After conquering Europe, the United states, Latin America, Africa, India and Hong Kong, the all-in-one integrated business solution Odoo is now setting up shop in Australia! The company will open its very first Aussie office by mid-January 2023 in the Gold Coast area. The aim is to strengthen its local presence towards Australian customers and partners whilst contributing to the digitalisation of the country's economy.
As highlighted by the government, Australian businesses have to adopt an unprecedented digital transformation in order to thrive in an ever evolving digital reality. Doing so is crucial for both big and smaller companies to boost their business productivity, ensure their longevity, enter new markets and be rapidly scalable. With an existing network of 18 partners in Australia, Odoo - whose mission is to help SMEs in their journey to digitalisation and improve their day-to-day operations - wants to directly contribute to this challenge. A perfect opportunity as 99% of the country's economic landscape is made up of SMEs and entrepreneurs. Odoo cares about working closely with its customers. The focus on this new mission is thus to offer a local approach to the existing market at first, and later on to find new partners to enlarge the Odoo community.
