Software, integrations and automation for small businesses
Custom software, Odoo, WordPress and WooCommerce, Telegram bots, integrations and Linux servers — built and supported by people who run their own business on them. We work in writing and remotely, for businesses in the UK and beyond.
What we do
Custom software development
Tools built around how your business works: web apps, bots, plugins and scripts.
Odoo development & customisation
New modules, changes to existing apps, reports and automations, kept in modules so they can be carried over to the next version.
Integrations & APIs
Odoo and your other systems working together: Meta (WhatsApp), payment providers, marketplaces.
Automation & AI
Routine work done by the system: automated actions, scheduled jobs, AI drafts that a person approves.
Migration to Odoo Community

Support & maintenance
Fixes, updates and small changes after launch, in writing and remotely.

MTD VAT for Odoo
Coming soon.
No VAT is charged — we are not VAT-registered. If we become VAT-registered, VAT at the applicable rate will be added from that date.
We use what we build
- Odoo — our own subscription business: over 1,200 active subscriptions and nearly 800 customers. Renewals, customer wallets, payment reminders, support tickets and email campaigns run in one database.
- WordPress and WooCommerce — our own sites, and plugins we publish on WordPress.org.
- Telegram bots — customers check their account, get notifications and ask for support in our bot; a second bot runs our routine server tasks.
- Our own Linux servers — mail, bots and web services that we set up and look after ourselves.
What we build for clients, we use or test on our own systems first.
How we work
1. A written brief
You tell us what you need in writing, and we ask our questions the same way. We work in writing — no sales calls needed.
2. A fixed quote or a block of hours
A fixed price for a clearly defined job, or a package of hours at £85 an hour for open-ended work.
3. Built and tested on a copy
We develop and test on a copy of your database, never on your live system. You check the result before it goes live.
4. Yours to use, with support
You get full rights to use and change the code we write for you. After launch we support it in writing and remotely: Odoo Care £195 a month, or £85 an hour.
How pricing works
A fixed quote for a clearly defined job, or a block of hours at £85 an hour (10 hours £850, 20 hours £1,600). Typical jobs start from £170 for a change to Odoo.
Who we are
ProTech Labs is the software development arm of Pro Technologies Limited, a UK company in business since 2012. We run our own business on the systems we build and maintain: Odoo, WordPress and WooCommerce sites, Telegram bots and our own Linux servers. So we know not just the code, but how it works day to day: subscriptions, payments, customer support, email campaigns. We use the latest development tools, so we deliver faster without cutting corners. We stand behind what we build: every project comes with written documentation and support after launch.
