1 year ago Odoo
- https://www.odoo.com/
- Free to use one "application" with unlimited users
- Many other applications like inventory management, etc.
- We are looking mostly at the Accounting application
Observations
- Relatively easy to get started
- Chart of accounts easy to modify/expand
- Could not get vendor bill OCR to work - repeated Python exceptions with every invoice I tried
- Eval on hold while we wait to hear back from support about Python exceptions
Lots of these when trying to OCR any bill:

Original: No, early encounter of frequent bugs does not instill confidence. 👎🏽
After discussing with their support team (who has been very responsive and helpful), Odoo emerged as a solid platform that balances ease of use (OCR invoices & process) with some deep customization.
