Odoo Guatemala
FEL (Guatemala's e-invoicing regime), IGSS (social security), Bono 14 (mid-year bonus) and aguinaldo (13th-month pay). Localization isn't a detail for the end of the project: it determines whether the project is viable.
Guatemala has the largest business market in Central America and also one of the most demanding tax environments when it comes to electronic invoicing. An ERP that doesn't handle FEL from day one is useless.
FEL requirements and labor obligations change. Confirm the current regulations with the SAT or your advisor before defining scope and dates.
A tightly scoped phase 1 with electronic invoicing included, migration of catalogs and balances, role-based training and support through the first month-end close. After that, payroll, manufacturing or eCommerce, depending on business priorities. All our own development is versioned in Git and deployed through separate environments.
The full method is in Odoo implementation, and the comparison with other options in Odoo vs. SAP Business One.
Yes, through the corresponding localization, which issues documents through an authorized certifier and shows their status within the sales document itself. The implementation must also cover voids and credit notes linked to the original document.
Yes, with a payroll configuration adapted to Guatemalan law, including IGSS (Guatemala's social security institute) contributions and the annual benefits — Bono 14 (mid-year bonus) and aguinaldo (13th-month pay) — with provisions booked month by month instead of being calculated separately at payment time.
Between 10 and 18 weeks for a phase 1 that includes Sales, Inventory, Accounting and electronic invoicing. The range depends on the state of your current data and how quickly the process with the authorized certifier moves.
Yes. The work is remote, in Spanish and with minimal time difference, with regular follow-up meetings and deployment through Git. When the project calls for it, we schedule intensive working sessions with the client's team.
A 30-minute conversation is enough to know whether Odoo, automation or an integration will solve your problem — and what it would cost to do it right.
