We’re thrilled to see Odoo recognised around the world as a top business management software/ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution for small to medium businesses! We work with Odoo’s business management software suite specifically because we are that passionate about this open source software and its power to transform operations.

Open source does not mean free
We don’t mean to be cheeky!
While it’s true that many open source software providers offer a free version for businesses to test and get started with, open source software is defined as software created with source code that is made freely available for modification and redistribution.
The free version of Odoo (Community Edition) is robust, but many features important to small businesses can only be accessed by purchasing the paid Enterprise version. We recommend either the Community or Enterprise Odoo software version based on what matters most: your business goals.
