Odoo? Saw some of their ads the last while.

I was thinking of becoming an Odoo consulting once my current career finishes.

Went through the Odoo path just a couple months back. Very interesting capability but requires a lot of customization which can turn what seems like a relatively affordable venture expensive really quick and given the knowledge of some of their consultants it was actually quite worrisome.

We are about to implement Acumatica.

CFO chose it, I'm told it will solve a lot of the issues/ bottlenecks I currently have... we shall see.

Every ERP requires a lot of customization, and if a vendor tells you otherwise they're straight out lying. Pepper your angus.

I don't disagree about the customization although a lot depends on the industry and client workflow, I used to be a partner at a SaaS company implementing various accounting/workflow tools so I've been involved in some very intricate implementations. Odoo seems to be a very interesting setup, very basic functionality that is tailored to uniform production but really falls down for custom manufacturing and job shop type set ups.

Although they have started billboard advertising on Glenmore/Blackfoot.
