Businesses need tools that can handle complexity while remaining simple - particularly when it comes to managing projects - and Odoo delivers just that. Offering a powerful platform for managing service projects, product-based projects and everything in between, let's explore how Odoo can support your business, and why it is the solution you've been looking for.
Odoo for Service Projects: Core Capabilities
Odoo can handle a full range of projects - from purely service-driven initiatives to those involving complex product requirements. While Odoo was initially designed primarily for service-based projects surrounding labour and services, OptimySME has implemented programming that supports the consumption of products within projects and integrates seamlessly with purchasing systems.
Enhancing Collaboration: Client Integration with Odoo
A standout feature of Odoo is its ability to integrate both internal and external parties into projects:
Dedicated Project Email
Each project can have its own email address - emails sent to this address are automatically added to the project, ensuring no communication gets lost.
Client Portal Access
Clients can be granted secure portal access where they can view project details, track tasks, add notes, and stay up to date on progress.
This level of integration builds transparency and collaboration, making it much easier to keep clients informed and engaged throughout the project life cycle.
Task Management: Efficiency and Organisation
As tasks are central to all projects, Odoo focuses on a robust set of tools to assist in task management:
Parent-Child Tasks
Main tasks can be created with sub-tasks branching off or under - this helps with better organisation.
Planning Tools
The ability to set start and end dates for tasks, allocate multiple resources, and track progress in real time.
Gantt View
Visualise timelines and resource allocation with Odoo's Gantt view, which is perfect for simultaneously planning multiple projects.
With these features, businesses can manage even the most complex of projects while maintaining complete and clear visibility over progress and resource allocation.
Reporting and Analytics with Odoo: Informed Decision-Making
Project reporting is transported to a whole new playing field with Odoo's built-in analytic project accounting - every financial transaction related to any project is automatically tagged. This allows businesses to generate profit and loss reports by project without the extra time and manual effort!
Odoo also allows for the comparison of milestones across multiple projects on its dashboards, giving you the ability to track projects against your KPIs.
