Odoo offers over 50,000 modules through its app store, including both official Odoo modules and third-party contributions. The core Odoo system includes approximately 30 official modules covering essential business functions like CRM, Sales, Inventory, Accounting, and more.
Can I use only specific modules, or do I need to implement the entire Odoo suite?
One of Odoo’s key advantages is its modular architecture. You can implement only the specific modules you need and add more as your business requirements evolve. However, it’s important to note that some modules have dependencies on others. For example, the Sales module requires the CRM module to function properly.

Odoo Community modules provide basic functionality and are free to use under the LGPL license. Enterprise modules offer enhanced features, better user interfaces, and additional capabilities like advanced reporting, electronic signatures, and mobile apps. Enterprise modules require a paid subscription but provide a more comprehensive business solution.
How long does it take to implement Odoo ERP?
Implementation time varies based on the number of modules, customization requirements, data migration complexity, and organizational size. A basic implementation with minimal customization can be completed in 2-3 months, while complex enterprise implementations with extensive customization may take 6-12 months. We follow an agile approach that allows for phased implementation to deliver value more quickly.
