SMEs in wholesale and manufacturing know that ERP is no longer a luxury. It is the digital backbone of their business. However, the market is crowded: SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, NetSuite and open source alternatives make the choice difficult.
Therefore, the question is crucial: why choose Odoo over other ERP systems?
The answer: Odoo combines complete coverage, ease of use and affordability. Where others are too expensive or too complex, Odoo perfectly aligns with 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 seduced by big names, without ROI analysis.
• Choosing an ERP that is too heavy, resulting in it not being used.
• Choosing customization too quickly, 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: Wholesale
A wholesaler was using SAP Business One but encountered high maintenance costs and poor user-friendliness. Additionally, many processes were still running in parallel 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 was smooth, and maintenance costs decreased drastically.
Result: a fully operational system with ROI in 1 year, higher efficiency, and greater control over margins.
Case 2: Manufacturing Company
A manufacturing SME was working with Excel and disparate tools, resulting in a lack of real-time inventory visibility, planning errors, and slow accounting processes.
With Odoo MRP + Stock + Accounting, the company obtained one integrated system. Orders, inventory, and financial flows now run together automatically.
Result: 20% less inventory loss, real-time insight into production, and higher delivery reliability.
