What is Odoo ERP? 

The Total Guide to Odoo ERP 1

People ask what Odoo means. As an acronym, Odoo stands for OnDemand (SaaS) Offer from OpenERP, according to a reference to a 2009 blog post in an Odoo forum. Others think Odoo means On Demand Open Object. Odoo started in Belgium as TinyERP, then switched the name to OpenERP before choosing Odoo for its company and open-source ERP software.

Which Types of Businesses Use Odoo? 

Based on our Odoo review, Odoo is a reasonably good ERP solution for small businesses and some mid-sized companies that you should consider in your software evaluation. Odoo ERP can’t compete with pricey high-end systems like SAP or Oracle ERP.  

Businesses in many industries use Odoo software. 

Odoo ERP with apps fits:

  • Manufacturing companies
  • Distribution companies
  • Retailers, including online eCommerce and brick-and-mortar businesses
  • Companies with field service operations
  • R&D companies
  • Service companies
  • Marketing companies
  • Training companies
  • Consultants and Odoo Partners
  • IT companies with trained developers 
  • Accounting firms.

How Much Does Odoo Cost?

Odoo pricing plans are based on the number of users and Odoo apps selected for business needs. SaaS standard pricing for Odoo software for business management starts at $35 per month for 1 user annually or $28 per month before apps, with new customer discounts. Functional business applications comprising the ERP and CRM and Partner implementation services cost extra. An Odoo ERP free version is called Odoo Community edition. The Odoo ERP free, open-source solution is available through an Odoo download or Odoo GitHub.

 How Does AP Automation Software Integration Work With Odoo? 

Odoo ERP integration with AP automation software through either flat file or API integration provides a seamless connection through the Odoo login and user interface (UI). Tipalti AP automation add-on uses flat file integration. Tipalti automates the entire accounts payable workflow, beginning with time savings from self-service supplier onboarding to global mass payments and fraud reduction.
