By Harikrishnan, Founder & Chief Zoho Consultant, Flowpeak · 10+ years in Zoho · Published · Last updated
Moving from Odoo to Zoho means mapping each Odoo app to its Zoho equivalent (CRM to Zoho CRM, Accounting to Zoho Books, Inventory to Zoho Inventory, custom modules to Zoho Creator), migrating masters, open transactions and balances, and cutting over in phases. With Flowpeak an Odoo to Zoho ERP migration starts from USD 1,020 (₹95,000, £780, €900, AED 3,750).

Businesses leave Odoo when customisations become hard to maintain, upgrades break things, or hosting and partner costs keep rising. Zoho covers the same ground with separate but connected apps. The migration works best in phases.
