo Online)
Let’s call this the “custom hosting situation.” It’s the trickier of the two – but not by much.
Here’s your game plan:
1. Ask your existing partner or hosting provider to provide SSH access to Target Integration. (Assuming they have used Linux as the operating system for your hosting server)
2. That’s it. No, really.
Once we have SSH access, our SysAdmin team swoops in, takes a full scan of the environment — files, database, third-party apps, custom modules — the whole nine yards. From there, we plan and execute the migration to our optimized, secure, and scalable hosting setup.
You don’t need to lift a finger (unless you’re forwarding the access credentials).
If You’re Already on Odoo.sh
Good news! This migration is so simple it almost feels like cheating.
All you need to do is:
Add Target Integration’s GitHub user ID to your Odoo.sh project and your GitHub repository. Don’t know how to do this? We have created a small step-by-step guide for you here.
That’s it. Done. You’ve just handed the keys over to a team that knows exactly what to do with them. We take care of the rest: environment setup, repo analysis, deployment workflows, app dependencies, CI/CD — you name it.
What You Get With Target Integration
✔️ A clear migration path
✔️ Secure handling of your environment and data
✔️ Zero downtime (whenever possible)
✔️ A team that knows Odoo inside out — no guesswork, no band-aid fixes
Final Thought: Don’t Let a Bad Partner Hold Your Business Hostage
If your current partner’s holding onto your Odoo project like a jealous ex, it’s time to cut the cord. You deserve transparency, modern hosting, responsive support, and a team that actually knows Odoo.
At Target Integration, we don’t just take over — we take you forward.
We’ve been repeatedly called the best Odoo partner in the UK for a reason — not just because we rescue projects, but because we rebuild trust.
