How Odoo Turned Me Into a Multitasking Powerhouse

To all multitaskers out there! I’ve got a confession to make: at work, I often find myself doing the work of what feels like 10 different people. Employee management, sales, purchasing, website editing, invoicing, you name it, it’s on my plate. Sounds exhausting right? Honestly, I can’t imagine doing all of these tasks without the help of my not-so-secret superpower: Odoo

Let me tell you how Odoo transformed my workflow and turned me into a productivity machine:

A Day in the Life: Multitasking Madness

Can you imagine that I’m responsible for tracking employees’ QIDs and health card renewals, employee appraisals, and time off requests? At the same time, I’m also creating and tracking sales orders, managing purchase orders, generating invoices, and handling credit control tasks. Oh, and did I mention I’m also in charge of creating and updating contacts, editing the company website, and writing content? It feels like I’m spinning plates, hoping none of them crash. But the truth is that I’m not a superhero. The real hero who helps me manage all of these responsibilities without breaking a sweat is Odoo.

How Odoo Does the Heavy Lifting

Let me break it down for you. Odoo isn’t just a tool, it’s like having a whole team working alongside me. It helps me handle every aspect of my job efficiently, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be able to do what I do in the same amount of time and efficiency without it.

Employee Management: Odoo keeps me organized when it comes to employee management. Whether it's tracking QIDs and health card renewals, scheduling performance appraisals, or managing time off requests, Odoo does the hard work for me. I don’t have to juggle spreadsheets or manually update records, Odoo automates it all. It's like having a personal assistant who never forgets a deadline.

Sales and Purchasing: Dealing with sales and purchases used to be a time-consuming task. However thanks to Odoo, that's a thing of the past. Now, I can effortlessly create and monitor sales orders, generate purchase orders, and manage invoices efficiently. Odoo allows me to track the status of every order in real time, keep an eye on the sales funnel progress, and send out invoices swiftly via email using smart automated templates. And the best part? No longer need to double-check data across different systems, Odoo centralizes everything. ​

Credit Control: Odoo’s automated credit control system is another lifesaver. It automatically blocks customer accounts based on specific conditions, ensuring that we maintain control over finances. My role? I review the blocks and unlock accounts when appropriate, based on the criteria Odoo helps us set. It’s a perfect blend of automation and manual oversight, allowing me to ensure financial control without being buried in the details.

Contact Management: I used to spend way too much time updating contact lists in endless Excel sheets and manually ensuring everything was up to date across multiple platforms. Odoo took that headache away completely. Now, it automatically syncs and updates contacts across the board, creating detailed profiles for each contact. From addresses and bank accounts to essential documents, everything is stored in one place. This means I never have to worry about missing details or outdated information again.

Website Editing and Content Writing: Here’s where Odoo really surprised me. Not only does it help with the backend of the business, but it also makes website editing and content management a breeze. With Odoo’s easy-to-use interface, I can update our website and tweak content on the fly. No need for coding skills or outside help. It saves me hours every week, and it’s actually kind of fun!

Odoo’s ability to integrate and automate tasks across so many different areas has allowed me to work smarter, not harder. I’m not spending hours on repetitive tasks anymore. Instead, I’m focusing on the things that really matter, like growing the business and creating awesome content.

So, if you’re like me an employee trying to balance what feels like a hundred different tasks, I highly recommend using Odoo as your magical wand. It’s saved me countless hours, reduced my stress, and made me more productive than I ever thought possible.
