We already paid for an Odoo implementation.

Then keep it if it is working. The case for switching is strongest when the implementation never finished or nobody outside finance uses it.

Can you handle inventory?

No. If you hold stock, Odoo is the better tool and we will say so.

Do you offer customisation?

Configuration: your stages, services, templates and fields. Not custom code, which is what makes upgrades painful elsewhere.

Compare/Odoo alternative

Looking for a Odoo alternative?

Odoo is a genuine ERP: enormously capable, modular, and usually delivered by a partner over several months. ZlyntOffice is ready to use the afternoon you sign up.

Prices and features checked against Odoo's own pricing page on 18 September 2026.

Choose Odoo if

–You need manufacturing, inventory or point of sale

–You have budget for an implementation partner

–You want to customise deeply, including the code

–Your processes are unusual and must be modelled exactly

Choose ZlyntOffice if

✓You run on client work, not physical goods

✓You want to be live this week, without a consultant

✓You want AI to read the whole business, not one Odoo app

✓You want a price you can predict without a quote

Odoo is the stronger product if you manufacture, hold stock or need deep customisation, and the open-source edition is remarkable value. The cost is the implementation, which is rarely small.

Moving your data across.

Odoo exports every model to CSV, so getting data out is straightforward. The question is usually which parts belong in a client-service system at all, we are direct about what we do not take.

Why we built our own

We did not want a project.

We looked hard at ERPs when Levich outgrew spreadsheets, and every path ended in a three-month implementation before anyone saw value. We wanted to be running on Monday. That constraint shaped the entire product: opinionated defaults, no consultant, and a system an assistant can read from day one.

Switching questions

No. ERPs model the whole enterprise including goods and manufacturing. We model the running of an office that sells work: clients, people, projects and money.
