Open-source
The best-known ERP platforms are SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, but for some time now there has been a Belgian ERP package on the market: Odoo.
Odoo is open-source and gained popularity, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to its cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and the ability to adapt to various business processes.
In general, ERP packages are limited to their core functions and can be expanded using apps or plugins. These bring additional functionalities within the familiar environment.
Odoo 17 was launched on November 8, 2023 and this new version has built-in “starter kits” to set up your Odoo application for a specific market.
Some examples are
-
Bar and Lounge

Hair Salon
