Odoo
Awards Explained: How Odoo Recognizes Its Official Partners
The Odoo Awards recognize specific contributors and partners
within Odoo's global community. They give a helpful overview of the partner
ecosystem, and the 2026 MENA categories give a particular illustration of the
structure of the program.
How Odoo
selected the 2026 nominees
Odoo’s
announcement identifies three areas used to select this year’s nominees:
Customer retention: whether customers remain within the
Odoo ecosystem.
New Odoo Enterprise user growth: growth in the number of new Enterprise
users associated with the partner.
Odoo certification achievements: progress in current Odoo certifications
across the partner team.
These categories
cover customer continuity, commercial growth and certified product knowledge.
A nomination
also does not reveal the details behind each score. Buyers should still ask a
prospective partner for relevant references, delivery-team information and a
clear plan for their own project.
Best Partner
MENA and Best Starter MENA in 2026
The 2026
announcement lists two MENA categories.
Best Partner MENA nominees are Advicts, Digital Harbor,
Kamah Tech, Odolution Private Limited and Odootec.
Best Starter MENA nominees are Con Sys, Fidobe Solutions LLC and
Odify.
Odoo presents
these as separate awards, but the nominee article does not set out the current
eligibility thresholds or detailed scoring differences between them. That makes
it safer to use the official category names without assigning unsupported
definitions.
What an Odoo
Award nomination means for prospective customers
Customer
retention matters because an ERP relationship continues after go-live. New
Enterprise user growth indicates that the partner is bringing organizations and
users onto the paid platform. Certification achievements show investment in
product knowledge across current Odoo versions.
Together, these
points provide relevant third-party context. They are stronger than an
unsupported “leading partner” claim because the nomination and criteria can be
checked on Odoo’s website.
What an Odoo
Award nomination does not prove
No award
nomination can tell a buyer whether a partner is the right choice for every
company, industry or project.
An award
nomination is not the only factor to convince a buyer that it is the right
partner for the company.
No award proves
whether the consultants have implemented the promised results or are capable of
handling difficult migrations. The practical approach is to treat the
nomination as one verified trust signal, then test project fit with evidence.
How to assess
an Odoo partner beyond awards
Ask for
comparable project evidence
Request
references that resemble your situation in company size, industry, Odoo
applications, country requirements and technical complexity. A relevant
reference is more useful than a long list of unrelated logos.
Ask what was
delivered, which constraints affected the project, and what happened after
go-live. Where confidentiality allows, speak with a client decision-maker
rather than relying only on a written testimonial.
Meet the
proposed delivery team
Partner status
belongs to the company, but people deliver the work. Meet the functional lead,
technical lead and project owner who would be assigned to your account.
Confirm their
roles, availability, certifications and experience with the modules you need.
Ask who owns decisions, who approves scope changes and who handles escalation
when a milestone is at risk.
Review scope,
customization and ownership
A good proposal
should separate standard Odoo configuration, process changes, integrations and
custom development. More custom code is not automatically better. Every custom
module adds testing, maintenance and upgrade considerations.
Check the
assumptions, exclusions, acceptance criteria and change-request process. The
contract should also explain ownership and handover of code, data,
documentation, repositories and credentials.
Examine
post-launch support
Go-live is the
start of day-to-day use. Evaluate and understand how the assigned partner
handles the backlog and everything that is important while implementing Odoo.
Mostly focus on how support requests are prioritized and evaluated further,
what is covered in the support agreement, and how emergencies are handled.
For a detailed
checklist, you are suggested to read.
Odoo has
scheduled the 2026 Partner Awards for 26
September 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Brussels time, during Odoo
Experience.
Until Odoo
announces the result, Odolution should be described as a Best Partner MENA nominee or shortlisted
partner, not as the category winner.
The nomination
gives prospective clients another verified reason to include Odolution in their
evaluation. The next step is to compare the evidence, team and delivery
approach against the needs of the project. To review a specific implementation
or support requirement, discuss your Odoo
requirements with Odolution.
Odolution’s
2026 Best Partner MENA nomination
The Odoo Awards
recognize companies and individuals within Odoo’s partner and contributor
community. In its official 2026 announcement, Odoo lists separate regional
categories, including Best Partner MENA and Best Starter MENA.
Odolution has
been shortlisted as one of the five companies for Best Partner MENA in 2026.
For many, it's just a nomination, not actually a win; however, the distinction
matters. Odoo will confirm the winner at the September ceremony.
The shortlist
is still meaningful because Odoo publishes the nominees and names the three
selection signals used for the 2026 awards. That gives prospective customers a
first-party source they can check directly.
