What are the 13 key advantages of the Odoo ERP system compared to other ERP?
We are just highlighting the key advantages of Odoo ERP over any other ERP software’s available in the market, either for free or proprietary.
Below are the few core features Odoo which will attract everyone to use it.
- Odoo is an Open source ERP software.
- Cost – Odoo is significantly less expensive than any other ERP when it comes to the total cost of deployment plus the absence of any licensing fees. The cost difference itself is enough for most clients to decide against SAP.
- Customizations – Odoo can be customized extensively by any developer with a good grasp of Python (and a little JS for the POS UI). No SDK, no licenses, just a straightforward jump into the code. Other ERP software customizations are limited and expensive – as with many other proprietary systems. For a client with a lot of custom processes or need to link to local APIs, Other ERP software becomes problematic.

This certainly limits the uses of the platform.
