Founder
The all in one idea works well for us. Support through the official line can drag though.
Having sales, stock and accounting joined up has cut out a lot of double capturing.
None really.
Operations Manager, Sandton Digital
Loads of functionality for the price. Just go in knowing it is not plug and play, you need to invest in setup.
The price to functionality ratio is excellent.
Version upgrades can break customisations.
IT Manager
Our stock, sales and accounting finally live in one system and I can see the full picture instead of stitching reports together.
It is very customisable. With a decent partner you can shape it to how you actually work.
The setup is a proper project. Budget the time and probably a partner to get it right.

You can tailor it heavily to your own processes.
A few modules feel half finished.
Operations Manager, Tygerberg Services
It runs our manufacturing and our shop front off the same database. Took effort to get there but it was worth it.
The community and documentation are large so there is usually an answer out there when you get stuck.

Project Manager, Northgate Labs
We were juggling separate tools for sales, stock and invoicing. Odoo pulled all of it into one place and the modules actually talk to each other.
Everything is connected. A sale flows through to inventory and accounting without me re entering a thing.
Upgrading between versions can be a bit of a headache.

The value is hard to beat. You get a huge amount of functionality for what you pay.
There is a learning curve for staff, it is not something you just switch on and go.
Managing Director, Umhlanga Group
LinkedIn verifiedWe run most of the business on it now. Some modules are stronger than others but the core is solid.
You can tailor it heavily to your own processes.

Project Manager, Highveld Digital
LinkedIn verifiedIt can do almost anything, which is also the problem. Simple tasks can end up complicated.
When it is configured properly it is genuinely powerful.
Upgrades and customisations do not always play nicely together.
Founder, Silverline Holdings
It runs our manufacturing and our shop front off the same database. Took effort to get there but it was worth it.
You switch on only the modules you need and add more later, so it fits a small business and a bigger one.
Support really depends on your partner. The official channel can be slow.
