Open-source ERP
Deskflow vs Odoo

Odoo is powerful but complex. Implementations take months and require an IT partner. For SMEs looking to scale quickly, that's a brake, not a driver.

  • Deskflow is live within a few weeks, Odoo only after 3 to 6 months
  • No hidden consultancy or customisation costs
  • Webshop integrations included as standard
  • Intuitive, no IT knowledge required

Belgian ERP/WMS
Deskflow vs Adsolut

Adsolut targets mid-sized and large enterprises. Smaller SMEs pay for functionality they'll never use and miss out on fast e-commerce integrations.

  • Deskflow scales with your SME, not too big, not too small
  • Ready-made webshop and marketplace integrations
  • Transparent subscription rate, no custom-work costs
  • Faster onboarding and personal guidance

Deskflow vs Plenion

Plenion focuses heavily on field service management. Businesses that primarily manage orders, stock and webshops miss the dedicated e-commerce and logistics modules Deskflow offers as standard.

  • Deskflow is built specifically for order and stock flows
  • Native integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce and more
  • Omnichannel management from one central platform
  • Better Peppol integration for e-invoicing

Retail software
Deskflow vs Tilroy

Tilroy is strong for pure non-food retailers wanting their own webshop. Anyone wanting to connect an existing webshop or who also sells B2B misses the flexibility Deskflow offers as standard.

  • Connect your existing webshop: WooCommerce, Shopify, Lightspeed and more
  • B2B portal and quote-to-invoice flow standard
  • Full invoicing, 100% Peppol-ready
  • Entry from €75/month, built modularly

Deskflow works on a transparent subscription model: one fixed monthly price, with no hidden licence costs or unexpected implementation invoices. Alternatives such as Odoo or custom ERP systems often carry high consultancy and customisation costs on top of the software price. Try Deskflow 14 days free, with no credit card.

Absolutely. Deskflow has an import module that lets you easily load your existing product, customer and stock data from Excel or CSV. Our onboarding team guides you step by step through the data migration, even if you're currently still starting from Excel.
Yes, Deskflow is fully Peppol-ready. By 2030, e-invoicing will become the European standard; in Belgium it has already been mandatory since 2026. Deskflow sends and receives e-invoices via the Peppol network, without any extra module or technical configuration. Many alternatives still require additional modules or external services for this.
Most customers are live in under a month. Our team helps you import existing data, configure your integrations (webshop, accounting, CRM) and onboard your team. After your free trial period we schedule an onboarding call to make sure everything goes smoothly.
