In June, Odoo introduced the third update of version 18 - Odoo 18.3 release, which traditionally brings a number of improvements, new features, and AI tools. As an Odoo integrator and Gold-partner in Ukraine, the ToDo team has prepared a brief overview of what has changed and how it can be applied to your business.
Odoo 18.3: improving the interface and UX
The new version has significantly improved usability: it is now easier to work with Kanban boards, actions, contacts, and messages. For example, there are no more blocking pop-ups - they have been replaced with unobtrusive notifications at the top of the screen.
What does it do?
Faster navigation, fewer distractions - more productivity.
AI in practice in Odoo 18.3
Artificial intelligence in Odoo is no longer just a "feature" but a real tool:
- Auto-complete fields based on context
- Generate letters and resumes
- Tips in CRM
- Automatically update fields with server actions
As an integrator, we see potential in using AI to reduce the routine work of sales managers, analysts, and even accountants.
CRM, Sales and Signature
The CRM module now offers analytics of chances of success using AI. Contacts can be created from business card scans, which is useful for exhibitions and conferences.
Salespeople got flexible commission settings and work with customer wallets on the portal.
Signature allows you to move fields in groups and send multiple documents in one request.
E-commerce: SEO, abandoned carts, filters
For online stores, it's a real breakthrough: improved SEO, URL duplication avoidance, advanced filters, and improved abandoned cart management.
There is also an integration with Google Merchant Center - products can be automatically published in feeds.
Warehouse and Production in Odoo 18.3
Serial numbers, routing, flexible separation of production orders, a new overview of specifications - all this makes life much easier for manufacturing companies that use Odoo as an MES or ERP.
Accounting
There is a consolidated annual report, duplicate account warnings, a new module for tax returns, and improvements in localizations (including tax positions).
ESG - a new vector
The new ESG module allows companies to automatically collect data on CO₂ emissions, the wage gap, the number of women in the team, etc. This is a must-have for large companies.
Why is it important?
Odoo continues to grow not just as a ERPbut as a full-fledged business platform. More and more companies in Ukraine are switching to Odoo, and we at ToDo help make this transition painless and efficient. Need advice or an upgrade to 18.3?
