AI-native vs traditional interface

Odiverse is built around Odi, an AI team member that executes tasks, explains concepts and flags issues proactively. Sage relies on a traditional menu-driven interface that requires you to know where everything is.

Cloud-first, not cloud-adapted

Odiverse was designed for the cloud from day one — real-time bank feeds, automatic backups, access from any device. Sage’s cloud products still carry the complexity of their desktop heritage, and some features require separate modules.

Talk to your accounts in plain English

Ask Odi "What’s my VAT liability this quarter?" or "Create an invoice for Dublin Design Co" and it’s done. No navigating menus, no training courses. Your accountant can access the same data and collaborate in real time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I migrate from Sage to Odiverse?

Yes. We import your chart of accounts, customer and supplier records, open invoices and historical transactions. If you’re on Sage 50 desktop, we handle the data export for you. Most migrations complete within one to two business days.

Will my accountant be able to use Odiverse?

Absolutely. Odiverse supports accountant access with dedicated permissions. Many Irish accountancy practices are already familiar with cloud platforms, and Odi’s plain-English interface means less training time compared to Sage’s traditional menus.

Does Odiverse handle Irish payroll and PAYE?

Yes. Odiverse calculates PAYE, PRSI and USC automatically, generates payslips, and is ready for Revenue Online Service submissions. Everything is included in your plan — no separate payroll add-on required.
