What it is

A separate ITSM application on Odoo Enterprise

  • A custom module on Odoo Enterprise, separate from Odoo's standard Helpdesk app, with its own menus, stages and security groups
  • Replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one database where tickets, problems, changes and assets are linked
  • Requires Odoo Enterprise
Ticket lifecycle

From first request to lessons learned

Six connected steps take work from intake to review, all in one database.

  1. Step 1: Ticket intake

    Requests and incidents raised by portal, email or direct entry, with auto-generated references, priority from an impact-by-urgency matrix, and an SLA matched automatically.

  2. Step 2: Assignment and resolution

    Tickets routed to teams by manual, round-robin or balanced assignment; Kanban pipeline; On Hold pauses the SLA clock.

  3. Step 3: Problem management

    Recurring incidents raised as problems with a root-cause pipeline.

  4. Step 4: Known errors and knowledge base

    A documented workaround creates a knowledge-base article linked to the problem.

  5. Step 5: Change and CAB approval

    Standard, normal and emergency changes. Higher-risk changes require CAB approval before implementation.

  6. Step 6: Post-implementation review

    Outcome recorded (successful, partial, failed, rolled back) and linked to the originating problem and tickets.

How we implement this

Deployed in stages, typically starting with tickets, SLAs and knowledge base, then changes and CMDB. Steps: discovery, design, migrate and build, training, go-live and support.

ITSM and helpdesk questions

Is this Odoo's standard Helpdesk app?

No. It is a separate ITSM application on Odoo Enterprise with its own menus, stages and security groups. It can run alongside the standard Helpdesk app.

Do we need Odoo Enterprise?

Yes, it runs on Odoo Enterprise.

How does change approval work?

Changes flagged as higher risk, and emergency changes, need CAB approval before implementation can start. Approvals are recorded with who, when and why.

Does the SLA clock pause?

Yes. Moving a ticket to On Hold pauses the SLA clock, and the pause history is auditable.

What happens when a problem is marked a known error?

If a workaround is documented, a knowledge-base article is created and linked to the problem.

Can we migrate existing tickets and assets?

Yes. Existing tickets and asset inventory can be imported during the build stage.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

It depends on ticket volume, CMDB complexity, integrations and configuration. We scope both after discovery.
