An ERP system in Jordan costs two things: the software, and the work to set it up for your company. With Odoo or SAP Business One you pay a licence per user, every month or every year, plus a partner to implement it. With a custom ERP you pay for the build once, in phases, and own the code. For a small or mid-size company the total over three years is set less by the licence than by the number of users, the modules you need, data migration, training and integrations such as JoFotara. This guide explains each cost line so you can read ERP quotes side by side. All dollar figures are converted at the fixed rate of about 0.709 JOD to the US dollar.
ERP prices at a glance
| Option | How you pay | Typical licence cost | Also budget for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odoo, Standard plan | Per user, per month or per year | Listed per user per month on odoo.com. The price shown changes by country and billing term, with a discount in the first 12 months | A partner to set it up, training, data migration |
| Odoo, Custom plan | Per user, plus hosting | Close to double the Standard plan when we checked in October 2026 | Hosting on Odoo.sh or your own server, development of custom modules |
| SAP Business One | Per user licence plus yearly maintenance, or a cloud subscription | Third-party price guides typically put a Professional user at about 3,000 US dollars or more (about 2,130 JOD) one-time, plus 18 to 22% a year for maintenance, or about 100 US dollars (about 71 JOD) or more per user per month in the cloud | A certified partner, add-ons, hardware or hosting |
| Open source (Odoo Community, ERPNext) | No licence fee | None | Setup, hosting and support, and features that exist only in paid editions |
| Custom ERP | One-time build per phase | No licence. At Saree3 a first version of a custom system starts from 4,500 JOD, and an ERP is fixed per phase after a short discovery | Hosting on your own cloud account, a care plan after launch |
No vendor publishes a single ERP price for Jordan, and partners quote by scope. Treat any figure without a scope behind it as a guess.
Licence or ownership
A licence is rent. You pay for every user, every month or year, for as long as you use the system. In return you get a product that already works, regular updates and a large pool of partners. The cost grows with your team: adding ten users adds ten licences.
Ownership is the opposite trade. You pay more at the start for a custom build, then pay for hosting and a care plan. Adding users costs almost nothing. You own the code and the data, and the screens follow your process instead of the other way round. The risk moves to you: you need a company that documents the system, hands over the code and stays available for changes.
Many companies mix the two. They keep a ready-made accounting or ERP product for the books, and build the part that is specific to them around it: a field sales app, a production screen, a customer portal. Our Odoo against custom comparison covers when each one wins.
A quick way to estimate three-year licence cost
For a per-user product the arithmetic is simple: users, times the monthly price per user, times 36 months, plus implementation. For example, at a cloud price of 100 US dollars per user per month, 20 users cost 72,000 US dollars over three years, about 51,050 JOD, before the partner's fee. At a lower plan price the same arithmetic gives a lower total, so ask each vendor for the price that applies to your country and billing term, and the price after any first-year discount ends.
Modules that move the price
An ERP is a set of modules. Each one adds setup, training and testing, in a ready-made product and in a custom build alike.
- Inventory across warehouses and branches. Transfers, stock counts, batches and expiry dates add rules and reports.
- Manufacturing. Bills of materials, production orders and product costing are among the heaviest modules to set up.
- Point of sale. Tills in branches, cash drawers and offline sales.
- Purchasing and suppliers. Purchase orders, receiving and approvals.
- Accounts. Chart of accounts, receivables, payables, cheques and bank reconciliation.
- HR and payroll. Salaries, leave, attendance and social security deductions.
- JoFotara e-invoicing. Companies in scope must send every invoice and credit note to the tax department. Some products include it, others need an add-on or a JoFotara integration.
- Integrations. An online store, a mobile app for field staff, payment gateways or a link to a system you keep.
The cheapest ERP project is the one that starts with the module that hurts most, goes live, and adds the rest in phases.
Implementation and training costs
Odoo's own pricing page says implementation services are not included in any plan. The same is true of SAP Business One and of most products: the partner who sets it up is a separate cost, and it is often larger than the first year of licences. A typical implementation includes:
- Discovery. Workshops to write down how your company buys, sells, stores and reports.
- Configuration or development. Settings, workflows, invoice layouts and permissions, or custom screens.
- Data migration. Items, customers, suppliers, opening stock and opening balances, cleaned and imported.
- Training. Sessions for each role, from storekeepers to the finance manager.
- Go-live support. The first weeks of real use, when most questions come up.
Ask every partner how many days each step takes and what happens when you need something outside the scope. Change requests after go-live are where budgets slip.
Costs that are not in the quote
| Cost | Why it appears later |
|---|---|
| New users | Per-user licences grow with the team, including staff who only check stock or approve orders |
| Price after the first year | Introductory discounts end and the full rate applies |
| Hosting | Self-hosted or private cloud setups need a server, backups and monitoring |
| Upgrades | Custom modules on a ready-made ERP must be updated for each new version |
| Support | Yearly maintenance or a support contract after the warranty period |
| Integrations | JoFotara, payment gateways, online stores and apps are often priced separately |
| Internal time | Your staff spend hours on workshops, testing and data cleaning |
How to compare ERP quotes
Put every quote into the same table before you compare prices:
- Total cost over three years, with licences, implementation, hosting and support listed separately.
- The number of users the price assumes, and the cost of each extra user.
- Which modules are included, and which are listed as later phases.
- Whether JoFotara invoices, credit notes and returns are included and tested on a real invoice.
- Who owns the data, where it is hosted, and how you export it if you leave.
- Who owns custom code, and whether it is handed over.
- How many training sessions, for which roles.
- Response times for support after go-live.
- A reference company in Jordan using the same product or the same team.
A quote that is far lower than the others usually leaves out one of these lines. Ask which one.
