We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey — Navabrind IT Solutions is now officially an Odoo Gold Partner.
This prestigious recognition places us in the top tier of Odoo partners globally and is a powerful testament to the expertise, consistency, and customer success we’ve demonstrated over the past decade. Earning Gold Partner status isn’t just a badge — it’s a validation of our deep technical knowledge, proven delivery excellence, and unwavering commitment to helping businesses digitally transform through the Odoo ERP platform.
In the rapidly evolving ERP landscape, the Gold Partner designation holds significance. It signals not only technical and functional proficiency but also close collaboration with the Odoo core team. Businesses evaluating ERP solutions can take confidence in knowing they are working with a partner that meets the highest standards of implementation capability, client satisfaction, and domain expertise. For companies navigating complex ERP transformations, choosing a Gold Partner often translates into shorter deployment timelines, smoother adoption, and greater long-term value.
Navabrind IT Solutions journey to Gold has been shaped by more than a decade of focused work in Odoo consulting, integration, data migration, customization, training, support, and implementation. From our early days delivering projects in India to supporting clients across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and most recently the United Kingdom, we’ve consistently expanded our capabilities and footprint. Our deep industry knowledge, particularly in manufacturing, logistics, electronics, retail, distribution, and healthcare, has enabled us to solve some of the most challenging ERP requirements at scale.
This Gold Partner status marks both a culmination of our efforts and the beginning of a new chapter — one where we bring even more innovation, speed, and strategic value to our clients across the globe.
Understanding the Odoo Partner Tiers
To maintain high implementation standards and ensure customer success, Odoo has established a structured partner ecosystem with three distinct tiers: Ready, Silver, and Gold. These tiers are designed to recognize partners based on their expertise, volume of successful implementations, and alignment with Odoo’s values and methodologies.
Odoo Partner Tiers Explained
- Ready Partner: This is the entry-level tier. Ready Partners have demonstrated an initial level of commitment to Odoo, typically handling small-scale implementations or working in niche domains. While they are familiar with the platform, they may still be building their expertise and delivery capacity.
- Silver Partner: Silver Partners are more experienced, having delivered multiple successful Odoo implementations. They are recognized for their technical and functional knowledge, and often provide both implementation and support services. Silver status is a marker of growing maturity and credibility within the Odoo ecosystem.
- Gold Partner: The highest tier, Gold Partners represent the top-performing and most trusted Odoo partners globally. Achieving this status means the partner has met Odoo’s most rigorous benchmarks for certification, quality, and client success. Gold Partners work closely with Odoo’s core team and have deep knowledge across the platform’s modules and industries.
What It Takes to Become a Gold Partner
Earning the Gold designation is not just about time or volume — it’s about consistent delivery excellence and customer satisfaction. To reach this level, a partner must meet several criteria:
- Certified Expertise: A minimum number of team members must be Odoo-certified, reflecting both technical and functional mastery of the platform.
- Implementation Volume: A proven track record of successful Odoo deployments across various industries and geographies.
- Customer Satisfaction: Positive client feedback, long-term engagements, and demonstrated ROI for customers.
- Business Alignment: Active engagement with Odoo SA, participation in Odoo events, and alignment with Odoo’s product roadmap and best practices.
- Support and Training: Capability to offer structured training, documentation, and ongoing support tailored to clients’ unique business needs.
Why Gold Partner Status Matters to Clients
For clients, partnering with an Odoo Gold Partner like Navabrind IT Solutions means gaining access to the highest level of assurance, capability, and responsiveness. Here’s what that translates to in practice:
- Accelerated Implementation: Gold Partners leverage proven frameworks and reusable assets to speed up go-lives and reduce time-to-value.
- Priority Support: Faster access to Odoo SA support channels, with direct escalation paths for critical issues.
- Deep Customization & Integration Skills: Ability to tailor Odoo to complex, industry-specific requirements — from manufacturing automation to omnichannel retail.
- Reduced Risk: A Gold Partner’s track record minimizes the risk of failed implementations, cost overruns, or misaligned solutions.
- Future-Readiness: Early access to Odoo beta features, upcoming modules, and insights into product direction — all of which benefit the client’s long-term roadmap.
In short, choosing a Gold Partner is a strategic decision that maximizes your investment in Odoo ERP and ensures a smoother, more impactful digital transformation journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.What benefits do I get from working with an Odoo Gold Partner?
Working with an Odoo Gold Partner offers a distinct advantage in terms of speed, quality, and strategic alignment. Gold Partners have direct, prioritized access to Odoo’s core technical and functional teams. This means that escalations, bug resolutions, and feature clarifications receive quicker turnaround times—often significantly reducing project bottlenecks. For businesses running time-sensitive ERP implementations, this level of support can be the difference between a smooth rollout and a delayed one.
Beyond support speed, Gold Partners bring certified and specialized expertise. Their teams undergo rigorous Odoo certification programs that ensure both technical developers and functional consultants are well-versed in every aspect of the platform—from configuration to custom development and integrations. These professionals bring deep knowledge of industry-specific requirements and can design workflows that fit seamlessly into the client’s business model, reducing rework and increasing adoption across departments.
Gold Partners have demonstrated a consistent track record of delivering successful Odoo implementations across geographies and industries. This experience translates into mature implementation frameworks, reusable accelerators, and best practices that help clients go live faster and at lower risk. Whether you’re a startup or a global enterprise, working with a Gold Partner ensures you’re not just buying software—you’re gaining a reliable digital transformation partner with the backing of Odoo’s trust and recognition.
2. How does Odoo Gold Partner differ from Silver or Ready tiers?
Odoo’s partner ecosystem is structured in three tiers: Ready, Silver, and Gold—each tier representing a different level of expertise, commitment, and performance. Ready Partners are typically newer entrants into the Odoo ecosystem. While they can deliver value on small to mid-sized projects, they may still be gaining experience or have fewer certified professionals. Silver Partners have shown consistent growth and involvement in Odoo projects, often backed by some level of certification and client references.
Gold Partners, by contrast, represent the highest level of recognition in the Odoo ecosystem. To achieve and maintain Gold status, a partner must meet stringent criteria including a minimum number of certified developers and consultants, successful project deliveries, customer satisfaction ratings, and overall project volume. They must also demonstrate strategic commitment to Odoo through thought leadership, industry-specific innovations, and investments in training and R&D. In essence, they’re not just implementers—they’re trusted ecosystem leaders with a proven ability to scale solutions.
For clients, this difference in tiers translates into tangible outcomes. Gold Partners are more likely to have dedicated support channels with Odoo, early access to new features, and experience handling complex customizations and integrations. When you engage a Gold Partner, you benefit from faster delivery cycles, better-quality configurations, and proactive guidance that anticipates business growth. While Silver and Ready partners may be a good fit for simpler use cases, businesses looking for scalability, global expansion, or multi-module implementation are better served by a Gold Partner’s capabilities and maturity.
3. Is choosing a Gold Partner necessary for my ERP success?
While it’s technically possible to implement Odoo ERP with a Ready or Silver Partner, the complexity and scale of your business needs should guide your decision. For small-scale, single-module projects with minimal customization, a Ready or Silver Partner might suffice. However, as your requirements grow to include multi-module implementations, third-party integrations, industry-specific workflows, or multi-country rollouts, the expertise of a Gold Partner becomes increasingly critical.
Gold Partners bring a depth of experience that goes beyond technical skills—they offer strategic advisory, implementation accelerators, and proven methodologies honed over dozens (or hundreds) of projects. Their strong partnership with Odoo S.A. enables them to access platform insights, direct escalation channels, and early updates on roadmap changes. This level of involvement is essential when businesses can’t afford missteps in deployment or lengthy delays in resolving issues. Simply put, Gold Partners can foresee risks that less experienced partners might miss—and they know how to mitigate them.
Choosing a Gold Partner often translates to long-term cost savings. Faster go-live timelines, reduced rework, and higher user adoption rates are all outcomes of mature project execution. Gold Partners also typically offer more robust post-implementation support and training, ensuring your teams remain empowered and your system continues to evolve with your business. For mid-sized to large enterprises, or for those in regulated or fast-paced industries, working with a Gold Partner isn’t just a wise choice—it’s often a strategic necessity.
4. What criteria must a company meet to become an Odoo Gold Partner?
Becoming an Odoo Gold Partner is not a simple badge of honor—it’s a reflection of consistent delivery excellence, deep platform knowledge, and strong client trust. To attain this status, a company must meet several rigorous benchmarks set by Odoo S.A. First, a partner must have a high number of certified Odoo consultants and developers across both functional and technical domains. These certifications ensure that the partner’s team has a solid grasp of Odoo’s modular architecture, configuration capabilities, and custom development standards.
In addition to certifications, Odoo closely evaluates the partner’s implementation track record. This includes the volume of completed projects, their complexity, and the breadth of modules implemented. Customer satisfaction is a major determinant—Odoo surveys clients to assess their experience, project outcomes, and support quality. Only those partners who consistently receive high ratings on these fronts are eligible for elevation to the Gold tier. Odoo also expects Gold Partners to stay actively engaged with the ecosystem through events, contributions, or solution accelerators.
Another key factor is the partner’s strategic alignment with Odoo. Gold Partners must demonstrate long-term commitment, often by investing in internal R&D, industry-specific solutions, and full-time Odoo-only delivery teams. Many also play a role in helping shape the future of the platform by providing feedback, beta testing new releases, or contributing to the Odoo community. Ultimately, the Gold Partner status is not just about size or revenue—it’s about trust, competency, and the ability to deliver business-critical ERP solutions at scale.
5. Which Odoo Gold Partners operate in [region/country]?
When businesses search for “Odoo Gold Partner in USA,” “UK,” “India,” or any other region, they’re not just seeking technical expertise—they’re looking for partners who understand regional market dynamics, compliance requirements, business culture, and language nuances. Proximity plays a vital role in successful ERP implementation, especially for enterprises with local teams that need on-ground support, timezone alignment, or in-person workshops. This is why Odoo’s partner ecosystem includes a diverse network of Gold Partners spread across major regions globally.
Odoo maintains an official Partner Locator on its website that enables businesses to filter partners by country, certification level (Ready, Silver, Gold), and even industry focus. For instance, in the USA, UK, and India, Navabrind IT Solutions, and others are some of the recognized Gold Partners with deep domain expertise.
Choosing a local Gold Partner gives businesses the added advantage of in-region delivery, localized compliance configurations, and the ability to collaborate in real time. It also simplifies post-go-live support and future scaling. Moreover, many of these partners also serve as global delivery centers, offering blended onshore-offshore models that combine cost-efficiency with expert support. So, whether you’re headquartered in London, New York, Dubai, or Mumbai, you can find a Gold Partner equipped to meet your geographic and operational needs.
6. Can I trust an Odoo Gold Partner for my industry (e.g., manufacturing, retail)?
Absolutely, and in fact, one of the key reasons for choosing an Odoo Gold Partner is their industry-specific expertise. These partners don’t just implement modules—they bring domain knowledge, prebuilt templates, process frameworks, and best practices honed from years of working within your vertical. Whether it’s manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare, automotive, or electronics, Gold Partners often build accelerators that drastically reduce implementation time while ensuring deep alignment with sector-specific needs.
For example, in manufacturing, Gold Partners typically provide integrations with shop floor equipment, barcode systems, BOM configurations, MRP, and quality control workflows. For retailers, Gold Partners bring omnichannel solutions that connect POS, inventory, e-commerce, and CRM into one unified system. Many offer demos showcasing how they helped similar businesses optimize operations, reduce costs, and scale through Odoo ERP.
Gold Partners invest in vertical R&D, building proprietary add-ons or enhancements that are not available out of the box. These could be industry-specific dashboards, reporting templates, or integrations with third-party tools such as CAD for manufacturing, payment gateways for retail, or EDI for logistics. Their ability to blend technical expertise with domain knowledge is what sets them apart. As a result, working with a Gold Partner significantly increases your chances of getting an ERP that not only works—but works the way your industry demands.
