ERP technical support

A comparison between community, AI, and premium support.

What type of ERP support does your company need?

Support is fundamental to any enterprise technology solution. In the Odoo ecosystem, there are different approaches to providing user support, ranging from community-based solutions to high-level, customized services. In this article, we explore the three most common types of support, their advantages, disadvantages, and when each is most appropriate.

Community Support

Community support is fundamental in the open source world. It's based on collaboration between users, developers, and companies who share solutions, questions, and experiences. In the case of Odoo, discussion forums are a valuable source of knowledge. We especially recommend:


👉 Official Odoo Forum — Maintained by Odoo S.A., with contributions from users around the world.


👉 AEOdoo Forum — Spanish-language exchange space managed by the Spanish Odoo Association.

Good stories are for everyone, even when you're writing for just one person. If you try to write for a broad, general audience, your story will sound artificial and lack emotion. No one will be interested. Write for one person. If it's authentic for that person, it will be authentic for everyone else.

  • Generate tickets automatically when no response is found.
  • Answer the most frequently asked questions from the knowledge base.
