About Heliconia

The Engineers Behind the Odoo

Heliconia Solutions is an engineering-led Odoo partner for businesses that need more than a standard ERP implementation. Founded in 2017 in Gujarat, India, with Odoo experience on the team since 2012, we implement, extend, migrate and integrate Odoo on Community and Enterprise, and build the storefronts, apps and integrations around it.

What Heliconia Solutions Does

Heliconia Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is an Odoo implementation and development company based in Vadodara and Rajkot, India, serving clients worldwide. We implement Odoo Community and Enterprise, build custom modules, migrate between versions and editions, integrate Odoo with the systems around it, and put modern web and mobile front ends on it: headless Odoo. We're an official Odoo Partner, a member and contributor of the Odoo Community Association, and the #1 OCA contributor in India.

When standard Odoo isn’t enough, we engineer what comes next. That is the whole positioning: an ERP partner whose default answer to an unusual workflow is architecture and code, not “the system doesn’t do that”. A foundry with heat-to-part traceability, a four-island retail group with fiscal POS, a physicians’ association with a Next.js portal and native apps, each ran into the edge of standard Odoo and kept going.

How we got here

14 Years of Odoo, 9 Years of Heliconia

Not a founding myth: the sequence of decisions that made us an engineering-led partner rather than a configuration shop.

  1. 2012 first Odoo work

    The team’s earliest Odoo projects, back when it was still called OpenERP. The habit of reading the framework, not just the settings, starts here.Odoo

  2. 2017 Heliconia Solutions founded

    Atul Makwana and Bhavesh Selarka set up Heliconia in Gujarat as an Odoo-first engineering company: implementation and custom development from day one, never one without the other.Company

  3. Both editions, honestly

    Enterprise where Odoo.sh and the packaged apps pay off (Jo Ann’s, Opsio, Freiburger Bund). Community where open source and custom work fit better (Hi-Tech Alloys, SLANGO). Migration between them assessed first, sold second.Community · Enterprise

  4. Headless Odoo

    Clients needed storefronts, portals and apps the Odoo website builder couldn’t give them. Odoo stayed the system of record. Next.js, React Native and Flutter went in front over GraphQL and REST. LittleQ, Freiburger Bund, Aria Jewellers, Ramdev Kangan, WaveContact.Engineering

  5. 2023: founders certified on Odoo 16

    Both co-founders passed the Odoo 16 Functional Certification in October 2023: the functional side of the practice, formally checked.Odoo S.A.

  6. 2025–2026: OCA member and contributor

    Odoo Community Association membership and contributions. Our modules follow OCA conventions and we're the #1 OCA contributor in India.Open source

  7. Today

    Odoo Partner, 9+ years in business, twenty documented projects across manufacturing, retail, finance, education, distribution, SaaS and civil society: most of them multi-year engagements.Now

What we do

Odoo First. The Software Around It Second.

Odoo is the primary identity. Everything else exists because Odoo clients needed it, and is built to the same engineering standard.

  • Odoo engineering services

    Implementation, consulting, development, customization, migration, integration and support, on Community and Enterprise, with headless Odoo and dedicated Odoo teams.

  • Software & digital engineering

    Custom software, web and mobile applications, eCommerce and headless storefronts, API integrations and automation, often for the same clients, around the same Odoo.

  • By industry

    Manufacturing, retail and eCommerce, finance, education, logistics, wholesale, SaaS and the public sector, each with its workflow and its named projects.

How we work

Six Things We Do Differently: Each With a Project Behind It

  • Engineering-led implementation

    Architecture and custom development are part of implementation from day one. Jo Ann’s: four island entities, fiscal POS, per-island payroll. Hi-Tech Alloys: a foundry ERP with heat-to-part traceability.

  • Both editions, honestly

    Enterprise for Jo Ann’s, Wild Cloud, Opsio, Freiburger Bund, Aria. Community for Hi-Tech Alloys, SLANGO, MEP Emart. We recommend the edition the workflow needs and assess migrations before selling them.

  • OCA and open source

    Member and contributor of the Odoo Community Association. Modules follow OCA conventions so another partner could maintain them.

  • Upgrade-conscious development

    Separate modules, no core modifications, and a test migration before the real one. That is how several ERP Happy clients moved from 17 to 18, and how Zealous took a heavily customised retail system from 16 to 18.

  • Headless Odoo

    Odoo behind Next.js, React Native and Flutter over GraphQL and REST. LittleQ’s storefront, Freiburger Bund’s portal and apps, Aria’s customer app, Ramdev Kangan’s catalog app.

  • Long-term partner

    Jo Ann’s 24+ months, Opsio 18+, iDT Labs 8+ years, Aria, Freiburger Bund, Hi-Tech Alloys and ERP Happy 12+, all still evolving under continuous enhancement.
