SMEs in wholesale and manufacturing know that ERP is no longer a luxury. It is the digital backbone of their business. But the market is crowded: SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, NetSuite, and open-source alternatives make the choice difficult.
Therefore, the question is crucial: why would you choose Odoo over other ERP systems?
The answer: Odoo combines comprehensive coverage, ease of use, and affordability. Where others are too expensive or too complex, Odoo perfectly meets the needs of SMEs.
Dynamics 365 BC is popular in Microsoft environments.
NetSuite is a cloud-first ERP, ideal for international scale-ups.
According to SoftwareConnect, there are several open source ERPs such as **ERPNext, Dolibarr, Metasfresh, and Tryton.

SAP Business One is strong in production and finance, but often cumbersome and costly.
• Being tempted by big names, without ROI analysis.
• Choosing an ERP that is too heavy, resulting in it not being used.
• Choosing too quickly for customisation, while standard Odoo apps already cover 80% of the needs.
• Not taking change management into account.
Tip: Always start with the processes that have the most impact (usually accounting, stock, or sales).
Practical examples
Case 1: Wholesaler
A wholesaler worked with SAP Business One but encountered high maintenance costs and low usability. Many processes were also still running in Excel, which caused errors and frustration.
Together with Rezolv, they switched to Odoo. Within 6 months, all core processes – sales, inventory, and invoicing – were integrated. Employee adoption went smoothly and maintenance costs decreased drastically.
Result: a fully operational system with ROI in 1 year, higher efficiency, and better control over margins.
Case 2: Production Company
A SMEs in production used Excel and separate tools. The result: no real-time visibility of inventory, errors in planning, and a slow accounting.
With Odoo MRP + Stock + Accounting, the company received one integrated system. Orders, inventory, and financial flows now automatically align.
Result: 20% less inventory loss, real-time insight into production, and higher delivery reliability.
