Odoo 20 was just unveiled today at Odoo Experience 2026 in Brussels, during the opening keynote by founder and CEO Fabien Pinckaers. It's not generally available yet (that's still a few weeks out), but the direction is now official. Here's what's actually new. The headline: AI that takes action, not just answers Odoo 19 introduced AI that could answer questions. Odoo 20 pushes it further: agentic AI that can actually execute tasks inside your database. Think reassigning unclosed leads in CRM based on rules you set, or building a full project with stages and tasks straight from an uploaded document. What else is new Native MCP server (Enterprise): AI assistants can connect directly to your Odoo database without extra middleware. Database-wide natural language search: ask a plain-language question and get answers pulled straight from your records, no filters to configure. Redesigned mobile app: a rebuilt touch interface running on Owl 3, with offline se...

Setting up Odoo Inventory the right way from day one saves you months of manually fixing stock counts later. Here's the quick overview of what it takes. The 6 steps, at a glance 1. Warehouse structure — map out your locations before adding anything else. 2. Import vendors — add suppliers first, since products link to them for reordering. 3. Import products — set units, cost, and reorder info correctly from the start. 4. Initial stock count — your accurate baseline that everything else builds on. 5. Sales & purchase flows — connect Sales/CRM so stock updates automatically. 6. Replenishment rules — set minimum thresholds so reorders trigger themselves. The tricky part isn't any single step, it's getting the warehouse structure and initial counts right the first time, since mistakes there are harder to unwind later. Want it set up correctly without the trial and error? Reach out and I'll walk you through it for your business. ...

Most sales teams only use a fraction of what's actually sitting inside their Odoo CRM . If you're just logging contacts and dragging deals across a pipeline, you're missing the features that actually save hours every week. Here are the five worth setting up first. 1. The visual pipeline (and what most people miss about it) Odoo CRM's Kanban-style pipeline is the first thing every user sees: drag and drop deals between stages, assign salespeople, and track expected revenue at a glance. What a lot of teams skip is customizing the stages to match their actual sales process, instead of using the generic defaults. Keeping it to 4-7 clearly defined stages tends to outperform a long, overcomplicated pipeline. 2. AI lead scoring This is the feature most teams don't turn on, and it's one of the most useful. Odoo's predictive lead scoring learns from your own closed pipeline (deals you've won and lost) and builds a probability score for new leads based on pa...

Upgrading to Odoo 19 can bring real gains: faster performance, a cleaner interface, and deeper AI features across Sales, Accounting, and Inventory. But a migration that isn't planned properly can turn into days of firefighting instead of a smooth transition. Here's the checklist I walk clients through before any Odoo 19 upgrade. 1. Audit your current setup Before touching anything, get a full picture of what you're actually running. List every installed module, standard, third-party, and custom, and note which ones you actually still use. It's common to find modules that were installed once and forgotten. This is also the time to document your customizations and, importantly, why each one was made. That context matters later when deciding what's worth carrying forward. 2. Take a complete backup This step is non-negotiable. Create a full backup of your database and file store, and actually test that the restore works before you rely on it. A backup you've n...

Spreadsheets are great, until they're not. Most businesses start with a handful of Excel or Google Sheets files, and honestly, that's the right call early on. But there's a point where spreadsheets stop saving you time and start costing you money, mistakes, and hours you don't have. Here are five signs you've hit that point, and what to actually do about it. 1. You're copying the same data into multiple places If a new order means updating a sales sheet, then manually typing it into an invoicing tool, then updating a separate inventory list, you're not managing a business anymore. You're managing spreadsheets. Every manual re-entry is a chance for a typo, a missed update, or a number that doesn't match somewhere else. An ERP fixes this by connecting these functions. A confirmed sale in a tool like Odoo CRM can automatically update inventory and trigger an invoice, with zero re-typing. 2. Nobody's sure which version of the file is correc...

If you've heard the word "Odoo" thrown around and aren't quite sure what it actually is, you're not alone. It gets described as an ERP, a CRM, an accounting tool, and an inventory system, and honestly, it's all of those at once. Here's what Odoo actually is, explained without the jargon. So what is Odoo, really? Odoo is business management software that brings the different parts of running a company (sales, accounting, inventory, HR, and more) into one connected system instead of a dozen separate tools that don't talk to each other. In ERP terms, that's called Enterprise Resource Planning: basically, one place where all your business data lives and updates in real time. Here's the simplest way to picture it: when a sale gets confirmed in Odoo, your inventory count updates automatically, and an invoice gets generated, all without you re-entering that information three separate times in three separate tools. It's built like building b...
