Transforming Our Cattle Farm with Odoo Community

Running a cattle farm in Paraguay presents unique challenges — especially when managing operations across three distinct locations. At Estancia Agapé, our goal has always been to stay grounded in tradition while embracing innovation to grow sustainably and efficiently. This is why we turned to Odoo Community, and the results have exceeded our expectations.

Why Odoo?

We evaluated various systems before choosing Odoo Community. The reasons were clear:

• Open-source and customizable
• Robust set of features for inventory, accounting, and logistics
• Large and active global community
• No licensing fees

But what truly made the difference was the ability to host the service online.

Online Hosting: The Game-Changer

With three remote farm locations, we needed a centralized system that could be accessed by our teams from anywhere. Hosting Odoo online gave us:

• Real-time synchronization between sites
• Simplified workflows for staff in the field and in the office
• Remote oversight of stock, sales, and expenses
• Reduced IT burden thanks to external hosting partners

We now manage cattle inventory, pasture usage, vet schedules, and financial records in a single system, accessible securely from any device.

The Results

Since implementing Odoo Community:

• Manual paperwork has dropped by over 80%
• Daily operational reports are instantly available to management
• Staff collaboration has improved across all sites
• Decision-making is faster and data-driven

What used to take days now takes minutes.

Looking Ahead

We are continuing to expand our use of Odoo Community by integrating additional modules and exploring mobile app features for field use.

For other agricultural businesses in Paraguay or Latin America, we highly recommend considering open-source ERP systems like Odoo. With the right setup and a cloud-based approach, even the most traditional industries can benefit from modern tools.
