The ERP systems we work with

We focus on three systems so we can know them deeply. We start from Odoo because it fits most Aruban companies on price and scope. When another system fits better, we say so.

How we choose

Your processes

Retail with a busy till needs something different from a distributor with three warehouses.

Total cost

Licences, hosting, implementation and support over five years, not just the price per user.

Room to grow

Open systems with good connections, so you can add a webshop, a location or a company later.

Local fit

How well the system handles the florin, the turnover tax and multiple languages.

Systems

Odoo Our default

For shops, restaurants, distributors and service companies of about 3 to 150 people.

Strengths
Every app in one licence, a fast point of sale for retail and hospitality, inventory, webshop, accounting and helpdesk that share one database.
Licence
Per user per month, paid to Odoo. One app is free. The Custom plan adds Studio, custom modules and integrations; most of our clients need it.
Watch out for
Prices vary by region and rise at renewal, so we include them in your five-year cost.

ERPNext

For companies that want no licence fees, full ownership, or workflows that standard packages cannot handle.

Strengths
Fully open source, with accounting, stock, manufacturing, projects and HR. Every screen and field can be adapted without touching the core.
Licence
None. You pay for hosting and for our work, nothing per user.
Watch out for
A smaller ecosystem of ready-made apps, and a simpler point of sale than Odoo for busy restaurants.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

For companies that already work in Microsoft 365 and need strong finance and multi-company reporting.

Strengths
Deep finance, works closely with Excel, Outlook, Teams and Power BI, and includes Microsoft’s Copilot.
Licence
Per user per month through a Microsoft partner. Higher than Odoo, with fewer apps included.
Watch out for
No Aruba version, so tax and reporting are configured by hand. We have done that work for you.
