Odoo Online: The Simplicity

Odoo Online is SaaS (Software as a Service). In a few seconds, and a couple of clicks, your cloud instance will be ready to use anywhere and anytime. It even comes with a pre-configured email server!

The biggest benefit of Odoo Online is the simplicity: you’ll never have to worry about the technical aspects because Odoo takes care of everything. We monitor the platform 24/7 to make sure that you always benefit from top-notch performance and our team will make sure that your cloud platform scales as your company grows! Moreover, our support team provides unlimited bug fixing and security updates.

Odoo Online benefits from our cloud Service Level Agreement: we can guarantee 99.9% uptime (excluding planned maintenance).

​Every day, Odoo will do a full backup of your database(s) and they are replicated on at least 3 different machines in different continents. From the database control center, you can download any of your back-ups within the last 3 months. You own your data! You can also easily duplicate your production database for a temporary test environment that can be very useful during the implementation of new features.

Managing your databases is simple with Odoo Online

We also provide upgrades to the newest Odoo release for all the apps hosted on your Online instance.

On Odoo Online, you can install any certified app, also called the core apps. These are the apps that are developed, maintained, and upgraded by Odoo SA. One of the certified apps, Odoo Studio, will allow you to easily customize any view and any report, create new apps, or even perform automated actions (non code customization). However, installing third party apps or changing the source code is not allowed on Odoo Online for stability reasons.

All these extra services (hosting, maintenance, support, backups, upgrades) are included in the price of Odoo Enterprise. You control your costs, and you avoid bad surprises.

On-Premises: Limitless Possibilities

Odoo Enterprise can also be deployed on your own server if you want to set-up your whole hosting infrastructure.

We only recommend this option for customers with advanced technical knowledge as Odoo SA can’t provide any guarantee nor any Service Level Agreement regarding the robustness, performance, and scalability of your infrastructure.

We provide some recommendations in our technical documentation and if you’re looking for help, you can contact one of our partners that can help you with local deployments.

When hosting Odoo On-Premises, you’ll have to take care of a lot of technical aspects that can be crucial for the robustness and for the cost of your software installation. If you work with third-party provider, you should then make sure to know what’s included in your contract and what will be an extra cost.​​Here are the most important questions you should ask yourself:

• ​What is the service level agreement (guaranteed uptime) and how does it scale (when you add users, apps, or process more data)?
• What is the disaster recovery policy?
• How and when can I download my back-ups, and what is the data policy?
• What kind of test environment do you provide?
• Who is responsible for the maintenance and upgrades of third-party apps (Odoo SA is always responsible for the maintenance and upgrades of certified apps)?

When you use Odoo On-Premises, you have full control and autonomy of your installation. Therefore, you can use any apps: certified, from a third-party vendor, or even build a new one from scratch!

Odoo.sh: The Best of Both Worlds

Odoo.sh is a PaaS (Platform as a Service) managed by Odoo SA. Odoo.sh allows you to deploy your own cloud platform in a couple of clicks. It also comes with an email server.

Odoo.sh is made for customized Odoo implementations: you can easily install our certified apps as well as any third-party apps available on the Odoo apps store.
Moreover, you’ll find built-in tools that will help you to develop new apps and custom features such as:

• Integration with Github
• An online editor
• Continuous integration (your own “runbot”)
• A development and staging environment
• Branch management (track, fork, merge, etc…)
• Automated testing of every new commit
• And more

Odoo.sh gives you access to these tools

The platform is managed by Odoo SA, and we guarantee the same Service Level Agreement that we do for Odoo Online: 99.9% of uptime. We also do full, incremental backups of your production environment every day. These backups are kept on 3 distinct data centers, on different continents, allowing you to download any backups within the last 3 months.

Odoo.sh gives you the flexibility to choose the best deployment architecture (number of workers, storage, and number of staging environments) and lets you easily adjust your configuration as your needs evolve. The platform will scale as your company grows!

The platform gives you the best of both worlds: the deployment and maintenance convenience of Odoo Online combined with the freedom of Odoo On-Premises.

Migrating to Another Platform

Migrating from one platform to another one is always an option. Depending on the origin and the destination platform, the migration complexity will vary and Odoo SA offers it for free in some cases. If you want to discuss the complexity of the migration from one platform to another, you can contact us.

Quick​ and easy setup

Using Odoo On-Premises is also an option, but you have to make sure you know what you’re doing. If you want to use Odoo On-Premises with no technical knowledge, we strongly recommend that you contact one of our partners. Lastly, Odoo.sh is the best option if you’re looking for a customizable solution, with incredible tools for developers and without the hassle of system administration.

Odoo Enterprise apps can be hosted on 3 different platforms: Odoo Online, Odoo.sh (dedicated cloud), or On-Premises using your own infrastructure. Let’s compare the pros and cons of each platform to help you find the option that best suits the needs of your company.

Market yourself

Odoo has many Marketing tools. It is a complete solution on the market with Marketing Automation, Email Marketing, SEO, Content such as Website, Blogs, Survey, Events, Forum, … for Odoo 13, SMS Marketing, and Social Marketing join them but before we jump in those two, let me show you some of the improvements to Blogs and Events.

Do you know what’s critical about your content online? It has to look good. We don’t want our users to have to be designers to make something beautiful. We want it beautiful out of the box.

Our previous Blog feature was good; it worked, it has social media links, and everything you might need, but now? It looks fantastic, right there, when you create it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I hope you’ll agree with us.

​

What about Events? Your events deserve a page as amazing as your event is going to be.

​

That’s not all; we improved the look of everything, you can discover all of that yourself though, all our themes are now Open Source!

Now, how do you drive traffic to these beautiful new pages? With our new Social Marketing & SMS Marketing apps.

SMS lets you reach people anywhere, anytime. You can send SMS to abandoned carts, old leads, and people subscribed to an event, there are many cases were contacting people in their pocket is critical. Okay so, you increased traffic, but was it worth it? You can know all of that thanks to our analytic tools in SMS Marketing, Leads, Revenue, all of that will be no secrets to you. It is fully integrated with your accounting, of course.

​

What about engaging with your community? Social Marketing is there for that. With Social Marketing, you get a full overview of what people are saying about you, what people are saying about your industry, competitors, whatever you want to track all of that for every social media and as many accounts as you need.

Keeping track is good, but what about engaging with them? Well, create a new post, select where you want it to show up, schedule it, and that’s it, as easy as that. And just like with SMS, you can track the effect of those campaigns!

​​

Recruitment made easy

Recruiting is hard. You know it, everyone knows it. Finding the right candidate is like finding a needle in a haystack, so we thought, how can we make it easier? That is how we ended up developing our Referral app, referrals might not be your biggest source of recruitment leads, but it is probably your biggest source of hires. Many studies show that Referrals are the candidates most likely to be hired by a large margin, our new app lets your employees build a team of superheroes through referrals, and they get to enjoy rewards for taking an active part in finding the next talent of the company.

​

From recruitment to on-boarding

As you’ll be hiring plenty of people with your new referral app, you’ll need an easy way to process all of those new employees, that’s why we made a wholly automated onboarding plan, one click and everything is scheduled to happen, meetings, laptop, phone, whatever it may be, you can include it in the program, then whoever is in charge on each steps gets a notification and can

​

Introduction

Introducing ERP offers available today

In the last 15 years, new technologies have pushed enterprises both large and small to rethink their process management with respect to the new dynamics created by the changing business landscape. Implementing an ERP is a step many businesses are taking to help organize and optimize the way they do business.

There are many business software offerings currently available on the market, however, most are focused solely on the needs of large enterprises. This document aims to give you a good idea of the features offered by the main ERP solutions for SME’s, with an emphasis on cloud-based solutions.

A cloud-hosted ERP solution offers a number of advantages over a traditional ERP that is installed locally, many of which are especially relevant to small businesses. A cloud-based ERP is often more flexible and able to adapt to a growing and changing business. Most of the time, startup and maintenance costs are much lower as well because they are included in the license fee.

Feature Comparison

In order to offer a fair comparison, we have compiled a table of the most important features into ten categories: Sales, Customer Relationship Management, Accounting & Finance, Marketing, Warehouse Management, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Services & Projects, Human Resources, and Usability & Productivity.

These categories encompass almost everything an SME might need to manage, develop, and evolve its business operations. The three products analyzed have extra third-party apps, developed by partners. Both NetSuite and Odoo have a public app store. Microsoft Dynamics NAV however has no app store; you will have to contact each partner individually in order to get information about their extra modules. As these modules usually come at an additional cost (license fees and/or implementation service), we only reported features that are in the standard package within our analysis. We have also included a comprehensive list of the pricing conditions to better weigh the costs/benefits for each solution.

We will finalize this document with some observations on market trends and customer satisfaction as well as provide input on a more global solution for SME’s.

Choosing the Right Software

Whether you are outgrowing entry-level software or replacing a legacy system, choosing an ERP that is a good fit for your company can have a strong impact on your future growth and profitability. Because the cost of implementing an ERP is so high, demanding a great deal of time and input from employees across your organization as well as potentially significant software licensing and consulting fees, there is tremendous pressure to get it right the first time.

Despite these high stakes, most decision makers selecting and implementing ERP software will not do so more than a few times in their career. The purchasing relationship is therefore tilted in favor of the vendor, with many vendors requiring hours of qualification before revealing crucial details such as features and pricing. When dealing with vendors, it is, therefore, essential to accurately and completely communicate the needs of your organization to avoid finding out 6 months into an implementation that the project isn’t feasible or that unexpected and expensive custom development is required.

Cloud or On-Premises?

In recent years there has been a trend in business software towards a software as a service (SaaS) model. Most major business software vendors, ERP or otherwise, have begun offering their locally installed products in a cloud-hosted version to provide additional flexibility. When deploying a cloud-based software, there is no need for a local server or other network hardware as data is managed and processed on a secure off-site server which, depending on the size of the deployment, can significantly reduce the initial cost of a system. This can make a cloud solution a better choice for small and medium-size businesses with less capital.

User Interface

Usability, especially in enterprise software, is an often- overlooked but critically important aspect to consider during the purchasing process. Usability affects the efficiency of users working within the system, the ease with which the software can be implemented, and can reduce the costs associated with user errors.

Additionally, users who spend most of their working day using the system will appreciate software that is easy to use. This is especially true for shop floor control systems, as workers there may be in a loud environment, moving quickly, wearing PPE, or otherwise not optimally situated to use a traditional computer interface with a keyboard and mouse. The special design considerations of shop space or production line must be taken into consideration for any interface used there.

We have selected screenshots of analogous menus within each software to demonstrate the visual elements and interface options for each software in this comparison. While it is difficult to assess software usability with a static image, a rough comparison can be made. The additional information can only aid your analysis.

Conclusion

Many factors must be considered when choosing a manufacturing software. The complexity of the production workflow, the degree to which demand fluctuates, the lead times of production and procurement, the size of the organization, the growth rate of the business, the stock keeping needs, the complexity of the support operations in a plant. The list, as they say, goes on. You must make the decision based on your own superlative knowledge of your business while working closely with whichever vendor you choose.

“Above all, choosing the right ERP partner is Vital”

We did our best to make it objective and fair. If you find a mistake or a missing feature, please report it to info@Prixgen.com and we will update this document. Our goal is to have a continuously updated comparison of the main competitors to be as accurate as possible

Part of a customer-centric strategy is considering people as unique and aiming to delight them. By giving them the best possible experience across all channels, you’ll increase your chance to influence in their purchase decision journey.

Why is this important?
On the one hand, you increase the value and relevancy of your brand when you deliver the right message. On the other hand, you show your customers that you care about them.

One of the numerous ways to do this is by providing them additional products or services such as free gifts or even smart content.

As a software company, we at Odoo know how difficult it can be for customers to take a step into an environment they’re unfamiliar with. That’s why we’ve introduced onboarding in our CRM software, so users can quickly and easily understand all the essential bits, including the functions and how to organize their sales team. We provide them with comprehensive tools so they can set their goals, KPIs, organize their sales flow and much more.

This is an example of how to delight your customers with smart content, which is not just commercial content, but value added content your brand can provide to solve customers’ main pain points.

To create this kind of tool we had to know our customers. In addition to data collected using our analytics, we also interviewed some customers to better understand their needs.

Meet, talk and engage with your audience

“Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love” – Mother Teresa

It may be unusual to quote a saint when talking about marketing, but she’s right! We increased brand loyalty by creating regular events to engage with our audience.

Why is this important?
You give your company a human face and this allows your customer to connect more easily with your brand.

For a fun and convenient event, why not try hosting a business breakfast where people can learn while having a chat around a buffet. Here you combine an appealing factor (food, networking) and a nurturing element (insightful conference) around your brand. This kind of action helps you to gain more authority when delivering the insightful message. In other words, you have successfully built on your company’s expertise and gained trust as an influencer and a key source of information.

Another example is the event we organize every year for our community – the Odoo Experience. During three days of conferences, special events and workshops our customers, partners and anyone interested in Odoo all come together and have the opportunity to meet with us and each other. People come from all over the world to be a part of the event. We successfully bring together 2,000 professionnals and spread the word about Odoo with:

• 30k+ online viewers on Youtube

• 16k+ social engagements

Let the world know how happy your customers are

You first grabbed their attention when you attracted these strangers, then you have gained their trust when you successfully sold them the product or service they were looking for. Now, these happy customers will be more eager to be loyal to your brand and share their happiness, becoming the best brand ambassadors ever.

Why is this important?
Social validation is an important asset to trigger sales. Potential customers trust their relatives and, among other factors, Google uses social metrics to rank your website on SERPs.

You can help your customer spread the word about your brand by offering, for instance, free credits. Odoo has created a Google AdWords optimization tool called AdSpike. To reward existing users and increase the customer base, we offer to each user $25 in credits for every referred person. The user only has to share their performance report with pre-defined content.

As you can see, these examples are a perfect mix of digital incentives and real life actions. It’s always important to keep maintaining interaction with your user base or you risk losing it.
