We've got an online shop with 5M daily requests. We figured out it was better to build the tech in-house to control the entire UX– custom shop, checkout flow, exchanges, labels, inventory speed and rotation.

Next step was moving all the fulfillment, purchasing and BOM parts over to a proper ERP system, like Odoo. Apart from one developer time, it costs us under $100 to run (the CDN costs the most).

Now we're pulling everything together under one UX. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it was fun to build and it's been a game-changer for us.

This is quite interesting. We are following a similar path in my company. Moved from a proprietary CMS to a headless one (strapi) to extend it as desires and control the UI/UX completely and also moving to Odoo as an ERP. Any advices on this? What do you mean by pulling everything together under one UX? Thanks in advance!
Do you (or anyone) have feedback about Odoo? I've read quite a bit of bad feedback online.
Blog post please!
