Why businesses choose M&J for Odoo

Odoo implementations succeed or fail on delivery experience, not on the software. This is the base we bring to a project.

Silver Certified Odoo Partner

M&J holds Silver certification with Odoo, which means our team is accredited on the platform and we work inside the official partner programme rather than around it.

150+ active Odoo sites

More than 150 Odoo environments are live and supported today. Scale of that kind is what exposes the edge cases: migrations, multi-company structures and integrations, long before they surface on your project.

Africa's largest Odoo partner by projects

M&J has delivered more Odoo projects than any other partner on the continent, across a range of industries and company sizes.

Accounting knowledge, not only configuration

Our Odoo team sits alongside accountants, tax practitioners and payroll specialists, so the chart of accounts, VAT setup and reporting are designed by people who use them.

One platform, phased around your priorities

Odoo offers connected applications for accounting, CRM, sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, point of sale, projects, ecommerce, HR and more. You do not need to implement every module at once. A controlled rollout starts with the processes producing the clearest operational value.

What M&J delivers

  • Discovery and requirements mapping
  • Process and solution design
  • Module configuration
  • South African accounting and VAT setup
  • Data cleansing and migration
  • Integrations and approved customisation
  • User acceptance testing
  • Training and go-live support
  • Ongoing optimisation

South African localisation

Odoo's official documentation lists a South African fiscal localisation. Localisation provides country-oriented accounting components, but it still requires configuration and review. It should never be described as automatic SARS certification or a substitute for sound accounting controls.

Most successful rollouts begin with one team and one process. These are the usual entry points, each with its own implementation page.

Tell us which processes are slowing growth and what systems you use today. We will propose a phased scope rather than a full-platform rollout by default.

  • Discovery first: we scope against your processes before proposing modules
  • Configuration reviewed by people who understand the accounting, not only the software
  • Capability confirmed for your Odoo version and edition, never assumed

Frequently asked questions

What businesses ask before committing to an Odoo project. Version, edition and hosting change several of these answers, so we confirm them against your intended setup.

Ask about your setup

Is Odoo suitable for small businesses?

It can support small teams and larger multi-company operations. Suitability depends on process needs, governance, budget and implementation discipline.

Can Odoo replace several systems?

Often, but replacing every system is not automatically the best first phase. Integration or phased consolidation may reduce risk.

Is Odoo compliant with South African VAT?

Odoo provides South African fiscal localisation capabilities. Correct configuration, transactions, controls and professional review remain essential. Localisation is not SARS certification, and the applicable submission process must be confirmed separately.

How much does Odoo cost?

Cost combines licensing, hosting, implementation, migration, customisation, training and support. We do not publish Odoo subscription prices because they change; we confirm current licensing against the official Odoo pricing source and scope the implementation separately.

Can you migrate from Sage or spreadsheets?

Yes, subject to data quality and an agreed migration scope. Migration is scoped as its own workstream, with reconciliation of opening balances before go-live.
