About Pledra

Engineers who fell for Odoo in 2012, and never left.

Pledra is an Odoo consultancy and engineering company. We help businesses automate and streamline their operations with solutions that are built to last, through a transparent and open partnership.

Our story

From one flagpole configurator to an international team.

Pledra grew out of hands-on engineering, not sales. That still shapes everything we do: we would rather show you working software than a slide about it.

20+Senior developers

  1. 2012

    It starts with OpenERP

    Paul Catinean discovers OpenERP, today's Odoo, and starts working as a freelance developer. His first client is Aluart, a Swiss flagpole manufacturer.

  2. Product Configurator

    A real problem becomes an open-source product

    Aluart's complex products lead to the Odoo Product Configurator, released as open source and adopted across the Odoo ecosystem.

  3. Pledra

    From freelancer to company

    Pledra is founded to take on larger implementations for manufacturers and retailers across Europe and the US. We join the Odoo Community Association.

  4. 2020

    Process meets engineering

    Alexandrina Niculescu joins as managing partner and brings over a decade of operations management from European banking.

  5. Today

    An international team, the same principles

    40+ developers, consultants and QA engineers. Infrastructure as code, AI-assisted engineering, and the same commitment to work that lasts.

Our values

What you can expect from us, every time

These aren't posters on a wall. They are the rules we use to decide how to estimate, build, test and operate your system.

Transparent by default

You see what we see: estimates, progress, code, infrastructure and costs. When something goes wrong, you hear it from us first, plainly.

Standard first, built to last

We adapt processes to standard Odoo before we adapt Odoo. Every customisation has to earn its place, so upgrades stay affordable and technical debt stays low.

Evidence over assumptions

We reproduce before we fix and measure before we claim. Code review and automated tests gate every change, and a silent failure counts as a bug.

Open source at heart

We are members of the Odoo Community Association and maintain the open-source Odoo Product Configurator. We build on the community's work and give back to it.

Partners for the long run

Many of our clients have worked with us for years. We would rather be the team you keep calling than the one you have to replace.

Automate what repeats

Infrastructure defined in git, backups that are tested by restoring them, reviewed deployments and our own AI-assisted code analysis. That way quality doesn't depend on someone remembering.

Ecosystem

Part of the Odoo community

We're an Odoo Ready Partner and a member of the Odoo Community Association (OCA). We build on the OCA's open-source modules and contribute our own work back.
