Maximizing Productivity with Manufacturing ERP: Benefits and Best Practices

Maximizing Productivity with Manufacturing ERP: Benefits and Best Practices | 18 min read

unning a business without an ERP system is like assembling puzzles in the dark — you might have a few pieces together, but it's hard to see the full picture. ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems help businesses manage everything in one neat platform: inventory, accounting, customer relationships and much more. Think of them as the brains of your company, just without the caffeine addiction. Choosing the right ERP isn't just a “nice to have.” It's a “choose wisely or brace yourself for chaos” kind of deal. Today, we're zooming in on two heavyweights: Odoo and NetSuite. They're both popular, they're both powerful, and — spoiler alert — they can both be life-changing for your business if you pick the one that fits. But they're very different creatures under the hood. When exploring NetSuite alternatives, Odoo is likely one of the most compelling options on the table — offering flexibility, affordability, and strong community support. Ready? Let's dive into it before someone in accounting suggests “just continue with spreadsheets.” Odoo was created in 2005 in Belgium under the name of TinyERP. It was renamed to OpenERP in 2008 and to Odoo in 2014 to reflect its expansion beyond traditional ERP functions. Odoo is open-source business application software that serves multiple industries with ever 100 modules for automation. Odoo is a modular application, which means companies can tailor their ERPs by adding and removing apps, i.e. using only CRM, accounting, HR, inventory and e-Commerce.
