Odoo is an open-source ERP software that is an all-in-one management solution for all business verticals and industries. Simply defined, Odoo is a collection of all the features and tools we need to run our business efficiently.
The primary concept behind purchase management software is to reduce and simplify as many operations as possible while keeping prices low and worker errors low. It streamlines procurement offers, distributes RFQs, tracks purchase orders, manages suppliers, gathers data, receives items, and evaluates vendors.
