GodKey MFG vs Odoo

An Odoo alternative without an implementation project.

Odoo is a large, modular business system — its documentation covers manufacturing with bills of materials, work orders and work centers, alongside many other apps. Its own pricing tool says a successful implementation requires analysis of your business needs, configuration, training, data import and customization. GodKey MFG is built for shops of 1–20 people and sets itself up from your answers in seven short steps.
