Odoo vs EZOfficeInventory: Which is a better fit?

Charles: Hi, my name is Charles. I'm a mental performance consultant. I've been using Odoo for my personal business and I give it a rank of four out of five. Before using Odoo, I wasn't really using anything, which meant that a lot of responsibilities and task fell on my desk. So I started using Odoo to kind of schedule everything out, make sure I organize everything, work on billing, work on implementing an e-commerce, and also just learning to manage project between the different people that we had collaborating with us. I decided to choose Odoo because I needed a system that was a bit more precise and concise to work with the different people that we had, with the different schools and the different projects. And at the same time, I wanted to use the same platform that was going to allow me to work on billing and invoices without using another software in order to complete that task. So implementing Odoo was fairly simple. Obviously it's a new software which always takes time. But the person that helped me set it up made sure that things were running smoothly and that we didn't really have any issues. The big plus of Odoo was the easy customer service and the fact that the app was very user-friendly for myself, but also the people that was also on board using the platform. The main advice I have for anyone who wants to use Odoo in their business, if you're looking to save time and really you having multiple things to do all the time, Odoo will just help you facilitate those roles and understanding, facilitating and delegating all that work that falls down on your lap, that was a big different changer for me. The biggest thing was just accepting that the business was growing and that I needed help to make sure that every single files were completed on time, which is the main reason and the main advice that I tell you on why you should use Odoo.

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Brandi. I work for Missouri Western State University. I'm the administrative assistant for the Communication English department, and I give EZOfficeInventory a three out of five. We use EZOfficeInventory for inventory control of cameras, video cameras, tripods, equipment that the students use for the journalism courses that they are taking. One of the things that I like about EZOfficeInventory is the streamline effect. I may able to add members, in our case, students to each of the semesters for usage of the inventory, and it shows reservations, it shows if they're late, things like that. So it's very user-friendly for not only the office staff, but the students as well. Some of the things that I feel like that they could improve upon would be make it more user-friendly as far as students or the end user. It seems to be geared more toward a corporate environment, whereas the things that we use it for are equipment usage on the academic level. The things that I think could be improved upon would be perhaps sending out notifications if the particular equipment or inventory that's been checked out is past its due date. Things that could be also attached to that would be being able to send out reminders specifically to that member that has it checked out, and showing how many times they have been late on various other inventories that they have checked out in the past. Keeping a record of that for a particular student.
