Implementation platforms

One objective. Four practical routes.

The right platform depends on the organisation’s processes, operating complexity, deployment needs, local requirements, available editions and budget.

ODOOIntegrated ERP

For growing, operationally complex businesses

A strong route when accounting must connect with sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, projects or multiple companies.

  • Requirements mapping and module selection
  • Configuration, workflow design and permitted customisation
  • Master-data and opening-balance migration
  • User roles, training, testing and controlled go-live

For cloud-first small and growing businesses

A practical route for organisations prioritising online accounting, invoicing, receivables, payables, banking, projects or connected applications.

  • Organisation and chart-of-accounts setup
  • Opening balances, customers, vendors and item migration
  • Multi-currency and workflow configuration where supported
  • Reports, user training and supported integrations
TALLYAccounting & inventory

For businesses standardising or extending Tally

Suitable where teams value familiar accounting workflows and need stronger setup, inventory, multi-currency, reporting or controlled data exchange.

  • Company, accounting and inventory configuration
  • Migration, opening-balance and master-data validation
  • TDL-based customisation after technical scoping
  • Import/export automation, reports and user support
BUSYAccounting & operations

For inventory-intensive SMEs and distributors

A route for billing, accounting, inventory, order processing and branch-oriented requirements within the product’s supported capabilities.

  • Company, users, accounts and inventory setup
  • Migration and opening-data validation

Implementation lifecycle

From requirement to controlled go-live.

Every engagement is scoped around the selected system, the quality of source data and the client team’s availability. No outcome is promised before requirements and evidence are reviewed.

01

Requirements & software fit

Map processes, users, entities, reports, controls and constraints before choosing the implementation route.

02

Solution blueprint

Define modules, chart of accounts, master data, responsibilities, approval points and delivery stages.

03

Setup & configuration

Configure the agreed company, finance, inventory, sales, purchase and operational workflows.

04

Migration & validation

Prepare, import and reconcile agreed masters, opening balances and historical data before acceptance.

05

Customisation & integration

Scope reports, automations, TDL work, APIs or other extensions within the selected platform’s capabilities.

06

Training, go-live & support

Test with users, document essential routines, control cutover and support adoption after launch.

The Navigo difference

Finance logic inside the implementation—not after it.

A system can be technically live and still produce unreliable balances, unclear ownership and difficult month-end reporting. Navigo connects system configuration with the underlying finance process.

  • Business processes translated into workable system flows
  • Accounting and operational teams aligned during design
  • Opening balances validated against agreed evidence
  • Controls and reporting considered before go-live

Controls designed into delivery

What we examine during implementation

Chart of accountsStructure, ownership and reporting use
Roles & approvalsAccess and responsibility boundaries
Inventory & costingMovement, valuation and production logic
Multi-currencyRates, postings and period-end review
Data migrationCompleteness, mapping and reconciliation
Month-end reportingEvidence, exceptions and closing routines

When to speak with Navigo

Clear business triggers for an implementation discussion.

New operation

A new company, factory, branch or business unit needs a controlled accounting and operating system.

System migration

Spreadsheets or a legacy setup no longer support the transaction volume, visibility or control required.

Stalled implementation

An earlier rollout is incomplete, poorly adopted or disconnected from finance and operational reality.

Growth complexity

More users, locations, currencies, inventory or entities are making the current setup difficult to manage.

Delivery sequence

A staged engagement with visible decision gates.

Scope, responsibilities, evidence and acceptance criteria are agreed before each material stage.

Discover

Understand the business, current system and desired outcomes.

Design

Agree the platform, blueprint, scope and responsibilities.

Configure

Build and customise the approved system workflows.

Validate

Test users, data, balances, reports and key scenarios.

Go live

Control cutover, training, handover and initial support.

SOP audit & updating

Keep written procedures aligned with actual operations.

Systems, roles and approval routes change over time. Navigo reviews whether existing SOPs still match the way work is performed, then scopes the updates required to make them practical, controlled and usable.

S1

SOP Audit & Gap Review

Review current SOP documents against actual workflows, system configuration, responsibilities, approvals and supporting evidence.

  • Identify outdated, missing or duplicated process steps
  • Compare documented roles with actual ownership
  • Review approval points, evidence and control gaps
  • Prepare a prioritised SOP findings and update register

Typical output: an agreed gap report showing what can remain, what requires correction and which procedures need full redesign.

S2

SOP Updating & Redesign

Update existing procedures around the approved business process and current ERP or accounting-system workflow.

  • Revise steps, responsibilities, approvals and evidence
  • Align procedures with current system screens and reports
  • Add document ownership, version control and review dates
  • Support approval, rollout and user familiarisation

Typical output: an approved and version-controlled SOP set. Where no usable SOP exists, a new-procedure development scope can be agreed separately.

Scope clarification: “SOP audit” means an operational review of procedure documents and their use. It is not a statutory audit, external assurance engagement or legal compliance opinion.

After implementation

Strengthen the finance operation as trust grows.

Once the system foundation is understood, Navigo can scope additional finance-process services without replacing the client’s existing team.

Common questions

What is decided before an implementation begins?

Does Navigo recommend the same platform to every business?

No. The recommendation depends on business processes, users, entities, inventory or production needs, reporting, local requirements, available licences, budget and growth plans.

Can every requirement be customised?

No. Configuration and customisation depend on the selected product, edition, licences, APIs and technical feasibility. Custom development is quoted only after a written scope and impact review.

Can historical data be migrated?

Migration can be scoped after reviewing source formats, data quality, required periods and reconciliation evidence. Historical data is not represented as successfully migrated until agreed validation tests pass.

What does an SOP audit cover?

It compares existing procedure documents with the current workflow, system configuration, roles, approvals and evidence. The output identifies what remains usable and what should be updated or redesigned. It is not a statutory financial audit or assurance opinion.

Does Navigo replace the existing accountant or finance team?

No. Implementation is designed with the client’s finance and operating teams. Additional controls or reconciliation support is scoped separately when needed.

Can Navigo support organisations across Africa?

Navigo serves businesses across Africa through remote or agreed hybrid delivery. Final scope depends on country requirements, platform availability, data arrangements and the practical needs of the engagement.

Start with the requirement

Discuss your ERP or accounting-system project.

Share the current system, business need and desired change. Navigo will use the initial discussion to clarify fit and identify the next practical step.
