The common use of a specific ERP system by large enterprices is no longer gives the impression of the system’s realibility and adaptability, in customer-centric business world. Many institutions have fallen into the trap, and the process of migrating to a modern and comprehensive solution has become costly, given the time and money spent on the outdated systems they use.
Odoo became, on the organization's selection list when it comes to choosing an ERP system alongside with other well-known options, and it seems as if Odoo pulled the rug out of naughty competitors, and the matter is due to simple reasons, which are as follows:
Cost of Ownership
It is a question that has a great impact on decision-makers in institutions. When I actually pay millions of riyals, what is the return on investment compared to the amount of investment that was pumped in order to obtain the ERP?
Odoo is killing the big boys in the resource planning systems industry. In exchange for more than 30 applications in various business functions, you receive a license price many times lower than competitors. There is no doubt when it comes to the amount of value that Odoo offers, and in return we find that you may have to pay more - using rocket science calculations - and more for a handful of applications that hardly cover your operations for the competitors.
Business Scope and ROI
More than 35 applications covering most functions and processes in today's organizations. Odoo is not limited to accountants, sales and purchasing people. Rather, it is a system full of life, where every part of your practical life has a place in Odoo. Traditional resource planning systems usually focus on only core functions such as finance, purchasing, sales, and logistics. In Odoo, the matter is different. Rather, what is related to marketing, interaction with the customer, event management, and e-commerce is included, in addition to a series of applications designed with extreme precision in managing services, manufacturing, products management, and fleets. The amount of added value in Odoo truly exceeds expectations!
Keeping Pace with Growth
It is customary, due to lack of resources, for organizations to replace ERP systems from time to time, especially when they expand. This is in order to improve its operations and compensate for the shortcomings that existed in previous systems. It is really strange that with all the time and money spent on the transition, there are no viable systems for the organization to grow with a fair ownership value. Either you will fall victim to cheap systems that claim to be resource planning systems - and there are many of them - or you will go broke buying an antiquated 80s system and may need another loan to customize it to make it fit the way you work.
The matter is different with Odoo, the cost of ownership is appropriate, high return on investment, commercial advantages and applications expand and diversify your business activities, and the thing is that it is clear that you do not need a nuclear physicist to make some changes to the system.
