Let us to expose, some of the main advantages that Odoo offers compared to other ERPs and highlight how you can benefit.

What is special about this software?

Its origin is European, specifically in Belgium from the company Odoo S.A. which publishes modules, updates and new official versions (every 12 months).

Odoo is an open source ERP (global enterprise resource planning software) based on Python language that encourages collaboration between users and developers.
This gives the great advantage of constant growth, helping Odoo ERP to become more powerful and versatil thanks to his daily evolution, growing up by a constant improvements of official the user community (OCA) .
These improvements, in addition to the new applications, are tested and validated by the community and by official Odoo partners, guaranteeing the security and performance before offering the product to the public download. Later they have maintenance and updates by their developers to keep them safe and stable.

In addition, with Odoo we will avoid the common integrations between the different individual external applications by grouping them in a single one, modular and profitable solution, allowing you to choose and install official applications and those of the community (with more than 10,000 extra applications) that are easy to download and free, as if it were the Google Play Store..

Thanks to this, in the positioning map of the best-known ERPs and, comparing Odoo with Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo is above Dynamics in terms of usability and the learning curve of the program. It is also cheaper and offers features similar to Dynamics in the Enterprise versions of Odoo, staying close to the well-known SAP.
