Three Odoo implementation packages, compared
The same method applies to all three; what changes is the size of the scope, how much of it is fixed in advance, and how much governance the project needs. This page places you. The three pages behind it describe what you actually get.
Context
The package is a decision about scope, not about budget
The instinct is to pick the package that matches a budget. That is the wrong axis. What separates the three is how much of the scope is decided in advance: everything, in the Starter, which is exactly why it goes live in weeks; most of it in the Business, after a proper discovery; and only the first phase in the Enterprise, because a group cannot know its own target in month one.
Choosing a package too small for your processes does not save money, it moves the cost to a second project. Choosing one too large adds governance you do not need. The table below is there to place you honestly, including when the answer is that none of the three applies and you need a support engagement instead.
Comparison
Where you sit
| Criteria | Starter | Business | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Small companies and startups, typically under ten people | Mid-market companies running several departments | Groups with several legal entities, countries or sites |
| Scope | One core flow, fixed and defined by us | Several departments, scoped with you | A programme, phased by entity or by domain |
| Customisation | None. 100 % standard Odoo | Where it earns its keep, documented with its upgrade cost | Including integrations with the systems you keep |
| Typical time to first go-live | About two weeks | A few months, in phases | Phased over several quarters |
| Data migration | Your key data, in a file format we give you | Cleaned, mapped and tested, including open transactions | Per entity, with a consolidation model |
| Governance | A kickoff, then a direct line | Named project manager and steering committee | Programme governance a board can be shown |
The three packages
Read the one that describes you
Each page carries its own scope, its deliverables, its typical duration and an explicit list of what it does not include.
Starter
One core flow, fixed scope, 100 % standard Odoo, live in about two weeks. For a company putting its first real system in place.
Business
Several departments on one system, with the migration and the change management that a replacement actually requires.
Enterprise
Multi-entity, multi-country or multi-site, with intercompany flows, consolidated reporting and governance to match.

Still hesitating between two of them?
That usually means the scope is not settled yet, which is a discovery question rather than a package question. An hour on the phone normally resolves it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Start from what you can describe precisely today. If you can name one process and would accept standard Odoo for it, the Starter will be live before a discovery phase would have finished. If you cannot describe the target without workshops, that is the Business, and the workshops are the first thing we sell you.
Upwards, yes, and it is a common path: a Starter on one flow, then a Business phase to extend to the other departments. Downwards, no — once a scope has been opened it does not close again for the price of a smaller package.
No. The six steps are the same, including the right to stop after the specification. What changes is their weight: on a Starter, discovery is a kickoff meeting; on an Enterprise programme it is several weeks per entity. The method is described on the offers and methodology page.
No. Odoo licences are billed by Odoo, per user and per app, and we have no margin on them — which is also why we have no interest in selling you more apps than you need. What they cost and how the editions differ is on the Odoo pricing page.
In France, Luxembourg and Singapore, often yes, and the packaged formats fit the schemes rather well because their scope is written down. See the public funding page — and start the file before the project, not after.
