The Odoo Roadshow Lagos returned this year with resounding success, attracting over 400 business owners, executives, and professionals from across Nigeria’s business ecosystem. The event brought together industry leaders, digital transformation experts, and both new and experienced Odoo users, all eager to discover how Odoo’s all-in-one ERP platform continues to redefine the way businesses operate.

From hands-on demonstrations to real customer stories, the energy in the room reflected one thing clearly: businesses in Nigeria are ready for smarter, more unified digital solutions, and Odoo is leading that transformation.

A Practical Look at Why Odoo Is the Right Tool for Modern Businesses

One of the standout moments of the event was Ronald Ollimo’s practical analogy comparing a business to a workman and Odoo to a fully equipped toolbox. Just as a skilled workman needs the right tools to work efficiently, businesses also need a single, integrated platform that consolidates their operations. Odoo, acting as that toolbox, houses all the tools a business needs to run smoothly, from sales and inventory to HR, accounting, and customer engagement.

This simple but powerful analogy resonated strongly with attendees, helping business owners visualise how Odoo simplifies their day-to-day operations.

Interactive Learning: Attendees Chose the Topics

In an engaging twist, attendees voted for the Odoo modules they wanted the facilitators to dive deeper into. The top selections included:

• Website Module
  
  
• Social Media Module
  
  
• Point of Sale (POS) Module
  
  

The facilitators unpacked key features of each module, showing attendees how:

• Odoo’s Website Builder empowers businesses to create professional, mobile-friendly websites with ease.
  
  
• The Social Marketing module helps brands schedule, publish, and track social content directly within Odoo.
  
  
• The POS module streamlines retail operations, offering real-time inventory sync, flexible payments, and multi-store management.
  
  

This interactive approach ensured that business owners got insight into the tools that matter most to their industries.

Real Stories, Real Impact: Testimonies From Odoo Users

One of the highlights of the Roadshow was the testimonial session, where existing Odoo users shared firsthand accounts of how the ERP is transforming their operations.

Mr Chucks Ezimadu, representing the Chartered Institute of Directors (CIoD), a long-term client of erpSOFTapp, gave a compelling testimony about their Odoo journey.

He shared how:

• The Membership Module eliminated manual registration processes, enabling a seamless digital membership system.
  
  
• The Accounting Module introduced ease, accuracy, and transparency into their payment processes.
  
  
• Odoo, implemented by erpSOFTapp, helped CIoD streamline workflows and elevate member experience.
  
  

His insights reinforced the value of choosing the right Odoo implementation partner and how the ERP delivers measurable operational improvements.

Open Q&A: Addressing Real Business Challenges

Attendees had the opportunity to ask questions directly to the Odoo facilitators and partners. From platform customisation to module scalability and integration options, no question was off the table.

This session helped many business owners gain clarity on how Odoo can be moulded to fit their unique industry needs— from retail and manufacturing to education, associations, logistics, and professional services.

Networking, Conversations, and Hands-On Guidance

As the event wrapped up, guests enjoyed a relaxed networking session with food, drinks, and meaningful business conversations.

Attendees with personalised questions or specific operational challenges got one-on-one guidance from Odoo facilitators and implementation partners present at the event. This made the Roadshow not only informative but also actionable. Many participants left with the next steps on how to adopt Odoo for their business.
