It is in this context of digital transformation that Odoo, the all-in-one software platform, is launching its version Odoo 19.This new version represents a series of targeted improvements aimed at making the tool smarter, more intuitive and more precise for the everyday user.

Explore in this article the improvements in Odoo19 that increase accuracy, automation and productivity.

I. What's new in ODOO 19: improved precision and reliability

Odoo targets friction points and repetitive tasks, transforming each module into a true precision tool. This is embodied in the following modules:

A. Accounting & Purchasing Module: Secure Financial Flows with Odoo 19

The management of external and internal transactions is optimized for total traceability:

• Automated and centralized payment monitoring: Thanks to the easy integration of major providers (such as Stripe, Mercado Pago, Paymob, Iyzico, DPO), tracking expenses and payments becomes smooth and reliableYour financial manager has access to all transactions in a single table. This will significantly eliminate common errors related to manual re-entry and secure decision-making.

• Granular budget control : Better management of analytical accounts allows for more flexible cost allocation. 

For example, within the company, you can track the expenses of a single employee with precision by project or department. This will help strengthen budget consistency and visibility.

B. Payroll & Human Resources Module: Simplifying Administrative Processes with Odoo 19

The administrative and HR side gains in structure and reliability, allowing managers to focus on people:

• Optimized payroll workflows: Pay slip validation processes are now better structured. This pragmatic improvement streamlines the procedure and significantly reduces the risk of administrative errors.

By optimizing these processes, companies not only gain accuracy, they also improve their cost control. 

C. Manufacturing (MRP) & Inventory module: visual views and reliable logistics

Supply chain and shop floor teams gain tools to better anticipate and execute:

• Visual planning of production orders: Odoo 19 introduces tools interactifs et visuels for planning. A production manager can check the availability of components for each critical step of an order. This drastically reduces the risk of stockouts and delays in production.

• Precise management of units and packaging: This is a major logistical gain. Odoo now manages packaged products more precisely (by pallet, by box, by unit). This granularity makes inventory more reliable, simplifies invoicing, and optimizes supply planning for complex flows.

D. Spreadsheet module: analytical autonomy with Odoo 19

Odoo 19 empowers non-developer users to create complex reports without using an external BI tool:

• Enhanced functions for analysis: The integration of powerful functions such as TEXTAFTER, TEXTBEFORE and REGEXEXTRACT allows your analysts to process and extract sophisticated data directly into Odoo spreadsheets.

• Multi-model pivot tables: It is now possible to generate a single cross-tabulation combining data from several modules simultaneously . For example, there are sales, inventory, costs, etc. It is the perfect tool for a holistic performance monitoring per product.

E. Website & eCommerce module: streamline the customer experience

The customer journey is optimized to maximize satisfaction and conversion:

• Payment Flexibility: The customer portal now supports partial payments. Offering the option to pay for a package or service in installments improves the experience and increases the likelihood of a sale.

• Ergonomics and Sales: The module benefits from building blocks More flexible features, mega-menus, and integrations like WhatsApp. Added to this is a simplification of the handling of combined products (combos). These adjustments optimize the ergonomics and SEO efficiency of your platform.

These module-by-module advances streamline internal operations. But to truly transform business management, Odoo 19 is banking on innovations that go beyond traditional functions: Artificial Intelligence and User Experience.

II. AI and UX: Intelligent Productivity with Odoo 19

En plus d’optimiser les fonctions métier, Odoo se concentre sur les leviers qui maximisent l’adoption et l’automatisation. L’intégration de l’intelligence artificielle et une expérience utilisateur repensée sont les garants d’une productivité accrue.

• “Low-Code” Server Actions: Odoo 19 allows administrators to create server actions to automate repetitive tasks (such as sending reminders or updating statuses) without requiring codeIt is a powerful autonomy tool for functional teams.

B. User Experience (UX): Less Friction, More Adoption

User experience is a key factor in software adoption. Odoo 19's targeted improvements ensure employees focus on their work, not the complexity of the interface:

• Redesigned VOIP interface: The call management interface has been simplified. Critical features such as transfer, hold, and recording are now more clearly accessible. The goal is to reduce errors and minimize the training time required by support teams.

• Smoother navigation and search: The custom filters improve the search for documents and information. This makes it easier to navigate a data-heavy environment, allowing users to find what they need more quickly.

• Kanban and activity optimization: The kanban view benefits from a compact design for adding steps, optimizing screen space. In addition, creatingactivities can be done directly from “My Activities” without required field, making task tracking more flexible and less restrictive.
