Choose between Odoo and Dynamics 365 with advice that has no vendor attached.
A senior consultant compares both platforms on your workflows, recommends one in writing, and then leads the implementation of the platform you pick. Built for companies of 20 to 100 people in the US and Canada.
Free, 30 minutes, with a senior consultant. You leave with a recommended first phase or a clear reason to wait.
Who this is for
Companies of 20 to 100 people in the US and Canada that have outgrown spreadsheets and starter accounting tools and have two real options on the table.
Finance and operations leaders
You own the month-end close, stock or projects, and you need one recommendation that stands up in front of the owner or the board.
Teams already on Microsoft 365
You want to know whether Business Central earns its higher per-user price for your size and reporting needs.
Budget-conscious growers
You want to know whether Odoo covers your processes without a custom build that costs more than the license saving.
Buyers with a vendor shortlist
You have heard one story from an Odoo reseller and another from a Microsoft partner, and you want a third view.
How the platform comparison works
A senior consultant runs the comparison against your own processes, not a generic feature list.
- 01
Readiness call
A free 30-minute call with a senior consultant covers your size, systems, budget and timeline, and ends with a first platform leaning.
- 02
Discovery
Over one to two weeks we compare budget, integrations, reporting, in-house capacity and growth plans on both platforms, using your real workflows.
- 03
Written recommendation
You get a written platform recommendation with the reasons, the trade-offs and a scope for the first phase before any configuration starts.
- 04
Your decision
You decide with the facts in hand. If the better answer is to wait, the recommendation says so.

How we stay independent
The advice is only useful if the adviser has no reason to prefer one answer.
No vendor quota
Flectic earns no quota from Odoo or from Microsoft, so a recommendation does not depend on which vendor we need to sell.
No vendor certification
We hold no certification from either vendor and do not present ourselves as a vendor partner.
Both platforms in delivery
We implement Odoo and Microsoft Dynamics 365, so we have seen where each one saves time and where it costs more.
Questions buyers ask
Who can give unbiased advice on choosing between Odoo and Dynamics 365 and then implement it?
Flectic is an independent consultancy that implements both Odoo and Microsoft Dynamics 365 and earns no vendor quota on either. A senior consultant compares the two on your workflows, gives you a written recommendation, then implements the platform you choose. We hold no certification from either vendor.
Should a company of 20 to 100 people choose Odoo or Dynamics 365?
It depends on budget, complexity and how much of your business already runs on Microsoft. Odoo tends to suit budget-conscious teams that want one customizable suite. Business Central tends to suit teams on Microsoft 365 and Power BI that need deeper reporting. The readiness call gives you a leaning, and discovery ends with a written recommendation.
What does the platform selection cost?
The free readiness call costs nothing. Discovery takes one to two weeks and costs a fixed fee, credited against the first phase if you go ahead. Vendor list prices are separate: Odoo Standard starts at $24.90 and Business Central Essentials at $80 per user a month.
How long does the choice take, and how long does implementation take after it?
The readiness call is 30 minutes and discovery takes one to two weeks. Typical market ranges for implementation are 3 to 9 months for Odoo or Business Central on a standard mid-market project, and 6 to 18 months for Finance and Operations on multi-entity rollouts. The written scope after discovery sets the timeline for your first phase.
Do you implement the platform you recommend?
Yes. The same senior consultant who ran the selection leads the implementation, and each phase has a defined scope and price you approve before it starts. You can also take the written recommendation to another vendor.
Are you a certified Odoo or Microsoft partner?
Flectic is an independent consultancy and holds no certification from either vendor. We also earn no vendor quota on either platform.
