Real-world example

A Lagos logistics firm with 40 users wanted a custom route-planning integration. Odoo Online couldn't run the Python module, so the consultant recommended Odoo.sh on the Custom plan, with Light User seats for 25 drivers who only update deliveries. The licence audit showed two drivers had been given Sales rights by mistake, making them full users; removing that right saved real money every month.
