Founded in 2005 in Belgium, Odoo has become one of the most popular open-source ERP and business application suites. Its key strength lies in its modular design—over 40 official apps and thousands of community-developed modules cover nearly every business need. This includes CRM, sales, accounting, inventory, HR, marketing automation, and e-commerce, all integrated into a single platform.

Odoo’s open-source model makes it highly customizable, enabling companies to tailor workflows and add functionality at a lower cost compared to traditional ERP vendors. Its user-friendly interface and scalability make it appealing to both small businesses and larger enterprises. Odoo also offers cloud-hosted, on-premise, and enterprise editions, giving flexibility in deployment.

Clients span industries worldwide, including Toyota, Hyundai, WWF, and Danone, as well as many small and mid-sized companies. The platform’s large developer community further strengthens its ecosystem with continuous innovation and support. While competitors like NetSuite and SAP offer more enterprise depth, Odoo stands out for affordability, adaptability, and breadth of features.
