Odoo is a web-based open-source business software suite. According to its author Fabien Pinckaers, "Odoo is a suite of business apps, not only an ERP."[1] The software is offered in a commercial Enterprise edition and a free Community edition.
Product history
Odoo began life as OpenERP, which evolved from TinyERP, a small project of then student Fabien Pinckaers in May 2002. The project grew to a large enough degree that by the time he completed his studies in 2005, Pinckaers introduced a partner network and evangelized the open source nature of TinyERP.[2] By July 2008, however, planning began to change the name and the focus of the project. A LaunchPad project was started by Pinckaers on July 24, 2008[3], and by October 2008 the transition to OpenERP was complete.[4][2]
In February 2010, OpenERP acquired three million euros of venture capital from Sofinnova Partners to "be used to accelerate the company's development strategy, which includes strengthening the managerial team, increasing distribution of the new SaaS OpenERP offering (www.odoo.com) and enhancing its internationalization."[5][6]
On May 15, 2014, Fabien Pinckaers announced OpenERP would be renamed to Odoo. Pinckaers cited the ever increasing number of application modules and the "level of integration out-of-the-box" of the product, which had drifted considerably from an enterprise resource planning platform.[1][7] Pinckaers said:
We needed a brand which is free of constraints. We wanted a brand that allows us to release ERP applications like sales, accounting, inventory, procurements. But the brand should also fit with our latest apps like website builders, e-commerce, point of sales or business intelligence.[1]
The development team has stated the name "Odoo" has no significance. The name was chosen as Pinckaers already had control of the corresponding domain name, and the team found "direct correlation between the company valuation and the number of 'O' in its name."[1][8] However, the domain name had been used previously from 2009 to 2010 to share knowledge of OpenERP's then new software as a service (SaaS) offering.[9][5]
