As an Odoo partner OIT GmbH has been using Odoo for many years – not only for customers, but also in its own company. The system runs productively for us every day, with many modules from version 18, which we use intensively and combine with the Microsoft world.
Recently Jan and Andreas were at the Odoo Business Show Dortmund, an event in the worldwide roadshow series. There we networked with Odoo customers, other Odoo partners and the Odoo team itself. It is precisely this exchange that makes Odoo so strong: an open community, direct contact with developers and real feedback from the field.

With the version Odoo 19 clearly shows where the journey is heading: The focus is on speed and AI. The platform is becoming even more performant and at the same time more intelligent. According to the Business Show event information, the new functions will be demonstrated live – from CRM to accounting, warehouse and sales through to eCommerce.
