Odoo 11 komt eraan!

What's new?

During the Odoo Experience 2017 on October 5, Odoo 11 will be launched. Odoo has indicated that version 11 will receive a few new modules, but mainly many improvements. We are so curious about what this version will bring us, that we have already started investigating. This is what we discovered.

Odoo Studio V2

Odoo Studio version 2 view

For the newcomers, Odoo Studio is the Odoo application that allows you to customize the existing Odoo Apps, such as changing fields or menus, without any code knowledge! Even better, you can create new applications in your Odoo database!

The Odoo Usability team has improved the entire interface and user experience of this powerful App. You can also now drag and drop new fields into your screen and undo your changes. Furthermore, you can also create and edit calendar, Gantt, pivot table views. The icons of the App are more customizable; You can even use your own icons! 

Sales dashboard

The sales dashboard has been renewed and provides a direct overview for every sales team! As a seller, you immediately want a good overview, and now Odoo gives you that. The charts are easily customizable and provide insight into sales, billing or leads, over time or per salesperson.

And here too, Odoo shows the power of integration. If you have also installed the Point of Sale, The webshop and the Odoo eBay Connector, you will also see these sales directly on your dashboard. This gives you a really complete picture of all your company's sales!

Odoo for service companies

If you provide services and work based on hours, Odoo 11 provides valuable improvements. Odoo adds, among other things, overviews to display billability.
