The Odoo Stock Management software (formerly OpenERP and TinyERP) allows complete backtracking of all operations on stocks: inputs, outputs and even transformations in case of joint use of the production module. Reports are also available to help you analyze your performance.
Unlike Openflex, Odoo is more complex to handle and host. Learning is much longer, but if you’re ready to spend a lot of time, Odoo remains a great way to start your business.
