A 20-user Kenyan business would pay approximately KES 0 in licence fees for ERPNext versus approximately KES 640,000 per year for Odoo Enterprise. However, Odoo is the better choice for retail and eCommerce businesses due to its built-in online store and superior user interface. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gegohub.com\/#\/ContactUs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact Gegohub<\/a> for a free consultation on which suits your business.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Does ERPNext support KRA eTIMS in Kenya?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes. <a href=\"https:\/\/erpnext.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ERPNext<\/a> supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kra.go.ke\/etims\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KRA eTIMS<\/a> integration when implemented by a certified local partner.

Gegohub Limited implements Odoo with full M-Pesa integration as part of the Kenya localisation package.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Can I start with Odoo Community and upgrade to Enterprise later?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes, but with important caveats. Odoo Community is very limited \u2014 it lacks full accounting, payroll, and mobile apps. Many Kenyan businesses that start on Community quickly find they need Enterprise for basic operations. It is often more cost-effective to start with ERPNext (fully free) rather than Odoo Community, then upgrade to Odoo Enterprise only when you genuinely need its specific features.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Which ERP is easier to implement in Kenya \u2014 ERPNext or Odoo?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">ERPNext is generally faster to implement for straightforward setups \u2014 typically 4\u20138 weeks for a Kenyan SME. Odoo implementations take 6\u201314 weeks depending on the number of modules. Both require Kenya-specific localisation for KRA eTIMS, M-Pesa, and statutory payroll, which Gegohub handles for both platforms.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Does Gegohub Limited implement both ERPNext and Odoo in Kenya?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes. Gegohub Limited is a certified ERPNext implementation partner and an authorised Odoo partner in Kenya. We implement, train, and support both platforms for businesses across Kenya and East Africa. <a href=\"https:\/\/gegohub.com\/#\/ContactUs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> for a free, no-obligation consultation to determine which ERP is right for your business.<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">Can I migrate from ERPNext to Odoo or vice versa?<\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes, migration between the two platforms is possible and Gegohub has experience managing such transitions. Key steps include data migration of master data and transaction history, process re-mapping, integration reconfiguration, and staff retraining.
