A chatbot will perfectly complement Live Chat. It can be used for sales and lead generation. It can also improve the experience of your potential job candidates while you are away. The bot will help you find the job advertisement or other necessary information by asking questions and offering multiple-choice answers.

New app - Knowledge

It can be challenging to manage all the information available in your company, and Knowledge will help you to deal with it. It can be used individually or in a team. Here you can create guides, to-do lists, and more.

Odoo Knowledge Module

As all apps are integrated, you can access Knowledge documents from any other app. For example, you can create a database of best-selling products, and salespeople will know what to recommend to their customers.

By storing user manuals or brochures in the Knowledge app, the seller can easily attach this document when contacting a potential buyer. For example, in the CRM app (when opening a request for a quote), it is possible to send the customer a catalog of products stored in the Knowledge app in a message.

Coupons and promotions

In the previous version of Odoo, Gift Cards were only available in e-commerce and point-of-sale, but not in sales orders. On the other hand, loyalty cards were only available at the point of sale.
