Business processes in Odoo are still too manual
Time lost on repetitive tasks
On a daily basis, many actions in Odoo still rely on low-value, manual work. Writing emails, completing product sheets, or responding to customers is time-consuming and often repetitive.
Teams constantly have to draft similar emails, enrich product listings, and craft replies to customer inquiries. While necessary, these tasks consume significant resources. At scale, they slow down operations and limit teams’ ability to focus on more strategic, high-impact work.
Limited use of AI
Despite the rise of artificial intelligence, its use within Odoo remains limited in many organizations. Teams often rely on scattered external tools (chatbots, text generators, etc.) that are not connected to their ERP.
As a result, information becomes fragmented and workflows are split across multiple steps. Without native integration, it is difficult to fully leverage the potential of AI at the core of business processes. Users have to switch between tools, creating friction and disrupting overall workflow efficiency.
Impact on productivity
This lack of automation and integration has a direct impact on overall business performance. The consequences are quickly felt: slower processes, a higher risk of human error, and greater difficulty in standardizing operations.
As activity volumes grow, these inefficiencies become increasingly visible. Teams spend more time executing tasks than thinking strategically, and overall productivity suffers. Without an intelligent tool to automate and support users, Odoo remains underutilized in the face of today’s demands.
