Boost efficiency with Odoo 18's Barcode lookup

Odoo v18’s Barcode Lookup is a game-changer for automating and simplifying inventory management. Using an extensive barcode database, this feature lets you create products in seconds. Simply scan a barcode, and Odoo automatically retrieves product information, including supplier details, directly from the database.

This eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing errors and improving stock management. By automating repetitive tasks, you save valuable time, better organize your inventory, and focus on strategic activities. Whether you need more accurate inventory tracking or simplified management, Barcode Lookup provides enhanced control and responsiveness.

Simplified event management via POS

With Odoo v18, event management is streamlined thanks to the direct integration of ticket sales into the POS interface. This feature allows you not only to sell event tickets but also to print personalized badges with barcodes, making participant identification easier and check-ins faster.

Additionally, real-time ticket management directly from the POS ensures complete control over the process. From event organization to ensuring a smooth participant experience, all data is centralized in one system, enabling optimal organization and improved responsiveness. You can manage the entire process, from ticket sales to on-site verification, with ease.

Streamline customer experience with new POS features

Efficiently handle simultaneous transactions with floating orders

Floating orders in Odoo 18 offer greater flexibility in managing transactions, especially during busy periods. If a customer isn’t ready to complete their payment, this feature allows you to place their order on hold without disrupting the workflow. You can move on to another customer while keeping the initial order active until it is finalized.

This feature simplifies the management of multiple simultaneous transactions, enhancing POS efficiency and reducing wait times for customers.

Easily correct payment errors with Odoo 18

Odoo 18 provides a flexible solution for managing payments, allowing you to correct errors after a transaction has been validated. Using a secure interface, an administrator can adjust the payment method in the back end without disrupting the sale or requiring complex cancellations.

This functionality ensures continuity in payment processing, minimizing confusion for customers and providing an effective follow-up in case of issues.

Simplify gift card management for smoother checkout

Gift card management has been redesigned to make creating and using gift cards easier than ever. The streamlined processes enable quick and intuitive card issuance, allowing customers to redeem them directly at checkout. This improvement optimizes cash register operations and ensures a seamless experience for your customers.

Easier invoice access

Accessing invoices has been greatly simplified. Customers can now retrieve their transaction documents independently by scanning a QR code printed on their receipt. This allows them to access their invoices anytime without requiring assistance, meeting demands for transparency and convenience while reducing your team’s administrative workload.

WhatsApp and payment integrations

Strengthen customer engagement with WhatsApp

With WhatsApp integration in the POS module, Odoo 18 offers a direct and interactive way to communicate with your customers through instant messages. You can send them their receipts immediately after purchase, ensuring quick and efficient follow-up transactions.
