Click to Checkout: How Odoo's Omnichannel Simplifies Your Retail Flow

July 16th, 2025
Juggling website orders, point-of-sale chaos, phone bookings, and inventory spreadsheets all at once... modern commerce? Feels like an international airport terminal.


What Is Omnichannel (& Why Should You Care)?

Omnichannel? Actually just a fancy word for something simple: giving every customer gets a smooth, connected and seamless shopping experience; whether they click, call, or walk into your shop. What's in it for you?A clear, up-to-date picture of your customers and stock. That’s not just 'nice to have', it’s what today’s customers expect.


How Odoo Makes Omnichannel Easy

Here’s where Odoo struts its stuff. 


No more wrestling with half a dozen disconnected tools:

​- All sales, in one place: Everything together, tracked step by step on website, in-store, or phone.

​- Smooth stock and payments: Take deposits for pre-orders, backorder missing items, split pickups and deliveries - Odoo handles the details, so your team doesn’t have to.

​- Easy for staff, magic for customers: Clear and straightforward operations, with less room for error and more time for real service.


Why It Matters for Kiwi Businesses

Most retailers are stuck with a maze of systems that don’t talk to each other. Website orders here, POS there, back-office further away, and accounts… somewhere else. 


Odoo’s omnichannel setup means:

​- Real-time stock and customer info everywhere you look.

​- Less double-handling and more sales saved from “oops, not in stock” moments.

​- Staff who know what’s happened without ten phone calls (or frantic Slack messages).


Seamless Orders, Happier Customers

With Odoo, an online order, a split payment, a backorder, or an in-store pickup all flows through the same system; no drama. Customers see your business as one smooth operation, not five patched together. Staff are less stressed and, let’s be honest, much nicer at the Friday drinks.
