International ERP with POS, accounting, inventory, manufacturing and HR apps
Visit OdooOur take
For a small or medium Pakistani business, HisaabPOS is the better fit. FBR Digital Invoicing, FBR POS and PRA are built in, it is priced per shop from Rs 1,000 a month rather than per user, it runs in English or Urdu, and you can set it up yourself during the 1-month free trial. Odoo needs a third-party FBR module, and most shops need a partner to implement it, which adds to the per-user licence. Odoo is the stronger option for a larger company that needs a full international ERP across many departments or companies, wants to self-host, and has a partner to run the project. HisaabPOS also covers accounting, payroll, manufacturing and warehouses, so most growing shops will not need to switch.
