Odoo vs Dynamics 365 Business Central

Business Central is a capable mid-market ERP with real Indian GST localization. The gap is how much lives in one product: in the Microsoft world, CRM, marketing, HR and customer service are separate Dynamics products you licence and connect. Odoo ships them in the same system, is open source, and does not assume your business runs on the rest of the Microsoft stack.

Where Odoo pulls ahead

The apps Dynamics BC doesn’t give you.

Built in, on the same database as your accounts — not bolted on later.

Why businesses switch

One system instead of five.

  • One database, one login, one vendor — no juggling multiple software subscriptions.

  • CRM, sales, purchase, inventory, manufacturing, HR, website and e-commerce are built in and pre-integrated, not bolted on.

  • Highly customizable — Odoo adapts to your exact workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s process.

  • Scales with your business — start with the apps you need today and add more as you grow, without switching platforms.

  • Lower long-term cost than licensing and connecting several separate tools.

How you pay

One yearly price, set by daily users.

  • Per company, per year

    Set by how many people use Odoo daily. Light users, who only approve, view or use self-service, are free.

  • Fixed-price go-live

    A Go-Live Package paid against results. Billing starts at go-live.

  • Clean exit

    Leave with your full database, files and own code. Hosted in India.

Questions

Before you decide.

Can we move our Business Central data to Odoo?

Yes. Chart of accounts, ledgers, masters and open balances are moved over and verified against your trial balance before cut-over. Migration is part of our fixed-scope implementation.

Does Odoo handle GST the same way?

Yes. GST invoicing, e-invoicing and compliance reports are built in and set up for your registrations during implementation.
