What Therp does

Therp BV is a privately held Dutch IT consultancy specializing in the implementation, customization, and ongoing support of Odoo, the open-source all-in-one business application suite. Founded in 2010 (with Odoo expertise traced to 2009) and headquartered across Amsterdam, Amersfoort, and Groningen, the firm delivers end-to-end Odoo engagements spanning analysis, integration, configuration, data migration, custom development, upgrades, training, and post-implementation support. Therp also maintains an active open-source footprint as an Odoo Community Association (OCA) sponsor, publishing nearly 200 modules on the Odoo Apps store covering Dutch localization (CAMT.053 bank transaction handling for ABN-AMRO, Triodosbank, Rabobank, Van Lanschot; ICP reporting; horizontal balance reports; direct debits), CRM relationship extensions, and functional enhancements, and ranks highly on the international Odoo contributors list.

The firm's revenue model is anchored in professional services (quoted, project-based engagements for implementation, customization, migration, and training) supplemented by recurring support contracts that bundle security updates, daily backups, logfile monitoring, incident resolution, and cluster hours for larger clients. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise via field sales, with a self-serve helpdesk portal (helpdesk.therp.nl) functioning as a post-sale engagement channel and the Odoo Apps store acting as a global top-of-funnel marketplace. Therp targets a horizontal set of segments — wholesalers/shops/webshops, service providers, government, non-profits, production companies, and sports clubs — and serves a customer base that includes Fairphone, Mattmo, Friends of the Earth, Vluchtelingen Werk Nederland, Aectual, Jungle Gym, Bisdom van Breda, Human Company, Dutch Optical, Spin Pompen, Giraf Metaalbewerking, and Het Fort van Sjakoo.

Ownership and organizational structure: Therp is co-owned by Tom Blauwendraat (Tech Lead) and Gijs-Jan Otten (Consultant), who assumed ownership in early 2022 through a merger with Sunflower IT, their former Groningen-based competitor. The combined entity operates under the Therp brand and includes a Kenya-based joint venture, PyFlower (established 2016), providing international development capacity. No external institutional capital is present.
