Ordo Administrative Services : Sparrow Capital

Integrated Systems for Entrepreneurial Leaders

Ordo Administrative Services is an integrated administrative services engine in development by Sparrow Capital. When complete, Ordo will deliver core financial, software, and data management functions for entrepreneurial leaders in the Edmonton Region.

Ordo currently operates as an internal division of Sparrow Capital, providing administrative and accounting services for more than 20 companies and partnerships in the Sparrow portfolio.

Ordo is using this opportunity to develop its data architecture and a full suite of tools and protocols based on first principles and best practices. These solutions are currently being integrated by our software & systems development team into a full-scale Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system on the Odoo Open Source ERP Framework.

All of Ordo’s services and systems are being designed from the ground up to be adaptable to the needs of all kinds of entrepreneurial leaders; from cowork members, startups, and community organizations to growing businesses in complex industries.

Ubi non est ordo, ibi est confusio.

“Where there is no order, there is confusion.”

The Odoo Open Source ERP Framework

In 2023, Sparrow established a dedicated team to coordinate the integration of all Sparrow administrative and operational systems into a portfolio-wide enterprise resource planning (ERP) framework; and to utilize this opportunity to develop a comprehensive solution to the infernal enterprise software and systems integration problem.

After completing an extensive market scan of available ERP platforms and similar services, our development team was delighted to discover Odoo, a longstanding and thriving ERP framework built on an open-source platform—effectively WordPress for ERPs.

Ordo Administrative Services is currently implementing a full ERP build on the Odoo Framework. This configuration will support operations and administrative and accounting services for more than 20 companies and partnerships in the Sparrow network.

This is a trailblazing exercise. Sparrow’s initial build will allow entrepreneurial leaders—from cowork members, startups, and community organizations to growing businesses in complex industries—to easily implement enterprise-grade ERP tools and protocols at the very outset of their business deployments.
