Hi,
I would suggest ERPNext as it is mush easier to use and maintain than Odoo. And, it is 100% FREE and Open Source, which means you get all apps and enterprise features for free.
Disclaimer:- We specialize in Managed ERPNext services.
Regards.
Topic summary
Choosing ERP for a small, Germany-based online shop that fulfills in-house and currently has low order volume.
- Odoo recommended as a general-purpose ERP to manage the store.
- ERPNext proposed as easier than Odoo, 100% free and open source, with all apps and enterprise features included; recommender discloses offering managed ERPNext services.
- Versa Cloud ERP suggested with a newly launched free version; English-only but used globally; recommender discloses affiliation.
- Alternative view: a full ERP may be overkill for small operations. A WMS/inventory system (e.g., SKUSavvy) could cover warehouse, inventory, pick-pack-ship, and employee/purchasing, while accounting connects via QuickBooks or Xero synced to Shopify or other channels.
- Key considerations raised: cost (free options), language/localization (Versa is English-only), and right-sizing complexity (ERP vs WMS + accounting stack).
- Outcome: No consensus or final decision; the original poster has not indicated a choice. The discussion remains open.
