Odoo for Florida utilities and energy companies, before the storm.
Florida has dozens of municipal electric utilities and cooperatives, thousands of water systems, and one of the country's busiest solar markets. All of them plan around storm season.
We set up Odoo for Florida utilities, installers, and water operators, with crews trained in English and Spanish.

Odoo for Florida utilities and energy companies: three places it starts.
Each situation has a part that is setup and a part that needs its own scope. We keep the two apart, so you know what you are buying.
Storm restoration
- What it looks like
- After a hurricane, crews and contractors work around the clock. Labor, materials, and equipment hours are captured on paper, if at all.
- What we set up
- Work orders tagged to the event, materials issued from the yard by scan, and time by crew, so cost is recorded as it happens.
- What needs scoping
- Reimbursement documentation to the reimbursing agency's format, and mutual aid crew tracking.
A solar installer with a backlog
- What it looks like
- Sales outpace installation. Each job waits on a permit, an inspection, or a utility approval, and nobody has one list.
- What we set up
- Each job as a project with permit and approval steps, dates, documents, and an owner per step.
- What needs scoping
- Connections to permitting or utility portals, which depend on what each one offers.
A small water system
- What it looks like
- A small operator has a few staff, aging assets, and a regulator that wants records.
- What we set up
- Asset records, inspection and sampling schedules as recurring tasks, and work orders with history.
- What needs scoping
- Regulatory reports. The formats and the data required come from your regulator.

What is different about utility work in Florida.
Storm season shapes the year: preparation, restoration, and then the paperwork to recover the cost. Salt air and heat are hard on equipment, so maintenance history matters. Solar installation is busy, and permitting is local. Odoo records the work, the materials, and the dates, and reimbursement and regulatory formats come from the agencies involved.
We are not legal, tax, or regulatory advisers. Requirements come from your own advisers and regulators, and we configure the system to match.
How Parameter works with a Florida organization.
Local
Parameter is a Florida company with an office in Coral Gables. We work from our own office, and we come on site when a project needs it.
English and Spanish
Our team works in both languages. Workflow reviews, training, and written guides can be in the language your staff works in.
The first conversation is free
It can be a call, an email, or an in-person meeting. When Odoo is in scope, the Odoo Assessment follows with a written Preliminary Scope within 5 business days of that conversation.

Questions from Florida utilities and energy companies.
Can Odoo track costs for a single storm event?
Yes. An analytic tag for the event on work orders, time, materials, and bills gives one report of what it cost. What a reimbursing agency needs beyond that is scoped against its current rules.
Will you come out to our yard or plant?
Yes, when the project needs it. Seeing the storeroom and riding along on a job is often the fastest way to design the setup. Most build work is done from our office on a staging system.
Do you work with utilities and energy companies outside Miami?
Yes. Our office is in Coral Gables, and we work with organizations across Florida, in English and Spanish. The first conversation can be a call, an email, or an in-person meeting.
Do you host Odoo?
No. Odoo runs on Odoo Online, on Odoo.sh, or on your own server, and we help you choose. The choice depends mostly on whether you need custom code.
