Every app on one database.

Odoo is a suite of business apps that share one data model, so a sale updates stock, triggers manufacturing and posts to accounting without middleware. Its open-source core and Python framework make it unusually easy to extend.

  • Modular adoption — start with accounting or inventory, add apps as the business grows.
  • Hosting choice — SaaS, managed platform or your own servers.
  • Extensible — Odoo Studio for low-code, custom Python modules for the rest.

Questions & answers

Odoo in South Africa: common questions.

Do you implement Odoo in South Africa?

Yes. Magadh Consultants is a systems integration partner based in Midstream, Centurion (Gauteng), with a dedicated Odoo practice. We set up South African localisation for VAT and the chart of accounts, plus multi-currency.

Which Odoo apps do you implement?

Accounting & Invoicing, Sales & CRM, Inventory & Purchase, Manufacturing, Point of Sale, Website & eCommerce, Project & Field Service, HR and Odoo Studio.

Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premises — Community or Enterprise?

We work with all three hosting options and with both Odoo Community (open source) and Odoo Enterprise, including the current release, Odoo 19.

Can you customise Odoo?

Yes — standard first, custom only where it pays. We use Odoo Studio for low-code changes and build custom Python modules for the rest, kept upgrade-safe.

Can you replace our old ERP with Odoo?

Yes. We move off ageing ERPs with a phased migration of masters, open items and history, and connect existing POS, warehouse, CRM and payment systems through APIs.

How much does a Odoo project cost?

Every engagement is scoped after a short discovery call, so we can give you an honest estimate rather than a list price. Tell us what you run today on the Contact page and a consultant from our Odoo practice will come back with an approach, phases and effort written down.
