6 Ways Odoo 12 Website Builder Will Be a Game-Changer for Your Business

As was expected, the latest Odoo version 12 has made all the right industry-noise with its new and defining features. It’s more powerful than ever, packing marvel in abundance— right from enhanced inventory and expenses modules to refined invoicing, tracking and, of course, the highly-anticipated document management module.

Its enterprise website module, in specific, is no more a solution; with rich features and advanced infrastructure, it’s now a business-cum-life-saver. If you haven’t already tried it yet, here are 6 ways how Odoo 12 website builder will be a game-changer for your business:

1. Personalization like never before

Don’t rely on your web designer and developer for every little change on your website. It’s not good economics. And besides, you don’t really have to now! Don’t like that widget in the sidebar? Want to add products and payment option right on your homepage? Want to change how the navigation looks?

Odoo 12 makes things super easy with its intuitive drag-drop studio where you can virtually create a new website in a matter of 10-minutes. No coding skill required. You don’t need to be a tech-geek. It provides seamless options to customize your website with different themes, layouts and app integrations. So, enjoy personalization like never before.

2.Website management made easier

Managing a website is a whole different mess. And the bigger the website is, the more complicated it gets. From optimizing it regularly to fixing the technical glitches to posting new contents—it all requires time, energy and enough patience to deal with the average interface of any regular CMS.

But with Odoo website builder and Odoo CMS, it is as easy as it gets. You get a simpler, attractive and much intuitive interface that’s away from the technical complexities—more user-friendly with flexible options. In addition, compatible with your phone, irrespective of the kind of website you have, you can manage it easily on your phone on-the-go.

3. The multi-web functionality

Sometimes your ideas and goals require more than just one website; maybe you’re starting a new company or extending the existing one with a newer branch. The makers of Odoo understand this need well and beyond. Hence, the multi-site module.

Run multiple websites easily with one Odoo database. Enjoy seamless flow of data between them. Plug different features and facilities on each without losing yourself in the complexities. With Odoo 12, creating and managing multiple websites are easier than ever even for a newbie.

4. Scaling to the next level

Don’t be one of those businesses that never grow. Match your website growth with your ideas, plans, and dreams. Scale it to the next level—quickly and easily. With its flexible personalization option and Odoo’s hundreds of open-source applications, you can enable your website to achieve great things.

Integrate it with more apps, enhance its features, keep the website in sync with the progressive growth of your business, as well as the changing demands of your target audience. Odoo website builder, Odoo Website designed uniquely to empower business owners, always ensure your website is scaling with time.

5. Sky-high lead generation

Don’t be one of those marketers who struggle with high-traffic, poor conversion. Stay ahead in the game. Every time. Always. Odoo 12 website builder arms you with more than enough tools and features to make lead generation simpler.

Enable popups and sliders on the website. Position the opt-in forms in the right place to drive the maximum result. Leverage live chat, quizzes and floaters to advance your lead generation efforts and enjoy sky-high conversion.

6 .Informed decision-making with powerful analytics

Website analytics doesn’t have to be too confusing to even understand the numbers. Achieve higher business growth easily with informed decision-making. Robust, intensive and user-friendly—Odoo Link Tracker, built in the CMS, is one of the industry-best, promising to take your marketing campaigns to newer heights.

So, no more shooting in the dark. Gather insightful data, analyze ROI and make quick, informed and efficient decisions. Every change and campaigns on your website must now have empirical relevance.

Conclusion

This is a next-level website building and management. And, really, no less was expected from Odoo version 12. So, bank on the power of its website builder to leverage powerful features and advanced backend infrastructure. After all, your business idea isn’t mediocre—then why should your website builder and Odoo CMS be that?

Odoo IOT Box: Is This a Game-Changer for Manufacturers?

By 2020, the number of items connected to the internet is expected to cross the 50 billion mark. And by 2025, the global worth of IoT tech is projected at $6.2 trillion. These two numbers alone underline the kind of excitement there is around IoT (Internet of Things) which, the market pundits already believe, will have the greatest impact on the industrial economy. So, if you thought Industry 3.0 was kind of a big deal that welcomed automation in the mainstream, you would go head-over-heels with Industry 4.0 that promises opportunities in abundance. Yes, we are going to discuss about automation and data exchange.

The Basics

To begin with, in its most basic form, Internet of Things refers to the idea of everyday physical items being interconnected to each other and the internet. Common examples include television, lights and air-conditions. When they are powered by the internet, you can control them remotely using, say, an app on your Smartphone.

Today, this basic concept is stretched beyond the traditional definition across niches to achieve bigger goals. Companies around the world are employing this technology to pool more data, enhance their efficiency and minimize their cost among other purposes. While it has long been anticipated that IoT will redefine the manufacturing industry, it is only recently that it is coming to shape. Odoo IoT Box is a giant leap in that direction.

Welcome Odoo IoT Box

Odoo v12 has been released recently. The event was jam-packed. But what stood out and remained longer in memory was Odoo IoT Box. Here’s the launch video:

EMBED VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bYo5-fBLzE

Targeted at the manufacturing industry, the device is billed to have ‘endless possibilities’. The broad idea is to have your industrial hardware connected to the Odoo ERP to take automated actions and to record them directly in a centric database. However, with extensive and optimum deployment, Odoo IoT Box can certainly enable a lot more facilities to eventually advance your operational efficiency and profitability. It touts a range of benefits over other similar products, like effective data management on cloud, seamless network administration, and work order automation. In addition, one of its biggest USPs is easy connection and setup process. It can easily be integrated with your existing business flows.

The Many Benefits…

Up and close, Odoo IoT Box has many advanced features, including Quality Control that can help you gain time and eliminate encoding mistakes. But at large, with its optimum usage, you can do a lot more for your business in diverse ends, right from customer service and inventory management to forecasting and business intelligence.

One of its immediate benefits would be in making forecasts. Even when based on proven strategies, your existing forecasting process will have certain loopholes. Internet of Things can help fix this almost perfectly by transmitting real-time data from different point-of-sales inventory levels directly to the manufacturing plant. With this critical data, the producer can make immediate, informed decisions – be it whether to continue manufacturing or put a hold until the current stocks drain – to unlock higher profitability.

Of course, this real-time business intelligence will cascade to have many other benefits like easy monitoring, higher productivity, and actionable immediate-term goals.

Another impacting change IoT’s integration in the ERP solution would be in the customer service end. Earlier, manufacturers’ obligation would end once the product is shipped. This made customer retention a rather challenging task with the customer journey map relying heavily on concepts and ideas rather than hard data. Internet of Things can solve this to a large extent.

The Real-World Application

Say, if the final product is connected to the Internet, manufacturers can easily generate and transmit real-time performance data of the product, automatically triggering the call for maintenance and repair, if and when needed. They can always be in know about the wear-tear of the sold product that can not only help them with their retention strategy but can also provide with intensive data to make improvements in their next line of manufactured products. Example Odoo with IOT and Beacon based Mobile App .

In addition, the end-consumers can also, in many cases, avail remote support and repair work, which can further enhance their experience and satisfaction.

Top Smartphone and Computer brands already employ IoT concept in this context. Upon consumers’ consent, they track their devices and accrue real-time data to make further improvements in their products and provide better maintenance value to the existing users.

Again, these are rather broad applications of the Internet of Things in the ERP ecosystem. Odoo 12 is powerful. But guess how incredible Odoo v15 would be in pillaring and progressing the idea of IoT?! So, as we move forward and the industrial sector strides to embrace this tech more freely, the whole industry could see a massive change with much-improved efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness. As the maker of Odoo IoT Box said during the launch, “the possibilities are endless”.

But then given your operational efficiency and profitability will depend on the solution, you must find one that best suits your needs, requirements, and budget.

Getting to the point, here are 5 tips to help you find the best law ERP software:

1. Recognize your distinct needs

Unless you know what you want, you will never find anything good. So, before starting the search process, define your needs and requirements. Answer a few basic questions like…

Why you want an ERP software in the first place? What features and facilities do you want more? What exact goals do you want to achieve with the solution? The clearer you are in this stage, the easier the rest will become,

2. Your budget’s flexibility

While, generally, we recommend being slightly inflexible in your budget if you can score a better deal at a slightly higher cost, for startups this doesn’t fit. So, if yours is a new law firm with a restricted budget, it’s best you stick close to the boundary lines.

But then if your firm is well to do and has adequate to spare, you have no reason to obsess money. Look out for high-quality solution liberally even if it means investing a little more.

3. Look beyond Google’s first result page

This is a mistake many people make. They don’t look beyond Google’s SERP.

Understand that Google results are algorithm-based that can easily be manipulated. Meaning, what you see on the first page might not necessarily be an ideal fit for you. This also means the results on the following pages aren’t the bad ones.

So, when doing research to find a good legal case management software, don’t obsess Google’s first result page. Look beyond. You will find many great names that can perfectly fit your demands.

4. The Features…

Of course, this one is quite a no-brainer.

You must factor the features and add-ons of the ERP solutions very closely. Look at what they are offering. And above all, if what they are offering ideally fits your requirements. Customer relation management and documents management are the base level features. Also, look for evidence mapping, trials management and invoicing.

5. Prioritize customer support

The company or software maker that you’re picking must have a good market reputation. They must have a good range of solutions. And most importantly, they must have a proper customer support desk.

You never know when you might face some technical problems with the solution or when you need additional assistance. For such instances, it’s very crucial that the software company extends good support to resolve your problems quickly and effectively.

Is It Worth Spending on Law ERP Software? (Answer: NO)

Thousands of top law firms around the world use different legal practice management software for their operations and management. But then that doesn’t mean you have to use one yourself just for the sake of it. Indeed, it can bring you aplenty of perks. But even then, keeping ROI and individual requirements at the center, you must decide carefully whether or not spending money on such solutions is an optimal option.

Where Your Law Firm is Positioned?

The firms that have just begun with their journey, they usually struggle on the financial end, unless backed by rich VCs. They are limited in their budget, always looking for cheaper alternatives and the best result out of every spend. To that, with a relatively smaller client base, they don’t necessarily face many complexities. At large, the operational-end runs smooth and efficiently. If your organization is in the same position, you are not exactly in need of a law practice management system.

Similarly, if you’re someone who leverages on human capital to handle the operational end more than deploy tech solutions, you may not exactly prefer a legal practice management system. (Although we recommend going with custom solutions to maximize efficiency and minimize cost.)

But if you aren’t the ones outlined above, the benefits of having an ERP software is too much to sidestep.

The Seamless Benefits of law ERP Software

The benefits vary from software to software. The entry-level solutions would usually have base features that ideally fit new law firms with a constricted budget. The higher-end one would pack more powerful and flexible features with higher personalization. But, put broadly, here are the benefits you can expect:

Effective data handling

For law firms, handling data is a big challenge. So many clients and so many cases—so many trials and so many details. Even the slightest blunder can cascade to a bigger mess. A good ERP solution not only helps you organize and manage data proficiently but also ensure you can use it, as and when needed, with higher accessibility.

End-to-end case/client management

Dealing with clients and cases has many ends on the loop, with too many factors to care about—from trials to evidence. Things can get too hectic quite easily. But with a law ERP software, you can streamline all these ends to enjoy complete 360 control with higher transparency and convenience.

Simple automation

There are many tasks that you can certainly do away with. They are manual, time-consuming and aren’t of top priority. These days, many ERP solutions come with automation features. You can use the same to automate different tasks, including invoicing.

Higher operational efficiency

With few things automated, decision-making now based on hard data, and case management streamlined well, of course, the law ERP solution helps you achieve operational efficiency. And when you’re more efficient, you unlock greater success and profitability.

Fewer errors, less expense

These solutions not only help you maximize your returns but also position your organization at the optimal level on the graph. They eliminate room for errors and inaccuracies in the operations and CRM. This cascades to reduce your expense. And hence, your ROI optimizes. Not to mention, this helps you fight-off market competition rather easily.
