Modular open-source ERP with an Egyptian e-invoicing localization

Odoo is a modular ERP whose apps cover accounting, inventory, project, sales and HR, sold as Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premise. Its Egyptian localization includes an ETA e-invoicing module, available since Odoo 15.0, and Odoo's partner directory lists 204 implementation partners in Egypt.

Pros

+ Egyptian e-invoicing module with ETA API, GS1/EGS codes and token signing
+ Accounting, inventory, project and HR apps in one system
+ Published prices, plus a free plan for a single app
+ 204 listed implementation partners in Egypt

Cons

− ETA signing needs a USB token and Odoo's Windows IoT middleware
− Construction workflows depend on apps and partner configuration
− Total cost adds partner implementation to licences
− List prices are in USD

Egypt note

Odoo's Egypt localization connects to the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoicing API: the company registers its ERP on the ETA portal, maps products to GS1 or EGS codes, and signs invoices with a USB token from the ETA or Egypt Trust through Odoo's Windows IoT middleware. Odoo says Egyptian e-invoicing is available from Odoo 15.0, and its directory lists 204 partners in Egypt.

Typical Egypt pricing: Standard US$8.95/user/month billed yearly or US$11.20 billed monthly (first 12 months discounted to $7.25 or $9.10 for initial users); Custom US$16.40 yearly or US$20.90 monthly (first year $13.40 or $16.90). One App Free: $0 for one app with unlimited users. Partner implementation is extra.

OrchidaTax

Tier A · Listed

E-invoicing integration layer linking ERP, accounting and POS systems to Egypt's ETA

OrchidaTax sells an e-invoicing integration layer that connects existing ERP, accounting and POS systems to tax-authority portals, including Egypt's ETA, Saudi Arabia's ZATCA and the UAE FTA. It lists connectors for SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Xero, QuickBooks and Sage 50, and offices in Cairo, Dubai and Riyadh. It is a compliance bridge, not an accounting system; OrchidaTax says its parent, OrchidaSoft, was founded in 1997.

Pros

+ Connects existing ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, Odoo) to the ETA
+ Covers ETA e-invoices and e-receipts
+ Cairo office listed
+ Also covers ZATCA and UAE FTA for regional groups

Cons

− Integration layer only; needs an ERP, accounting or POS system
− No public prices
− Little company background on its site
− Sales-led: pricing only through a quote

Egypt note

OrchidaTax says it supports ETA Model 41 e-invoicing and e-receipts with digital signature, instant submission and submission monitoring, and lists a Cairo office in New Nozha. It suits a business that already runs SAP, Oracle, Dynamics or Odoo and needs ETA submission without replacing that system.

Typical Egypt pricing: Quote-based; no public prices on orchidatax.com.
