When it comes to ERP software products, there are a number of opportunities for companies nowadays. By reading the two most important ERP software, you get a fair idea of which one is best suited to your organization’s requirements. In this blog, we present the two best ERP software products, Odoo and SAP, that you can choose for your organization.

  • In its early days, SAP dominated the market for enterprise software with its ERP software products, but with the introduction of open source products to the ERP market its heyday was shortened. Speaking of open source products, OpenERP is a prime example, which was launched in 2008 and later became Odoo.
  • Odoo is a complete ERP solution that integrates key functions and enables the automation of core business functions. It is structured as software, which has a solid technical basis depending on the functionality. On the other hand, SAP has a modular structure with modules that handle certain functions and processes, and users can use modules according to their requirements.
  • SAP provides third-party integrations for accounting, payroll, time and attendance, cost management, business operations and point-of-sale platforms. SAP is geared towards larger companies and offers a simpler version for the mid-market. Odoo enables integration with payment portals, e-commerce applications, social media platforms, etc.
