CRM: Achieve 360° Customer Vision With Odoo
Captivea USA, Sébastien RISS

For true digital transformation leaders, ERP and CRM are often seen as completely separate solutions with no real ability to work together. Yet, as we highlighted in our article ("5 good reasons to connect your CRM to your ERP"), strong interoperability between these two solutions is an excellent performance indicator of an organisation's digitisation progress.
You may be wondering how to achieve this. The simplest approach is to use an ERP with an integrated CRM. And you’re in luck. The Odoo ERP also comes with a very comprehensive CRM app. Here’s an overview of some of its key features.



Odoo: Built with the CRM that does it all

When companies are sourcing solutions to drive their sales force, focus usually falls on the big names in CRM such as SalesForce. However, using a big-name CRM does not necessarily guarantee success. Do you really need all the features of SalesForce to drive your SME?


To manage the customer relationships of SMEs, our preference – you guessed it – goes to Odoo and its complete and easy-to-use CRM application.


Fully integrated with the rest of the software’s ERP, The Odoo CRM module enables seamless collaboration between sales operations and customer management across the company’s processes. 


There are several benefits to this: 

- Anticipate orders and adjust production to accommodate any surge in activity.
- Use centralised databases to unify data between sales and other departments. 

There is nothing worse than a salesperson leaving a company and taking their prospect base with them. With Odoo, you keep control of all your contacts and support the data flows you want within your organisation.

In addition to traditional CRM features, Odoo offers totally intuitive navigation for maximum visibility over all the tasks your sales team needs to complete. On top of that, creating sales scripts helps set your sales team up for success. Odoo lets you create activities for lead follow-ups, making contact, tracking website clicks, scheduling reminders and demos, and more. Odoo puts you fully in control of all your key sales actions.

Full Integration With All Odoo Apps, Greater Agility

At the moment, you may only need a CRM. And when the time comes, you will probably quite naturally look for a dedicated sales solution to manage your sales. However, the needs of fast-growing SMEs will inevitably expand to the point where a CRM is no longer enough to properly manage their business. And in most cases, they then have to move quickly to keep up with the demands that come with the company’s increasing activity. 

Odoo CRM can then be integrated with other ERP functionalities, as easily as snapping Lego bricks together 

- Invoicing and Accounting

Once you've “closed” a sale, Odoo's invoicing module takes over. Create invoices based on the sales team’s previously established quotations. Payment and follow-up are clearly displayed in the ERP, and you can also accept online payments (PayPal, Stripe, Ingenico, etc.).

- Electronic Signature

No need to print documents just to get them signed. Odoo Sign is a secure electronic signature module that lets you quickly create custom signature blocks at the end of your documents, encrypt them so they are only accessible to authorised persons, and protect the contents of contracts and invoices by customising document access rights in a single click (for example, read-only or sign-and-fill).
