We’ve prepared a cool learning experience for you at EuroCIS: enjoy an ice cream while discovering how convenient the open-source ERP system Odoo is for retail. After all, an ice cream cart is a point of sale like any other: chocolate? strawberry? vanilla? You place your order at the terminal and watch as all background processes are triggered—filling cones or cups and recording the transaction cleanly in the accounting system. Whether online, brick-and-mortar, or hybrid: Odoo provides retailers with a smooth, end-to-end process that connects all relevant business areas.
Why Odoo? Because It Fits You Perfectly
Customers can order at the checkout terminal, via a user-friendly kiosk app, or through a webshop—all initiating the same seamless process. Because the business software is not only easy to implement but also offers more than 40,000 integrated apps, it is suitable for retailers of all types and sizes. More than ten million users worldwide rely on this open-source solution. Odoo allows you to manage any number of products and categories. Customers can register online effortlessly and choose from various payment methods. In addition to fixed prices, percentage discounts can be defined for individual items or entire shopping carts.
Sales staff can process multiple orders in parallel by pausing individual transactions. If electronic scales are connected, Odoo automatically calculates product weight during checkout. Features such as dynamic barcodes and customized printed receipts for marketing purposes can also be integrated. Tablets further enhance the customer journey at the point of sale. In general, the web-based solution runs smoothly on all types of devices.
Additional Features for Brick-and-Mortar Retail
With Odoo, sales staff in the store have direct access to the inventory management system. Once the last red sneaker in size 39 is sold, the team knows immediately that it’s out of stock. Inventory levels are displayed in real time and can be managed across multiple locations. Retailers can view order histories, daily sales, and total revenues by payment method. Multiple cashier accounts can be managed and secured with badges or PIN codes. Corrections at the cash register can be monitored, and cash balances can be verified after store closing.
