New Jersey: Rebuilt from Odoo 14 to 18
Incomplete code and a final database dump were reverse-engineered into a working real estate platform, preserving the prior business logic.
About New Jersey Developments
New Jersey Developments is an Egyptian real estate developer operating from New Cairo. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial, administrative, hospitality, and resort developments, with projects presented across New Cairo, the New Administrative Capital, Ain Sokhna, the North Coast, and other Egyptian destinations. The company’s operating environment connects projects, buildings, units, customers, contracts, installment schedules, collections, brokers, After Sales, Handover, Customer Experience, banking, and accounting across multiple group companies. These relationships must remain consistent throughout long real estate sales and payment cycles. NJD had previously implemented Odoo 14 through another provider, but the environment was not operational when Archer Solutions began the recovery. The available evidence consisted of incomplete source code and the last database dump, requiring Archer to reconstruct how the original workflows and data relationships were intended to operate before they could be converted into Odoo 18.
Business Challenges
- The inherited Odoo 14 implementation was non-operational, leaving NJD without a dependable system to continue its real estate, sales, payment, and accounting activity.
- Archer received incomplete code and a final database dump without a complete functional handover, requiring the team to reconstruct the system’s intended business logic from technical evidence.
- Projects, buildings, units, customers, contracts, installments, payments, cheques, commissions, banking, and accounting records had to retain their logical and financial relationships during conversion.
- The migration had to preserve a substantial operational history while excluding irrelevant technical chatter, attachments, rental records, broad CRM data, and construction workflow data.
- Financial accuracy required balanced accounting moves, preserved payment and reconciliation relationships, controlled rounding treatment, and independently verified customer and installment chains.
ERP Solution Delivered
Archer Solutions recovered New Jersey Developments’ non-operational Odoo 14 environment and converted its business data into Odoo 18 on Odoo.sh for 25 users across four companies and six projects. Working from incomplete code and the final database dump, the team reverse-engineered the workflow logic connecting customers, units, contracts, installments, payments, cheques, accounting, brokers, After Sales, Handover, and Customer Experience. The validated migration preserved 1,710 units, 39,015 installments, 49,606 payments, and the related sales and accounting history. Independent controls closed with 282 passes, no warnings or blockers, confirming balanced accounting and intact required installment chains before Production go-live in September 2026.
Implementation Approach
Archer Solutions delivered the recovery from February to September 2026. The work began with forensic analysis of the inherited Odoo 14 code and database, followed by semantic mapping of the workflows and relationships required by the unchanged Odoo 18 target. The team converted the complete approved real estate, sales, payment, and accounting history; applied tightly controlled data treatments; and verified the result through independent validation rather than relying on record counts alone. The accepted package moved through Local closure and successful Odoo.sh Staging import before the recovered system entered Production in September 2026. Training and go-live support accompanied the handover into live use. Client acceptance addressed operational readiness; the 282 independent validation gates provided separate technical evidence for the recovered data.
