Why Odoo Enterprise for Business

Within a short span of time, Odoo carved a niche of being the most trusted application among the ERP solution seekers. It has become undoubtedly the most reliant business management tool for any industry domain. The fundamental objective of the open source ERP is to make it feasible for all industries, no matter what their industry size or industry domains are. Earlier when proprietary ERP’s remained elite to high business groups, Odoo remained robust in fulfilling the needs of both SME’S and larger enterprises. Odoo always remained scalar, growing alongside the business trajectory.

The consistent upgrades alongside the flexibility to fit in any domains makes Odoo distinct from others. With each version release, the open-source ERP is expanding its functional ends making it a more compulsive choice among the ERP solution seekers. With the latest release, Odoo v 12, the compulsion is all more tightened, expanding its popularity and significance.

Dating back to the history of Odoo, initially, the software took flight with a single edition i.e. the open-source (Community). However, in 2015 when Odoo v9 got released, the open-source introduced the business community with their licensed edition. The edition came up with extra proprietary apps, taking the form — Odoo Enterprise. The new edition came up with additional modules for extra charges. From then on, the contrasts between the two Odoo Editions developed, giving a clear distinction in the latest release- Odoo version 12.

Cybrosys have been for a decade in Odoo ERP services and often witness the confusion and dilemma of the clients to make a choice between Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise. This prompted us to compile a piece on the difference between Odoo Enterprise and Odoo Community. There might be already many articles online, specifying the contrast between the two. However, we haven’t seen a sufficient and satisfactory one that clearly defines the distinction.

If you are looking for such a reference, continue reading this article.

To brief, Odoo Community and Enterprise differ in four aspects:

Modules & Features

Functionality can be described as the most notable difference between the two Odoo editions. Odoo Enterprise comes as the platinum version of Odoo, built on the base of Odoo community. It has numerous extra modules and highlights in the plate to offer the end-user.

Odoo Enterprise = Odoo Community Basic Modules+ Additional Features.

If we take up the latest release- Odoo v12, one can find that enormous scale upgrades are solely found on the licensed edition. The multi-website management and IP-address lead generation feature is a stand-still proof for this. Also the modules such as Document Management, Studio and IoT are only made available in the Enterprise Edition of Odoo, dismaying the Odoo community users.

Coming to feature contrast, the gap between community and enterprise is quite wide. To list a few, the E-commerce module in Odoo Enterprise version 12 comes with advantages such as pre-built shipping integrations, connector to eBay. Meanwhile, the manufacturing module under the Enterprise edition offers the benefits of Quality Control, Maintenance, Product Lifecycle Management, and IoT Integration. With Odoo V12, working with work center has also been improvised to a great extent. Availing the Enterprise benefits, the business organization can now seamlessly schedule, control and plan their production activities. Last but not least, a full accounting is only made available to the Enterprise Users.

Full Accounting comes with generic and dynamic reports of the following. These reports can be highly beneficial for your accountants as this helps them in precisely tracking the current financial position and status of the organization.
