Odoo: an all-in-one ERP for your SME

Too often, small business leaders waste time and money by using multiple software solutions, when there is a perfectly suited solution for growing SMEs: Odoo ERP, a unique platform to manage your business.

Tools that are no longer suited to the reality of growing SMEs


The reality of growing SMEs: they have often inherited, since their inception, an accumulation of software and monthly fees:

CRM and marketing, Accounting and billing, Web hosting, Online sales, HR, Customer support, Signatures, production and inventory management, not to mention endless Excel files...

What if we unified these processes?


This is when an ERP solution like Odoo comes into play: all these operations are centralized under a single invoice and a single platform, data flows, automations save time, and the user-friendly interface encourages cooperation and coordination among teams.

Frequently Asked Questions


The Odoo - Odoo Partner - SME Client Relationship Explained

The question that is most often asked: how do the roles of the Belgian company Odoo and the local Odoo implementation partner differ and share responsibilities in an integration project?

To understand the Odoo-implementation partner-client ecosystem, we offer you the analogy of the car...


Odoo Partner (like Gouvernord) = dealer, garage, driving school


  Let's set up your preferences (the air conditioning, autonomous driving systems, etc.): automations, data imports, configurations.

We give you the key to the vehicle: a robust documentation containing all the access and processes configured for you to own your technology.

Odoo = The factory

The car is manufactured in the factory (Odoo). If there is a software issue (technical defect, recall), it is Odoo that responds and manages it.


Interview

Next, the issue of maintenance: when there are oil changes, tire changes, or worn parts, it is the garage that replaces them. We are available, through managed service packages, to address any issues that may arise during use, and to perform annual updates to remain compatible with changing technologies.

Other frequently asked questions



Odoo is suitable for startups if they choose easier-to-use modules and limit customizations.

You can easily get a customized license, build your e-commerce website, manage appointments, handle events, CRM, and marketing suite (email marketing and social media), without getting into heavy configurations, and benefit by paying only a license fee of 448.80 USD for the first year, for all these services including web hosting.

We offer packages for startup businesses, with subsidized training for CRM, invoicing, email and social media marketing, projects, e-signature, and more.


First, the Odoo license covers the costs of Cloud hosting and access to all Odoo applications, which are maintained and updated by the Odoo company, based in Belgium. Odoo offers 24/7 support to its clients.

The implementation fees are the development costs, charged by the hour or as a flat rate, for the configuration work of Odoo partner companies like Gouvernord. Odoo allows for advanced data imports, customizations, and process automations that must be carried out by IT professionals to ensure their success.

In addition to the implementation costs, we recommend budgeting for annual maintenance and update fees to operate optimally.

No. It simply reflects the evolution of management software and the agility of Cloud solutions today. SAP and Microsoft are among the leading ERP solutions, and their pricing aligns with their prestige and the quality of their product, as well as their clientele, especially medium to large enterprises, which have a good IT budget and can afford these hefty licensing fees.

Odoo targets the SME market worldwide, and its price reflects that. Its competitive advantage over other products aimed at this clientele, such as Zoho and Quickbooks, is that it offers superior customizations and automations, accessible with professional implementation.

Odoo is available in two editions: Community and Enterprise.

The Community edition is open-source and free: it offers essential core modules (CRM, invoicing, sales, inventory, etc.) and must be hosted On-Premise, with hosting fees to be expected. It allows for total independence for the client with its technology, but does not provide the client with free official Odoo support. The client must ensure to update their applications themselves to remain compatible with new technologies in the medium and long term.

The Enterprise edition includes all advanced modules, premium applications (e.g., complete accounting, planning, advanced human resources, automations, marketing, etc.), a modernized interface, as well as regular updates and Odoo support. It requires a license per user but remains very affordable compared to traditional ERPs. For the majority of growing SMEs, the Enterprise edition is the most suitable, as it allows for rapid, secure, and sustained growth.

Odoo is open-source for its Community version, but there is an Enterprise version, with licensing fees, that is not open source.

  • Odoo Community is fully open-source: its code is public, modifiable, and freely reusable under the LGPL license.
  • Odoo Enterprise, on the other hand, is not open-source. It is a proprietary layer added to the Community core, which includes advanced modules, premium features, an enhanced interface, official support, and updates. The code for the Enterprise edition is not open and requires a paid license.
