Common questions

What does an Odoo implementation cost?

There is no useful single number, because the same module list costs very differently depending on your situation. The factors that move a quote most: how many users need licences, how many modules are in scope, how clean your existing data is, how much custom development sits beyond standard configuration, how many legal entities or branches you run, and which third-party systems have to connect. We scope those before quoting rather than after.

Odoo or ERPNext?

Both are open-source ERPs that cover similar ground. Odoo has a wider module range, a larger app ecosystem and stronger commercial backing. ERPNext has no per-user licence cost, which changes the economics at higher headcount. The honest answer depends on your user count, which modules you need and how much you want to customise. We implement both, so we have no reason to push you either way.

Community or Enterprise?

Community is free and covers a great deal. Enterprise adds licensed modules, official support and the hosted option, at a per-user cost that compounds as you grow. Teams often start on Enterprise for speed and later reconsider once the licence line becomes material. It is worth deciding deliberately at the start, because moving between them later is a project in itself.

How long does an implementation take?

A focused first phase covering finance and one or two operational areas is usually a matter of weeks. A multi-entity rollout across manufacturing, inventory, HR and sales runs considerably longer. The timeline is driven far more by scope and data condition than by the software.

Our Odoo implementation stalled. Can it be recovered?

Usually, yes. The pattern is recognisable: people have drifted back to spreadsheets, reports nobody trusts, a module half-configured and quietly abandoned. We start by assessing what is actually in the system and what the business really needs, then decide what to keep, fix or rebuild. That is normally cheaper than starting again.
