Why Odoo is Disrupting the ERP Industry [We Don't Talk About Odoo]

Odoo has been a disrupter in the world of digital transformation, and they're no stranger to the dynamics of a family-oriented business. But, what does Odoo have in common with the famous Bruno Madrigal? Find out in this video with Kyler Cheatham, Global Marketing Director with Third Stage Consulting.

based on my 3 years experience in using ODOO in my company i can easily say: ODOO is excellent for my business

Thank you for the video - I only partially agree with Raphael's comments below. The good thing about ThirdStage Consulting is that You talk about Odoo vs the market that does not. You are a consulting company that speaks freely and honestly.

Not to mention that Odoo pricing is insanely good.

The speaker just kept repeating price and it being modular a number of times. Odoo is offering the modules like apps in a mobile and comes with its own challenges. I have seen several poor implementations where customers jumped in because they thought they were getting an ERP with features at the price. They ended up changing the system integrators and was later stuck with a less than ideal solution, time spent and cost.

Customers don't often understand the challenges of having an "open source" system which requires high level of expertise. The other thing was their forced upgrades in which the customer would lose a major module like accounting on the next version for which they had to subscribe.

Great and thank you for this wonderful presentation I have a question:
Can I resell the Odoo system to my clients under my brand as a SAAS?

You talk about Odoo just like if the product was limited to the company behind the 500 core modules. But Odoo is surrounded by 3000 open source modules from the Odoo Community Association (OCA) which have just as much quality (and also many more modules). Being open source, the main editor is actually just a small part (although the main one) of the "Odoo market". In many countries the only businesses running Odoo have no business relationship at all with Odoo SA, many of the largest cases rely on theses other open source modules and not Odoo SA. Hence talking about Odoo like if it was not open source and if it was limited only to the core Odoo SA company is an extremely limiting vision where you will encounter the same kind of business catches (like the 18 euros per month per 100 lines of custom code most companies have no idea about, like the partner mafia thing) from the traditional ERP industry while really the ecosystem is actually much wider.

In a word Odoo is way more disruptive than what you are presenting. It's like Linux is to the server market. Linux is not just Red hat, it's much larger than that.

I have been using Odoo for the last year and so far, I have not been able to find out where is the Queue for procurement ( if any ), after using SAP and dealing with BOM's from two levels to up to 10 levels and between few items to 5000 items, I think Odoo has potential for small companies not for a large-scale projects yet.

[fadhelrida]

What you have said in this video is truthful and indeed Odoo is a disrupter in the business software.

[sadek]

thanks for the insightful video 😊
been learning and training on this erp since couple of months, and many questions are striking my mind since then lol.

[tamjeanell]

Im new with the software...looking for it to help my procurement business for 2023

Odoo is a cheap and flexible ERP. Unformatunely does not have many important features in it. The manufacturing module is not suitable for process-type Industries.

odoo should target quickbooks customers and QB pro advisors. a huge oppty there as many customers are wayy past quickbooks capability but the next move is a huge jump in complexity and especially price for small/med businesses.

[anandmaurya]

I want to ask one thing, is odoo has a future??

[raphael]

To give you an idea: with all Odoo SA Enterprise modules installed, you might have 1000 to 1200 tables (installing all is stupid, but it gives an idea). While SAP S4 has ~100 000 tables and Microsoft AX something like ~10 000 tables. So one need no phD to understand out of the box Odoo is nowhere as complete as these kinds of ERPs. So saying Odoo SA standard offer is cheap doesn't mean much, this standard offer only run very small business. Now yes, completed with OCA modules, Odoo totally blows out products like SAP Business One, and it can even compete with Microsoft AX or even SAP S4 on some projects IF and only IF your project is led by very experienced OCA contributors knowing their way in that galaxy of 3000 extra modules and counting. But fundamentally Odoo is cheap and disruptive BECAUSE IT IS OPEN SOURCE, not because the main company Odoo SA took VC money to change the core license modules and kind of hijack the ecosystem reputation and tries to sell it as a proprietary ERP and makes marketing using this license money. Also, if you consider such large implementations like Third Stage Consulting targets, you will usually have may be 50 Odoo SA modules installed along with 300 OCA modules not authored by Odoo SA (and representing way more code). This is why I say talking about Odoo SA standard pricing is not something very relevant and presenting Odoo like this is doing a disservice to the target audience where they will end up burning money in marketing and sale commissions instead of hunting the right persons/companies that really deliver working ERP projects using the Odoo ecosystem.

[jillthomassian]

I completely disagree, I really liked your channel until I saw this. Odoo is the worse ERP I have ever seen in 25 years. Try to do anything. And by the way, pretty interface, so that is the only good thing I can say about it. Tell me how it can be all things to all people if you can take a customer deposit, but can't do a vendor deposit. Or can do a blanket PO, but not a blanket SO. I basically cannot recommend it to any customer or vendor, since one companies SO is another person's PO. You cannot do anything without an in house DB and Python programmer to completely rewrite the entire application. Also, just look at horrible the calendar, discuss project, any app, definitely horrific. Used to respect this channel.

I can't handle the vocal fry ... It's pathological.
