Odoo Expert
in Reunion Island
Odoo is the world's most widely deployed open source ERP — 13 million users, €650 million in revenue in 2025, 80+ native modules. ECLAUD IT hosts, secures and supports your Odoo instance in Reunion Island.
CRM, accounting, stock, HR, e-commerce — Odoo brings everything together in a single platform. We host your instance (local or European cloud), migrate your data from Sage or Cegid, integrate Microsoft 365, and provide day-to-day support. Reunion Island VAT at 8.5% configured, 2026 e-invoicing ready.
Why are SMEs in Reunion Island choosing Odoo?
The ERP market in Reunion Island is dominated by Sage and Cegid-EBP. The problem: these solutions are expensive, evolve slowly and lock in your data. When you want to add a CRM or e-commerce module, it means a new quote, a new project and sometimes a new piece of software altogether.
Odoo takes the opposite approach. A single platform, 78 integrated modules, a modern interface. Start with accounting and CRM, add inventory when you are ready, then e-commerce, then HR. Everything communicates natively — no interfaces to maintain, no overnight synchronisations that break.
"Odoo is used by more than 13 million users in 180 countries, with revenue of €650 million in 2025 (+45% per year). Deloitte France launched its Odoo practice in early 2025 — a strong signal of credibility for an ERP long seen as an outsider against SAP and Sage." — Odoo S.A., Deloitte France
In Reunion Island, several integrators share the market: ArkeUp Reunion (Ready, subsidiary of the national Gold partner), Digitic (founded in 2024), Octaly, GSI.re, GS Conseils. ECLAUD IT is not a traditional functional integrator — our value lies in infrastructure: secure hosting, disaster recovery backup, firewall, Microsoft 365 integration, global IT support. No local Odoo partner offers this MSP + ERP combination. Your ERP does not exist in isolation — it runs on an infrastructure that must be reliable, compliant and secure.

6 reasons to choose Odoo over a proprietary ERP
Open source & modular
Odoo Community is free and open source. Start with one module and add others as you grow. No monolithic commitment like SAP or Cegid.
Lower cost than proprietary ERPs
According to Ionia Connect, migrating to Odoo saves 60 to 80% compared with SAP, Sage X3 or Oracle. The licensing model is transparent: per user, per month.
Built for SMEs
Odoo is used by more than 13 million users in 180 countries, with revenue of €650 million in 2025 (+45% per year). The interface is modern, intuitive and requires no six-month training programme. Deloitte France launched its Odoo practice in 2025 — a strong signal of credibility.
Flexible hosting
Odoo cloud (European servers, GDPR compliant), private cloud at a local Reunion Island host (minimise latency and submarine cable risk), or on-premise on your own server.
E-invoicing 2026 ready
Odoo is compatible with the e-invoicing obligations coming into force in September 2026 (receipt) and 2027 (issue for SMEs). Built-in e-invoicing module.

Odoo in Reunion Island — why local hosting matters
Reunion Island depends on two submarine cables (SAFE and LION) for its internet connectivity. A disruption — it happens — and your ERP hosted in mainland France becomes inaccessible. Your sales team cannot enter quotes, your accountant cannot raise invoices, your stock is out of date.
That is why we recommend a hybrid hosting approach: Odoo instance on a local cloud in Reunion Island (latency under 5 ms, independent of submarine cables) with backup replicated in mainland France for resilience. The best of both worlds: local performance and geographic redundancy.
On the tax side, Odoo handles the 8.5% VAT applicable in Reunion Island, the reduced rate of 2.1%, and the French chart of accounts. The octroi de mer (local import levy) requires additional configuration — we take care of it. For businesses operating in both Reunion Island and mainland France, Odoo supports multi-company entities with different VAT rates per entity.
Another DOM specificity: the LODEOM scheme provides employer contribution exemptions for overseas SMEs — including IT companies. The Odoo Payroll module (French localisation) allows LODEOM brackets to be configured: competitiveness, enhanced competitiveness, innovation and growth. A mainland integrator will not know these specifics. We do.
The Odoo market in Reunion Island has 2 to 3 official partners on odoo.com, plus several uncertified integrators. ECLAUD IT focuses on infrastructure and security — the link that is most often missing between the functional integrator and the end user.

For pure functional integration (module customisation, bespoke development), we work in collaboration with certified integrators. The benefit: you have a single IT point of contact in Reunion Island for your entire IT environment, Odoo included.
Can we migrate from Sage or Cegid to Odoo?
Yes. The migration involves exporting your data (customers, suppliers, items, accounting entries, commercial history), configuring Odoo for your business, importing the data with integrity checks, and training your teams. We plan this over 4 to 8 weeks depending on the volume of data. Return on investment is generally achieved within 12 to 18 months through licence savings.

Yes. Odoo supports French localisation including DOM-TOM VAT rates: 8.5% (standard rate, Reunion), 2.1% (reduced rate), 1.05% (super-reduced rate). The French chart of accounts is built in. DOM-specific fiscal rules (octroi de mer, recoverable uncollected VAT) require additional configuration, which we handle.
Is Odoo compatible with the 2026 e-invoicing requirements?
Yes. Odoo includes an e-invoicing module compatible with the Factur-X (CII/UBL) formats. From September 2026, all companies must be able to receive electronic invoices. Sending will be mandatory for SMEs from September 2027. We configure the module and connect you to an Approved Platform (PA) for transmission. See our complete guide to e-invoicing 2026.

We recommend option 2 for Reunion-based SMEs that want performance and resilience.
