An open-source alternative to NetSuite

Odoo is the one project in our catalog listed as a replacement for NetSuite. It is operations software with 55.4K GitHub stars. Below is how it measures against the questions people usually ask first.

Odoo

Operations

Run sales, stock, purchasing and projects from one set of business apps.

Odoo is built as separate apps that share one database. You start with the ones you need, such as CRM, Sales and Invoicing, and add Inventory, Purchase, Manufacturing, Website or Project later. The Community edition is open source and you can run it on your own server.

  • Install only the apps you need, such as CRM, Sales, Inventory, Purchase or Project.
  • Run quotes, invoices, stock moves, purchase orders and manufacturing orders in one system.
  • Self-host with Linux packages or from source on PostgreSQL 13 or newer, under the LGPL.

What people use it for

Take a lead through to an invoice

Log leads in CRM and move them through your pipeline. When a deal is won, create a quotation in Sales, confirm it, and issue the customer invoice from the order in Invoicing.

Keep stock and supplier orders in step

Set up products in Inventory and record receipts and deliveries as they happen. Raise purchase orders in Purchase for your suppliers and receive the goods against the order.

Sell online and in a shop

Build your site with the Website app and add eCommerce to list products and take orders. Use Point of Sale at the counter, with both channels drawing on the same products and stock.
