FAQ

Switching from Odoo FAQ

Why not just use Odoo's free version?

Odoo's free version is limited and still requires significant configuration and learning. The total cost includes implementation time, training, and ongoing customization. Many shops find they spend more on "free" Odoo than on a purpose-built solution like Jolted.

No—and that's the point. Odoo tries to do everything (CRM, ecommerce, HR, etc.). Jolted focuses on manufacturing operations: job costing, work orders, scheduling, and WIP tracking. If you need a full ERP suite, Odoo might be right. If you need job shop software that works, Jolted is simpler.

Tell us. We add features based on customer needs. Our roadmap is shaped by manufacturers actually using the software, not by trying to build another generic ERP.

We help migrate your job history and customer data. Most transitions take 2-4 weeks of parallel running before full switch. You won't lose historical visibility.

Jolted handles multi-operation routing, material tracking, scheduling, and job costing for complex job shops. "Simple" means easy to use, not limited in capability. Most job shops find everything they need without enterprise complexity.

Jolted integrates with QuickBooks for accounting, and has an API for custom connections. We add integrations based on customer demand—tell us what you need.
