9. Odoo ERP
Using Odoo ERP made us feel like having a fully customizable and versatile system at our fingertips.
From a technical perspective, Odoo’s open-source nature is a huge advantage. It allowed us to customize workflows, dashboards, and even the core functionality to meet our specific needs. The system is built on Python, and while we needed skilled developers to fine-tune some features, the customization options were nearly limitless. We run Odoo on a Linux-based environment, which we’ve found to be the most stable and efficient setup. While it can operate on Windows, Linux gave us better performance and community support, which is a significant bonus.
To get the best performance, we’ve had to ensure our hardware meets Odoo’s requirements. For smaller deployments with up to 10 users, a dual-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of storage are sufficient. However, as our operations expanded, we scaled up to a quad-core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 50 GB of storage to handle larger datasets and more users.
We felt that implementing the system was a complex process that required planning and technical expertise, especially when integrating third-party applications or customizing the source code. Its extensive functionality meant we had to invest time in training our team to use it effectively. Additionally, while the interface is user-friendly, we’ve occasionally experienced slowdowns when handling large data volumes, which can be frustrating.
