Different solutions,
Different needs

User Interface

To implement an ERP successfully and to enable the employees to work efficiently, user experience is of fundamental importance:
  • Odoo: Has an appealing design, pleasant to the eyes, clear and efficient minimising the time needed to acquire the skill needed to work on it. Simple navigation means that the employees can use the system quickly after starting work, hence improving productivity.
  • SAP Business One: Mostly, feature rich but SAP’s interface is rather involved and training is very often prerequisite to its judicious application. But its features are very powerful and meant for those enterprises that have specialized research teams out of the IT dept.
  • To finish with, the very ease and straightforwardness of Odoo is attractive to SMEs, on the other side, SAP Business One’s sophisticated interface caters to enterprise level needs and allows growth in the future.
