ERP systems have become a critical tool for businesses seeking efficiency, scalability, and transparency. From the first attempts to automate warehouse inventory in the 60s to modern modular solutions like Odoo, the history of ERP technology demonstrates how the needs of businesses and IT capabilities have changed. Today, ERP is not just about accounting, but about the complete digital transformation of a company.
Odoo is one of the fastest growing new generation ERP platforms that combines flexibility, open architecture, and broad functionality. The ToDo team, as the official Odoo integrator in Ukraine, accompanies this transition for companies of various sizes - from local businesses to international holdings. To better understand the benefits of modern ERP solutions, it's worth taking a look at how this area has evolved: from the first programs for production to flexible cloud systems that support all business processes in real time.
The history of ERP
The first MRP (Material Requirements Planning) systems appeared in the 1960s. They were focused exclusively on the needs of manufacturing companies: calculating material requirements, planning purchases, and controlling inventory. These were standalone solutions that solved narrow tasks without integration with other business processes.
MRP II: expanding functionality
In the 1980s, the MRP concept was expanded to MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning), which included tools for managing production facilities, personnel, and finances. The systems became more comprehensive, but were still focused primarily on the manufacturing sector.
The emergence of ERP: integrating business into a single environment
In the 1990s, a new class of systems emerged - ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). The main difference was the coverage of all key processes of the company: finance, accounting, procurement, sales, warehouse accounting, HR, etc. ERP systems began to be implemented in companies of various sizes - from large corporations to medium-sized businesses.
New stage: industry solutions and transition to the cloud
In the 2000s, ERP systems began to specialize in specific industries: construction, distribution, retail, and agribusiness. Later, the cloud transformation began: ERP systems became available online, which significantly reduced infrastructure costs and simplified scaling.
Odoo - modern ERP for companies of all sizes
In 2002, the Odoo ERP platform was born out of a growing need for flexibility, fast implementation, and a user-friendly interface.
