Odoo

Odoo is a suite of business applications that share one platform. Companies pick the apps they need and add others later, so records stay in one place rather than being spread across separate tools.

What Odoo offers

• CRM and sales — tracks customers, leads and orders.
• Accounting and invoicing — handles financial records and billing.
• Inventory and manufacturing — manages stock and production.
• Project management — plans and follows work for teams.
• AI features — built-in assistance is offered across the apps.
• Community apps — a large developer community supplies extra modules.

Who it works with

Odoo says it serves micro firms of one to five staff, small firms, medium-sized companies and large organisations. Customers can use the hosted cloud, Odoo.sh, or run it on their own premises.
