Centy vs Odoo
Odoo is flexible and open — you need technical ownership to keep country compliance, hosting, and mobile-money connectors maintainable.
Perfect when you have in-house Odoo developers. Centy is a managed ERP for finance teams that want African statutory logic and payments without maintaining custom modules.
| What finance teams ask | Centy | Odoo |
|---|---|---|
| M-Pesa production use | Supported connectors with reconciliation to GL | Community or custom modules to vet and maintain |
| Statutory payroll | Vendor-maintained country templates and workflows | Community localizations require validation each tax year |
| Hosting | Managed deployment on your infrastructure preference | Self-host, Odoo.sh, or partner hosting — you operate it |
| Customization | Configured to your chart, branches, and approvals | Unlimited code; fork drift and upgrade risk |
| Implementation support | African rollout team and documented playbooks | Partner quality and availability varies widely |
