Sales Apps

Odoo CRM interface

 CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

This is a very flexible customer relationship management solution, which offers exactly the same automation as HubSpot, Sales Force etc. for a fraction of the cost with the option to integrate with your current CRM system.  Our clients have, in the main, tidied up their data, and simply uploaded it to Odoo CRM - It registers Leads or, you can go straight to Opportunities. 

Name the stages of your sales cycle as you wish.  And when new business is won simply generate a sales order, which triggers the requisite Projects and Procurement activities for automatic approval.

Get rid of salespeople's spreadsheets - they are not worth the time, effort or fact-filtering - instead, use our sophisticated CRM for your opportunities.  Track leads - close opportunities and receive accurate forecasts.

Sales

Create polished quotations with Odoo Sign and online payment.  Use quotation templates in Odoo and email them to your clients.  Forget Outlook and Word - it is all here.   

With all of the alerts, options, upselling, and price lists per group or even by customer.  When you win you simply process the quotation as a sales order, with any changes required.  Generate the invoice in line with your agreed engagement terms - add any line discounts.

Full dashboard insight and reporting on results, trends, performance and more.  Your sales can be linked to the Projects, Inventory, Purchasing, and Accounts Apps instantly - all the administration is done automatically to your procedures.

​​​​❮ Invoicing

Turn your sales quotations into invoices automatically so that your customer knows exactly what to expect.

Manage contracts, create recurring invoices, bill timesheets, and get paid faster.

What takes time in the invoicing process is answering customer queries and being able to quickly justify the amount you are billing.  In Odoo, you bill on the sales orders, delivery notifications or detailed time and materials - saving you valuable time and resources.

​​​​❮ Retail with ePos 

User-friendly point of sale - set up in minutes, sell in seconds.  The Calibrate team has implemented several Odoo retail solutions for customers.  Some are integrated with Magento, Shopify or similar, but now most are purely Odoo.  We provide integrated payment terminals, tills, and tablets, and offer full training to all staff. 

There is a real-time stock reservation, and delivery is automatically triggered with many couriers or with your own delivery service.  Because everything is in one system, the accounting, inventory, purchasing and works orders are all automatically aligned.

❮​​​​ Sign

The Odoo Sign App is a fast and convenient way to add proven authorisation to internal and external processes.

You can prepare contracts by dragging and dropping blocks to be agreed upon and completed by the engaging parties. 

Submit signature requests in seconds, without all the inefficiencies, waste and time consumption of paper-based methods, or likewise when swapping data into a third-party app.  Simplify your processes and boost productivity easily.

Subscriptions

While you are delivering services and results to your customers and gaining new business, Odoo Subscriptions looks after recurring sales and subscriptions behind the scenes, and you are reminded in advance when your client's subscription is due for renewal.  Giving plenty of time to secure the sale.   

Provide clear contracts and the perfect automated invoices with no need to worry about repetitive administration - just set it up, with amounts, taxes, payment preferences and duration while the rest is done for you. 

Rental

Rental allows you to keep an eye on the availability of your products and serial numbers.  When you need to do checks on quality, keep them unavailable in-between two rentals with padding time.

Create your rental order, schedule, deliver, return, and invoice from one single view.  Get all the information you need directly on the rental module.

Keep a calendar of availability and provide customers with clear rental invoices.

Field Service with Dynamic User Integration

Managing remote workers has its challenges.  Sometimes the best workers in the field are the worst with administration - which can cause huge headaches with central control, the accuracy of billing, and managing who has which tools and what stock. 

Critical activities like customer job sheet sign-off, recording photos of damage and repair jobs or having access to key data, all need to be quick and easy.  Odoo does all of this through many different mobile devices and locations, connecting online and offline

Operations Apps

❮​​​​ Accounting

Odoo accounting integrates all of your operational transactions, purchasing, subscriptions, sales invoices, inventory, and expenses into one financial window of your business.   From a managerial perspective, everything is visible on a real-time basis through dashboards.   

From a detailed accounting perspective - Accounting gives you tight visibility and control over every aspect of the business.     

Odoo has its own incumbent spreadsheet functionality - providing a real-time view of performance data.  And it works directly with Sign so you know when contracts/sales have been approved. 

Synchronisation and reconciliation with banks are easily set up, taking the slog out of finance, and allowing you to focus on reporting the company position.

❮​​​​ Consolidation

You can combine financial information from all of your group companies and generate a consolidated reporting pack for the Board.  

You can speed up the financial close, and look at historic information and trends.  Analyse the net effect of exchange rate fluctuation across your entities and add multiple columns to your reports with no GL impact.  Bring in data from other financial systems to your consolidated accounting and reporting.

Timesheets

Whether you are running a small business, are a freelance professional, a manufacturer, or a business service company, you need to know what your costs are and what you should be charging clients for your services.  Otherwise, it can be a guessing game and potentially cost you! 

You and your team can be anywhere, and you can log time with the Odoo web-enabled device.  You will get real-time analysis of team and company productivity - anywhere!

Project & Job Management

Odoo Projects gives you a central hub for projects, jobs and contracts.  It can be one that you are delivering for your clients or an internal project.  You configure the stages, tasks and activities; schedule actions; set triggers and alerts; analyse actual performance against targets.  

You link all of the documents, drawings, plans, meetings and communication in one place.  Odoo gives you project accounting and dynamic visibility.  You send internal notes and external notes to all or select members of the team - they see it in their Outlook or g-mail. 

When questions arise - you have one place to look for the answer - no more scrolling through endless emails.

Help Desk

Business-to-business ongoing customer success is key to the profitability and growth of your company.  Odoo Helpdesk gives you and your customers the tools to serve their needs.  What's more, you can tightly analyse finances around delivery - by the client, by group, or by service type.  You can easily report on your team's performance against service level agreements.

Calibrate is a small service provider.  Our customers benefit from using the Helpdesk.  We also use it internally when we need help from each other.

 A useful bi-product is a handy knowledge base - so you don’t have to raise a ticket next time, and you learn from others.  An agile helpline for great customer service.

Manufacturing Apps

Manufacturing

The Calibrate team has been implementing manufacturing solutions for several decades.  From this experience, we know what works well and what doesn't.  With Odoo, the combination of configurable functionality and ease of use is unsurmountable.

The controlled flexibility of variants on the Bill of Materials; the very clear time-recording job clock; access to drawings; easy shop floor data collection; and real-time communications - make for effective management of the shop floor.  

We love demonstrating Odoo Manufacturing - and there are so many ways different companies want to do similar things - so we always have a detailed manufacturing discovery session, first to find out how you do what you do - then to deliver!

PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)

Engineering change control can be a big overhead or considerable oversight.  Communication is the key to efficiency, and the visibility of changes makes us all compliant and more productive.  

Odoo PLM helps you to communicate more effectively across departments.  Everyone follows only what they need.  Approvals are simple and discussions on documents are centralised and collaborative, making changes easily understood, auditable and controlled.

Maintenance

Look after your assets with preventative, scheduled maintenance.  Your IT equipment, your plant and your machinery all have automatically calculated the time between failures, based on asset history. 

You also have a central place for emergency fix requests and general repairs - allocated to the right level of expertise, slotted into a maintenance calendar, and, of course, connected to inventory, purchase and accounting, providing a fully rounded business function.

Extend the life of your assets - save money and increase productivity. 

Quality

Manage quality requests with a great user interface.  

You won't see the smile on your customer's face when you get it right.  But you will hear all about it when you get something even slightly wrong - and it costs!

Odoo helps you to implement quality control plans to trigger checks at the beginning and end of your processes.  If you are checking in or checking out - it's got to be perfect.

Manage and track production part approval process (PPAP) submissions.  Configure your statistical process control (SPC).  Attach process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA) documents to routings.

Repair

If you ever need to repair the products you have manufactured, stocked or sold, you need to account for this activity in your business.  The Odoo Repair App manages the complete after-sales process and allows you to manage your repair process efficiently.

If it is part of what you do, join it up with all the other things you do with Odoo for a well-rounded solution.
