Meet Odoo 14
Odoo has been improved (again) with version 14. It's more beautiful, it's faster, the user experience is enjoyable,
A lot of attention has been given to the Website Builder, Manufacturing, Inventory Forecast and Replenishment modules.
A fantastic new feature named Spreadsheet allows you to dig into your data and build great reporting. Business Intelligence in Odoo is becoming a reality!
A major technical news is the introduction of OWL, Odoo Website Library, which will bring the user experience to a whole new level in the coming versions...
Inventory management just got a lot better with Odoo 14
Every year in October, a new version of Odoo is released during Odoo Experience, an intensive 3 days event held in Belgium. Among the news, I think that the most valuable for Odoo users was the set of improvements brought to the inventory management.
The barcode app is part of odoo enterprise, but the community version still benefits from the 2 new features for Stock Forecast and Replenishment.
Stock Forecast and Replenishment are two great features facilitating the daily tasks related to stock management significantly. And it won't only benefit the warehouse team, but also the Sales and Purchase teams.
Spreadsheet: business intelligence within Odoo
This Enterprise only feature, introduced in Odoo 14, might justify that you want to use Odoo Enterprise. It can help you build your own reporting to compare your budget with actual revenues and expenses, calculate sales commissions, compute sales forecast...
You will feel as if you are using a Google Spreadsheet or Excel, with the possibilities to access real time data of your favorite ERP, format your reports, generate graphs... That's all you need to stay on top of your business.
Discover the new Odoo Website Builder in version 14
For a few years, the drag & drop of blocks in the website builder made it really intuitive to build a website.
Now, it has become really easy to customize colors, size, position, background, image quality... Building your website with Odoo is a very pleasant experience where you can focus on creativity and your content without having to face any technical challenges.
And then, transform your ERP into a fully integrated e-commerce platform in just a few clicks. No need for complex data synchronizations and multi-technologies architecture. With Odoo it is straightforward: all-in-one , all in the same place!
This website was created without a single line of custom code and only using the out of the box features of Odoo.
