If you’re an MSP, chances are your tech stack has grown as organically (read: chaotically) as your client base.
If your tech stack looks like this:
- CRM in one tool (e.g., HubSpot, Zoho)
- Ticketing in another (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk)
- Time tracking on spreadsheets or in-house systems
- Billing through disconnected accounting platforms
Then you’ll probably be suffering from all of this:
- Manual data re-entry and human error
- Missed billables and revenue leakage
- Delayed invoicing and poor cash flow
- Limited visibility into overall performance
Many IT managed service providers hit the same wall as they scale: growing ticket volumes, missed billable hours, out-of-sync teams, and a lot of PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard) across the board.
In fact, industry research shows that nearly 70% of growing service companies struggle with inefficient processes due to tool fragmentation.
What if we told you there’s a way to bring all of that under one roof?
Choosing Odoo for MSPs, means choosing an all-in-one PSA (Professional Services Automation) platform that lets you ditch the chaos and run your service business with clarity, control, and cost-efficiency.
