With technological advancements happening at a rapid pace, no one can predict what our lives will look like in ten years. To keep up, your organization needs to continually adjust its way of working. Preparing your organization for the future means aligning all departments and processes perfectly. Think about inventory, purchasing, accounting, and finance.
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system helps automate and connect the most critical business processes. With the right ERP software, you create a better workflow, enabling your organization to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Odoo ERP Solution
Odoo is an ERP software package. Although this Belgian tech unicorn might not be widely known in the Netherlands, it is extensively used worldwide! With twelve million users globally and a partner network of around five thousand Odoo experts, the software is well-established.
In this blog, we provide seven reasons to choose Odoo software:
1. Odoo is fully customizable
An ERP system is built from various modules, each supporting a specific business process, like accounting, sales, inventory management, and HR. Odoo can be used as a complete software package or according to functional needs. This means you only implement the modules you need. Don’t want to use the CRM module? Just turn it off. For many businesses, this is ideal, as you can start small and gradually add more modules as needed.
2. Odoo is fully integrated
All modules of the ERP software work seamlessly together and share data. You don’t need to manually exchange information between systems. Enter data into the CRM module? It's instantly visible in the accounting module, for example. The modules ‘communicate’ independently with each other.
3. User-friendly interface
Odoo has a modern and user-friendly interface. The dashboard alone provides a clear overview of your company's critical information. The ERP solution is designed to be as simple and accessible as possible, with logical navigation, many automated functions, and extensive visual support. It's easy to find what you need, making Odoo suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
"Using Odoo is like using your favorite app on your phone. The interface is optimized for both desktop and mobile users."
4. Odoo is an Open Source System
Odoo's source code is available to everyone. This allows companies and developers to view, modify, and distribute the system without paying licensing fees. Want to expand functionalities? You can customize them to meet your company's needs.
5. Great value for money
Compared to other ERP solutions, Odoo is very affordable. You pay €37.40 per user per month for a personalized environment with access to all apps. These are the ERP costs when you configure the systems yourself.
Prefer to hire an Odoo expert? Choose guidance from an ERP implementation partner like Dynapps. Note that in this case, you'll need a significantly larger budget, covering not just the ERP software but also a thorough pre-analysis, implementation, and daily support.
6. Data Security is a priority
At Dynapps, we prioritize data security to ensure our customers' data is always protected. Our internal processes are set up according to ISO27001 standards, a globally recognized information security standard.
7. An active Odoo Community
Odoo has a large, international community contributing to the growth and improvement of the software. This community is very active on forums, sharing questions, ideas, tutorials, and guides to help users understand the software better. They also offer custom developments that complement the existing software.
