Make sure this doesn’t happen to you. The difference is whether a generalist or a specialist implements your ERP.

How each Explore session works.
One part of your business at a time: finance, stock, sales, production, service.
Your person shows Brad how it works today: 10 to 30 minutes at their desk, or a recorded video or voice notes, or their procedures and SOPs.
Each app owner answers a short set-up questionnaire and explains any business rules that aren’t on screen.
We build your three or four most important workflows in Odoo, with your own data.
You watch it working, with better options highlighted.
The owner signs it off. It is never asked again.
Why we ask you to pay for it.
The Explore Zone uses real time from our people and our AI. Asking for one month of your plan keeps it for businesses that are serious. Go ahead, and it is credited against your first month.
- Steps 1 to 4 Brad, your CORE report, the senior consultant meeting, the pricing session and the proof demonstration. All free.
- The Explore Zone One month of your plan, paid up front.
- You go ahead Credited against your first month.
What if we pause?
If you go quiet for 30 days, the Explore Zone closes and the credit expires. Coming back means a new Explore Zone at the current price.
Your side of the deal
Together, we make it work. Here’s your part.
- We’re an AI-first business, and we pass the savings and the faster time to value on to you. That works best when your team embraces the tools and uses them well. If you’d rather work the traditional way, we’ll happily price that for you.
- You pick a project sponsor and a budget holder to champion the project.
- You choose one coordinator to bring your people and dates together. In a smaller business, that can be your sponsor.
- Every app gets its own owner, the person who knows that part of your business inside out.
- Your people join their Explore sessions on time, each just 10 to 30 minutes, and act on Billy’s nudges, so nothing waits.
- You introduce us to your current technology suppliers, interface providers and anyone else holding data we need. We’ll give you a short request to send them, so they know what we need and that you’d like them to work with us.
- Your data comes to us in our ready-made templates, on the dates we agree together. Your team knows your data best, so they get it out and give it a clean. Want a hand? We’re happy to help, charged on time and materials. Bringing over your history is something we’ll cost separately, so you choose exactly what comes with you. Once it’s in Odoo, you give it a final check and the thumbs up.
- You make decisions within the agreed time. If one is still open, we go with Odoo’s proven standard setting, so you keep moving. Changing it later may cost extra.
- If we escalate something to your sponsor or leadership team, they aim to respond within one business day, so the project doesn’t stall.
- Your key users become your champions, training the wider team with our videos.
- Don’t underestimate change management. For bigger changes, it may need its own project running alongside ours. We’ll tell you early if we think it does.
- We’ll set out the environment and access we need, such as security clearance, network access, and your tills, card terminals and printers, and the dates we need them by. Agreeing our way of working is part of setting up the project.
- Momentum matters. If things go quiet for 30 days, the TRC Explore Zoneâ„¢ closes.
- We work remotely, which keeps your costs down. Want us on site? We’re glad to come, at a daily rate plus travel.
At the end, you decide.
You have a fixed monthly cost, reconciled against your full requirements, and a high-level scope, built from your own people’s input. Go or no go. If you go ahead, you sign, with your monthly cost frozen for 42 months, and run your business on it for six months, with the option to end at the end of the sixth month.*
