For example, Odoo is a great solution when various application or processes don’t talk to each other, or for scaling up operations bring attached to extortionate software costs - typically seen with other ERPs on the market. Before moving to an ERP solution like Odoo, many smaller businesses have the challenge of a wide range of basic tools and manual processes they use to manage operations. 

These basic tools and manual processes can be time-consuming, prone to errors, and limited in terms of their capabilities. An ERP solution like Odoo can provide businesses with a more efficient and effective way to manage their operations by automating workflows and providing a single platform to manage all aspects of the business. 

Spreadsheets

Many businesses rely on spreadsheets - such as Microsoft Excel, to manage their finances, track sales and customer data, and manage inventory. 

Email and manual communication

Businesses may use email and other manual communication methods to manage customer relationships and sales activities.

Physical paper records

Some businesses may still use physical paper records to track finances, customer data, and inventory.

Basic accounting software

Accounting software, such as QuickBooks, are commonly used in the infant stage to manage finances.

Point-of-sale (POS) systems

Retail businesses may use POS systems to manage sales transactions, but may still use manual processes to manage other operations.

Taking spreadsheets and notebooks to the next level isn’t complicated – you just need to partner with the right team who can lead change, whilst helping you maintain business as usual. 

Taking up any new digital solution needs careful attention. A few wrong moves and you could waste hours or lose valuable data. But a few steps in the right direction creates efficiencies, removes errors and supports future growth.
