Asociación Española de Odoo

What Asociación Española de Odoo does

Asociación Española de Odoo (AEOdoo) is a Spanish nonprofit association founded in 2017 that serves as the official community hub and representative body for Odoo ERP users, implementation companies, and developers in Spain. Registered under Spain's Ley Orgánica 1/2002 with NIF G87846952 and headquartered in Madrid, the association was established by nine CEOs from founding member companies to consolidate a previously fragmented Spanish Odoo ecosystem that traces back to the arrival of TinyERP in 2007. AEOdoo's primary functional mission is the adaptation of the open-source Odoo platform to Spanish legislation and language, achieved through coordination of the l10n-spain localization modules maintained under the Odoo Community Association (OCA). The organization serves three core member segments: Odoo implementation companies (its primary constituency of 110+ member firms), Odoo end-user companies seeking localized ERP solutions, and OCA contributors developing Spanish localization modules.

The association operates a portfolio of products and programs including: (1) the l10n-spain localization modules covering Odoo versions 9 through 17+ with Spanish fiscal compliance features such as VERIFACTU; (2) a standardized Castilian Spanish translation guide (es_ES); (3) paid technical training and certification programs including the 60-hour Base Technical Odoo Course and the Spanish Localization Course; (4) the annual Jornadas Odoo national conference running since 2008; and (5) a community forum, Discord server, and YouTube channel for ongoing engagement. AEOdoo maintains formal partnerships with Odoo S.A. (the upstream vendor) and OCA (the global open-source community), as well as GTM partnerships with service providers (AGM Seguros, Coompliance, Kvar Consultores, Contaldia) to deliver member discounts on insurance, fiscal advisory, and government subsidy services.

AEOdoo's business model is financed primarily through three revenue streams: annual membership dues of €400 (VAT-exempt), paid technical and localization training courses, and referral/commission income from supplier discount arrangements. The association is governed by a seven-member volunteer board of directors elected by the general assembly, with Albert Cabedo (Contaldia CEO) as Treasurer, Pedro M. Baeza as President, and Ignacio Ibeas (Acysos founder) responsible for Spanish localization. The organization explicitly disclaims any profit motive, with all funds required to support association purposes and prohibited from benefiting individual members.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Odoo S.A. The parent platform vendor whose ERP software AEOdoo's members implement and localize. Not a peer in mission, but a key ecosystem counterpart and the strategic partner with whom AEOdoo maintains direct representation channels.
• ASOLIF (Asociación de Empresas de Software Libre y Open Source): Broader Spanish open-source software industry association. While not Odoo-specific, ASOLIF operates a similar membership-association model advocating for open-source vendors in Spain and provides adjacent networking and policy advocacy relevant to AEOdoo members.

Direct peers

• Odoo Community Association (OCA): The international umbrella organization for Odoo community development; AEOdoo is a national affiliate and direct partner, making OCA the closest structural and functional peer in terms of mission and localization governance.
• Associazione Italiana Odoo: Italian Odoo community association performing the equivalent role of AEOdoo in Italy: national jornadas, Italian localization coordination through OCA, and a member network of implementation partners.
• French Odoo Community (OCA France / Odoo Community France): National-level Odoo community associations analogous to AEOdoo but serving France, operating with similar localization, training, and event-driven community models across a parallel European market.
• Belgian Odoo Community / OCA Belgium: Another national Odoo community within the OCA umbrella, operating similarly to AEOdoo with national eventos, localization coordination (l10n-belgium), and partner enablement for the Belgian market.
• Asociación Mexicana de Odoo: Mexican counterpart community association for Odoo in the Spanish-speaking LATAM market; comparable structure, mission, and localization focus (es_MX), though at an earlier stage of maturity than AEOdoo.

Others

• Eclipse Foundation: A mature, internationally recognized open-source foundation that hosts working groups and community-driven projects, providing a governance and operational model reference for what AEOdoo could evolve into as an open-source community steward.

Emerging players

• Tecnativa S.L. Spanish Odoo partner with 14 official certifications and #1 OCA contributor status in 2022-2024; a heavyweight member of AEOdoo whose continued leadership in OCA contributions reinforces AEOdoo's localization mandate but whose individual brand may compete for community mind-share.
• Forgeflow S.L. Spanish Odoo Gold partner and among the top 10 worldwide by Odoo apps published; operates within AEOdoo's member ecosystem but is itself a scaled Odoo implementation firm that could partially substitute for AEOdoo-led training and certification services.
