Modulario vs. Odoo: a global ecosystem versus a Slovak partner
Odoo has a huge module catalogue and an active community. The price is a Python/XML legacy UX, complicated onboarding and the absence of a strong Slovak implementation partner. Modulario offers a modern technology stack, local support and a predictable price.

Kedy zvoliť Modulario
- You want a modern web UI without the visual look of a 10-year-old application
- You need a Slovak implementation partner who understands VAT, the VAT control statement and e-kasa
- You prefer a predictable price per user over counting licences module by module
- You do not want to deal with the technical debt of Python/XML customisations on every upgrade
- You are looking for fast onboarding — in weeks, not months
Kedy zostať pri Odoo
- You have an internal IT team familiar with Python and XML and need maximum configurability
- You require specialised modules such as detailed MRP II manufacturing planning
- You have global branches across multiple countries outside the EU and the Odoo ecosystem already covers them
- You want to host Odoo self-hosted with full control over the code
Ako prejsť z Odoo
- 1
Audit of the current Odoo installation
We go through the list of installed modules, custom extensions, workflows and integrations. We identify what is core functionality and what is specific customisation.
- 2
Mapping modules to the Modulario schema
We map Odoo entities (partners, products, sale.order, account.move) to the Modulario schema. We agree which custom modules to bring over as configuration and which as new development.
- 3
Data export and import
Odoo supports XML export of all tables. We clean and deduplicate the data and import it into Modulario. We validate sub-ledgers, stock balances and open orders.
- 4
Parallel run and training
Both systems run for 2-4 weeks. Users go through targeted training — a regular user in 2 hours, an administrator in half a day.
- 5
Switch-over and shutdown of Odoo
Once consistency is confirmed, you switch the company over fully. Odoo can be shut down or kept in archive mode. The savings on Odoo hosting typically cover the price of Modulario.
Frequently asked questions
Why should we leave Odoo when it is already deployed?
If Odoo works for you and the team knows it, you do not have to. Typical reasons to switch to Modulario are: maintenance costs of custom modules during upgrades, lack of local support, slow UX, or the need for a more modern interface for the sales team.
Does Modulario have as many modules as Odoo?
No, and intentionally so. Odoo has 40,000+ modules of varying quality. Modulario has a focused set of modules built by a single team, which means consistent UX, the same speed and a unified upgrade cycle. If you need a specific module, we develop it to order.
How much does the migration from Odoo cost?
It depends on the number of custom modules. A standard SMB migration (up to 20 users) costs EUR 3,000-8,000 depending on scope. We give you a free estimate after the audit.
Can we handle the migration ourselves or do we need a partner?
We recommend an implementation partner. Modulario offers its own team and a network of Slovak partners who have done the migration repeatedly. Internal migrations without experience usually take 2-3x longer.
What happens to our custom modules from Odoo?
We analyse their function. Most are replicated as configuration in Modulario (rules, automations, custom fields). Complex process modules are rebuilt as part of Modulario — they remain yours and ride along with every upgrade.
Does Modulario have e-shop integrations like Odoo?
Yes. Modulario has connectors for WooCommerce, Shoptet, Shopify and Upgates. It supports synchronisation of products, orders, stock levels and customers in both directions via REST API or webhooks.
