Sage Intacct and Odoo: choosing between finance depth and one connected operation

For finance-led buyers, nonprofits, services firms and groups with several entities.

Too deep?

The short answer

• Sage Intacct is a good fit for finance teams that want multi-entity consolidation and dimensional reporting.
• Odoo is a good fit for sales, inventory, projects and point of sale, posting to Intacct.
• TRC ERP sets Odoo up for your business and connects what you keep.

What Sage Intacct does well

• Sage Intacct gives finance teams strong multi-entity consolidation and dimensional reporting in the cloud.

Where Odoo fits

• Keep Intacct for finance. Odoo runs sales, inventory, projects and point of sale and posts to Intacct through its REST API.

The deciding factor: Whether finance wants to keep its Intacct reporting model.

One system instead

Where the goal is one system for finance and operations, the options are to keep and connect, replace, or move in phases.

Journeys to explore

• Open a country operation in months, feeding the group core A telecoms group is launching in a new country: stores selling devices and contracts, field engineers installing service, a help desk taking customer tickets and a local finance team. A rollout of the group core to the new country would not be ready for the launch date.
• A group upgraded its core. Now modernize the divisions. A diversified group has just finished a long upgrade of its core ERP. Each division still runs its own separate system, and the team is tired of big programs.
• Move one existing division off its own system, with the group core unchanged A group's hospitality division has run its own separate system for years, beside the group finance system. Figures are re-keyed into group reporting every month, and the division's managers can't see margin by outlet until long after the month ends.
• Large enterprise Keep your group core, connect around it, or replace it in phases.
