Act now!
Without regular updates, your ERP becomes more vulnerable to new cybersecurity threats. Planning the transition in advance ensures data security and prevents unexpected maintenance costs.
SAP is pushing its clients toward S/4HANA, a costly and complex solution that requires a significant investment. Delaying this decision could lead to a rushed migration, disrupting operations and slowing growth. Extended support after 2027 will come at a high cost, putting a strain on your budget.
Rather than being forced into change, seize the opportunity to adopt a more flexible and cost-effective ERP like Odoo. By transitioning to a modern solution, you optimize your processes, improve efficiency, and strengthen your market position.
Odoo, the best alternative to SAP
An ERP that adapts to you, not the other way around
Every company has its own specific needs and goals. With its modular approach, Odoo evolves with your business. You activate only the features essential to your operations, whether it's sales management, accounting, CRM, inventory, or production, ensuring an ERP that perfectly aligns with your processes.
Its intuitive interface makes adoption easier for your teams, reducing training time and resistance to change. Designed for seamless integration with your existing tools, Odoo enables a smooth transition without disrupting operations.
Choosing Odoo = lower costs!
Investing in an ERP is more than just purchasing a license. Maintenance, updates, and customization costs must also be considered. With its open-source model, Odoo significantly reduces these expenses, offering an affordable and scalable alternative.
- A cost-effective open-source model: Unlike ERP solutions with high licensing fees, Odoo is based on an open-source structure. This financial flexibility allows businesses to allocate more resources to strategic projects. Plus, its active community continuously enhances the platform, ensuring constant innovation and evolution.

- Simplified maintenance: Regular and automated updates keep the system secure and optimized. Less manual intervention means you can focus on your core business with greater peace of mind.
SAP modules: a challenge for migration
SAP Business Suite 7 relies on key modules that, while effective, are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, especially with support ending in 2027. Let’s compare SAP’s primary modules with their Odoo equivalents to highlight the benefits of switching to a more flexible, scalable system.
SAP FI vs. Odoo Accounting
SAP FI (Financial Accounting) manages accounting and finances but struggles to keep up with regulatory and tax updates due to infrequent updates. Integration with other systems is also limited.
Odoo Accounting, on the other hand, benefits from continuous updates to ensure compliance with the latest tax and accounting regulations. It integrates seamlessly with other Odoo modules, providing a more streamlined and modern solution for businesses.
SAP MM vs. Odoo Inventory
SAP MM (Materials Management) handles procurement, inventory, and supply chain management, but its rigidity makes it difficult to adapt to market fluctuations and technological advancements.
Odoo Inventory offers real-time management, with tools to track stock movements and anticipate supply needs. Its integration with other Odoo modules ensures a more fluid and responsive inventory system.
SAP SD vs. Odoo Sales
SAP SD (Sales and Distribution) manages sales, orders, and shipping but can become slow and inefficient as the system ages.
Odoo Sales provides a modern interface that simplifies order and shipment management while automating tasks to improve overall efficiency.
SAP HR vs. Odoo HR
SAP HR (Human Resources) covers HR management, payroll, and talent tracking. However, its lack of updates can make it difficult to comply with new labor regulations.
Odoo HR offers a comprehensive employee management solution, from payroll to leave tracking and performance management, with automatic updates to ensure regulatory compliance.
SAP PP vs. Odoo Manufacturing
SAP PP (Production Planning) is used for production management, but its rigidity becomes a challenge when adapting quickly to market demands.
Odoo Manufacturing enables flexible production management with real-time planning and optimization tools, ensuring better cost control and responsiveness.
