Odoo is a suite of business management software tools that includes CRM, e-commerce, invoicing, accounting, manufacturing, warehousing, project management and inventory management. The community version (so-called community version) is free software distributed under the GNU LGPLv3 license. The enterprise edition has its own additional features and services. The source code for the platform and the core ERP modules is curated by the Belgian company Odoo S.A. Odoo is available for both on-premises and ready-to-use SaaS environments.

From the beginning, Odoo SA (formerly OpenERP SA) has released core open source software. With the release of version 9.0, the company moved to an open core model, providing subscription-based proprietary enterprise software and cloud-based software as a service in addition to the open source version. In 2013, the non-profit Odoo Community Association was founded to promote widespread use of Odoo and support collaborative development of Odoo features .
 
Odoo's extensible architecture allows a large number of freelancers and organizations to develop Odoo apps or modules and bring them to market for sale or free download (https://apps.odoo.com/apps). The core components of Odoo are the framework with about 30 core applications (also called official modules) and thousands of community modules. ​

Several books have been written about Odoo, some of which focus on specific areas such as accounting or development.
