Odoo is rapidly growing in Kenya, with thousands of businesses from Nairobi to Mombasa adopting the ERP platform to streamline their operations. However, implementing Odoo is only half the journey — functional training is what transforms a good ERP system into a great one.
Why Functional Training Matters for Kenyan Businesses
Many companies invest heavily in Odoo implementation but neglect the critical functional training component. The result? Low user adoption, underutilized features, and missed ROI opportunities.
The Cost of Untrained Users
- ❌ Low productivity: Users spend hours figuring out simple tasks
- ❌ Data errors: Incorrect entries lead to reporting inaccuracies
- ❌ Frustration: Employees resist using the system
- ❌ Wasted features: 60% of Odoo capabilities remain unused
- ❌ Support dependency: Constant reliance on external consultants
