Let’s get one thing straight: business software doesn’t have to be boring, and neither should the people behind it. If you’re here, chances are you’ve heard whispers—or maybe full-on proclamations—about Centrics, Sri Lanka’s very own Odoo Gold Partner. But what does that really mean? What’s the big deal about working with a company like Centrics?
Here’s the full scoop—served up with clarity, some edge, and zero corporate fluff.
First, Who—or What—is Centrics?
Centrics isn’t just another IT company waving the “digital transformation” flag. These folks are a special breed of ERP wizards who eat complex business problems for breakfast. Based in Sri Lanka and serving clients across borders, Centrics made it to Odoo Gold Partner status not by accident, but through some serious grind, razor-sharp strategy, and a knack for making enterprise tech actually work for people.
The team is lean, laser-focused, and deeply embedded in the Odoo ecosystem. They’re not trying to be everything to everyone. They do Odoo—and they do it really well.
What’s the Big Deal About “Gold Partner” Anyway?
In the world of Odoo, Gold Partner isn’t just a shiny badge you pin on your website. it's the highest level of partnership an Odoo implementation provider can achieve — and it’s only granted to providers that are proved to be big hitters when it comes to solving high-quality solutions, making big-ticket sales, and getting great feedback. # Gold Partners have been vetted, tested, and trusted by Odoo. They have a direct line to the heart of the Odoo team, preferential treatment, inside information, and technical resources that the bulk of their partners won’t. So when you’re dealing with Centrics, you’re dealing with someone who’s playing in the big leagues.
So What’s It Like to Work with Centrics?
Let’s talk real-world experience. Here’s what actually sets Centrics apart:
1. They Don't Just Deploy Odoo—They Architect It
Centrics doesn’t hand you a generic out-of-the-box setup and say “good luck.” They sit with you, break down your operations like puzzle pieces, and reconstruct them into a system that flows. It’s a collaborative process, where your input actually matters. Whether it’s supply chain, inventory, accounting, CRM, or manufacturing—Centrics translates your pain points into workflows that feel effortless.
2. Local Knowledge, Global Capability
Being based in Sri Lanka gives Centrics an edge. They understand the local business climate, the regulatory landscape, and the common bottlenecks that companies in this region face. But don’t box them in—they’ve successfully delivered projects across continents, adapting Odoo for companies in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.
So, yes—they're local, but they're playing on a global field.
3. No Bloat, No Buzzwords
You won’t get the usual consulting mumbo jumbo from these folks. Centrics keeps things clean and clear. They speak your language—whether you're in operations, finance, sales, or IT. Their approach is lean and pragmatic. They cut the bloat, ignore the unnecessary, and focus on what drives actual impact.
4. End-to-End Expertise
From requirements gathering to deployment to post-go-live support, Centrics is with you the whole way. They don’t ghost after the implementation. Their team handles training, optimization, support tickets, upgrades, and custom modules. Think of them as your long-haul ERP partner—not a hit-and-run vendor.
They also handle integrations with third-party apps and tailor modules when Odoo’s standard offering doesn’t quite hit the mark. You won’t have to duct-tape systems together. They handle it all.
