Myzan or Odoo? Why finishing engineers choose Myzan
Why Myzan fits finishing engineers and interior-design offices better than a general ERP like Odoo: running on day one with no implementer, Arabic-first, with cash custody, engineer fees, per-project profit and a client portal, at published EGP prices.

The short answer
Odoo is a general global ERP priced per user, and mid-size and larger companies usually set it up with an implementation partner. Myzan is built for finishing engineers and offices: it runs on day one with no implementer, in Arabic, with cash custody, engineer fees, per-project profit and a client portal ready, from EGP 349 a month.
What a finishing office needs, ready in Myzan
- Cash custody: a balance per supervisor or site engineer, who logs spending from the phone with a receipt photo. See cash custody.
- Engineer fee models: percentage of spend, per square metre, fixed or all-inclusive, with net profit per project worked out automatically.
- Client portal: a link where the client follows payments and project spending, with no account. See client portal.
- Quotations that become projects, with a client payment schedule.
- Office accounting: treasuries, salaries, recurring costs and the office’s net profit. See office accounting.
- Team roles: site engineers and procurement each see only their own expenses.
- AI import from your existing Excel sheets.
- Document codes and vouchers: every transaction has a document number, with receipt and payment vouchers ready to share.
- Arabic-first, in finishing terms, and running on day one with no cost-centre setup or implementer.
- Works alongside Odoo if you need it: export a project as CSV and use each Myzan document number (e.g. TXN-0042) as the journal entry Reference.
