Odoo is utilized by companies in various sectors, including manufacturing and logistics, e-commerce, retail and wholesale, IT and communication, service operations, research and development, consultancy firms, service companies, real estate and construction, and recruitment agencies.

Odoo's flexible and customizable nature makes the system suitable for meeting the unique needs of a wide range of industries.

Odoo employs robust security protocols to ensure data integrity and protection online. This includes HTTPS, advanced access control, regular security updates and patches, as well as the option for additional security customization through third-party modules. Odoo also offers hosting solutions such as Odoo.sh, that further enhance security with automatic backups and disaster recovery plans.

Odoo's pricing is lower than many other ERP systems because it is open source. This means that developers worldwide can contribute to optimizing the system, resulting in much lower development costs than traditional systems.

If you use Odoo Enterprise, you pay an annual license fee based on the number of users. This pricing method also means that the price of Enterprise is low compared to other ERP systems, where you often buy predefined package solutions.

An Odoo subscription includes access to many different business apps, hosting on a scalable cloud infrastructure, daily backups, top-notch integration options, Odoo support (in English in basic functions), and maintenance with no hidden costs. Additionally, it provides access to updates and new versions of the platform.

You can start with a 30 days free trial here. 

We also recommend that you book a demo to see how the platform can be tailored to your specific business needs. Also, consider working with a certified Odoo partner to ensure a seamless implementation and customization.

Open source means that the source code is freely available to the public for use, modification, and distribution. In the context of Odoo, it means that developers have the freedom to customize the system and develop new features, contributing to rapid innovation and a wide range of available modules.

In Odoo, an app is a high-level component that includes many related modules within a business domain. A module is a smaller component that adds specific functionality to the system. Apps often represent a complete system within a business area, while modules can be seen as the building blocks of these apps.

Examples of apps in Odoo include Accounting, Website, Inventory, etc. Apps can be installed gradually as you need more features in Odoo.

Yes, Odoo's modular design allows for exactly that. You can start with the most critical apps for your business and gradually add more as your company grows and your needs evolve.

Absolutely. Odoo is known for its high degree of customization options. It can be customized through the development of custom modules, modification of existing modules, or by using Odoo Studio, Odoo's own app-builder.

The implementation time for Odoo varies depending on the complexity of the project and the extent of customization. Small to medium implementations can often become operational within a few weeks, while larger, more complex projects may take months.

Odoo is constantly evolving and releases a new updated version annually to introduce new features, enhancements, and security updates. This ensures that the platform remains modern, secure, and able to meet users' changing needs. However, fundamentally, Odoo remains the same system across versions, and you can continue using your current version even if a new one is released.

Yes, you certainly can. It's common practice in IT to regularly update systems, and eventually, you'll need to upgrade to a newer version of Odoo. If you have a subscription to Odoo Enterprise, the data upgrade to a new version is included in the subscription. However, you may need to pay for consulting assistance with the upgrade if you desire it.

We recommend upgrading at least every two years to fully leverage Odoo's capabilities. Additionally, upgrades become cheaper and easier the more frequently you perform them.

Data migration is an important part of switching systems. All master data, such as customer/supplier records, item numbers, etc., from the old system are simply exported into a CSV file, which is then imported into Odoo.

As an Odoo partner, FlexERP offers to assist in migrating data from old systems in a secure and efficient manner.

Yes, Odoo has strong integration capabilities and can be integrated with many other systems and platforms, either through direct integrations, APIs, or custom-developed modules.

That being said, one of the strengths of Odoo is that most other systems become redundant because Odoo offers so much. Included in the price of Odoo are apps for CRM, website, and e-commerce. Therefore, integration with other systems is often not necessary.
