If you’re an Odoo fan like us, you’ve probably been waiting eagerly for Odoo 18. With new features across various modules, Odoo 18 is packed with powerful upgrades to enhance functionality and user experience. 

Let’s take a closer look at the exciting changes it brings to the table and see how Aegona can help you unlock its full potential.

I. General improvements in Odoo 18

Odoo 18 introduces several general improvements designed to make day-to-day operations smoother. One key update is Grouping by Fields, which lets users group lists even with unsaved related fields—no more juggling between menus to find what you need! Another noteworthy change is the renaming of “Consumables” to “Goods”, providing more clarity to users. Additionally, you can now add products directly from the catalog view, saving time for teams managing large inventories.

These improvements streamline operations, reduce confusion, and provide better visibility, ensuring users can focus on what matters most: growing their business.

1. Sales and POS features

Odoo 18 is loaded with features to boost sales and simplify operations at the point of sale. The Sales Commissions module stands out—it allows businesses to set commission rules based on various metrics like margins, invoiced quantity, and recurring revenue. For loyalty enthusiasts, the Loyalty in Portal feature enables personalized loyalty cards, turning customers into long-term fans.

On the POS side, things just got more seamless. You can now create products directly from the POS interface and look them up with barcodes. Additionally, variant products are available within the POS system, providing flexibility like an eCommerce store.

Pro tip: Use the revamped PDF Quote Builder 2.0 to generate polished, customized quotes and impress potential customers.

2. Upgraded eCommerce capabilities

Selling online? Odoo 18 brings powerful eCommerce upgrades that improve user experience and increase conversion rates. A new location selector widget lets customers precisely choose pick-up points, while the single-page checkout streamlines the buying process. For returning customers, the “Sign-In” button in the checkout encourages registration, helping you grow your subscriber base.

A standout feature is the ability to display multiple warehouses and stock availability on product pages, ensuring better inventory management. Plus, with enhanced SEO functionalities, your store will be more visible to search engines, attracting more organic traffic.

3. Smarter inventory and purchase management

Efficiency is key in logistics, and Odoo 18 ensures your processes run like clockwork. With Batch Delivery Rounds, you can group multiple orders, reducing delivery times and boosting productivity. The new vehicle assignment feature ensures that deliveries are optimized by assigning batches to specific vehicles. These improvements not only save time but also reduce fuel consumption.

Another valuable addition is the revamped barcode app, now available as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for mobile devices. It centralizes all barcode-related activities, making inventory adjustments a breeze. You can even scan QR codes with mass data to improve order tracking and warehouse operations.

4. CRM and Accounting: A more integrated experience

Odoo 18 brings exciting enhancements to its CRM and accounting modules. In the CRM, the new Social Share app allows you to promote content with one click across multiple platforms, helping you grow your audience. The integration of WhatsApp in various flows like marketing and inventory adds seamless communication to the mix.

In accounting, the new invoicing dashboard offers an all-in-one view of key metrics, making financial management more straightforward. The lock date wizard is revamped, and users can now create quick reconciliations directly from the Kanban view. These features reduce the time spent on financial processes, giving your team more time to focus on strategic tasks.
