Scales with you, without the stress
Scale confidently as your business grows. MYOB Acumatica supports scalability by offering a strong customisation framework that maintains stability as workflows evolve and requirements expand.
Odoo’s modular, open-source design enables flexible customisation but brings challenges like a steep learning curve and potential risks to system integrity during large-scale modifications.
Reliable, industry-standard tech stack
Gain confidence in a stable and supported platform. MYOB Acumatica is built on a trusted, industry-leading tech stack that ensures consistent performance and commercial-grade support. This foundation reduces risks from technology gaps and delivers the reliability essential for mid-size to large businesses. Odoo uses an open-source framework offering flexibility but with variable technical oversight and less consistent support.
Dedicated, local support
Access expert, localised support that minimises downtime. MYOB Acumatica offers strong support tailored specifically for the ANZ market, connecting businesses to a network of local experts. Odoo’s support largely depends on community resources, which can be fragmented and inconsistent, often requiring businesses to rely on forums or third-party providers due to limited centralised assistance.
Your key questions, answered
How do MYOB Acumatica and Odoo compare when it comes to employee onboarding?
MYOB Acumatica is recognised for its intuitive, user-friendly design, which simplifies employee onboarding. Odoo relies on decentralised, community-driven resources and third-party support, which can make onboarding less consistent and more challenging.
How does MYOB Acumatica’s pricing compare to Odoo?
MYOB Acumatica includes licensing, implementation, and support costs upfront, giving businesses full clarity on their total cost of ownership. In contrast, Odoo’s lower initial price can be attractive, but businesses often incur additional costs for hosting, implementation, and customisation, which may lead to less predictable expenses over time.
Which system offers stronger support for local compliance: MYOB Acumatica or Odoo?
MYOB Acumatica is purpose-built for our local Australian and New Zealand market. It integrates GST, Single Touch Payroll (STP), and ATO compliance from the start, with no need for additional localisation. Odoo, while customisable, lacks native ANZ-specific compliance features, making it a less efficient solution for businesses requiring seamless adherence to regional regulations.
What is the implementation experience like with MYOB Acumatica vs Odoo?
MYOB Acumatica delivers a structured, professionally guided implementation tailored for ANZ businesses seeking reliable local expertise and support. In contrast, Odoo’s self-guided approach offers flexibility but carries higher risks of errors and complexity, often requiring businesses to invest in third-party help or allocate internal resources to address challenges.
