Why choose Odoo CMS for your website
Odoo is a fully web-based application that provides multi-user management support without any hindrance. It is one of the best open source platforms with a suite of commercial applications. A well-integrated Odoo system helps you streamline your business activities with standardized solutions. Along with apps for various business functions, Odoo also has a CMS option using which businesses can create customer-facing websites. But Odoo CMS faces formidable competitors in the CMS space in the form of WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, the three leading CMS platforms.
Having said that, Odoo has something that other standalone CMS platforms don’t: the ability to natively integrate with other business systems like CRM, accounting, inventory management, supply chain management, etc. Because Odoo is an ERP suite consisting of various other business applications, you are in a unique position to leverage that for your CMS for businesses looking to have more than just an information dissemination website and looking for a front end website for the various business applications and systems
Let’s look at some of these areas where Odoo CMS has the edge.
1.Easy inventory management
Let’s say you want to display the stock availability of your products on your website for your dealers and distributors, you can easily do this with Odoo using the inventory management module. You can even track inventory in real time using devices like mobile phones or tablets, to stay in control from distant locations.
2. Better human resource management
Because Odoo CMS is natively integrated with the human resources module of the Odoo suite, details related to vacancies will be automatically updated on the website. With a separate employee login on the website, you can update them on their leave, evaluation, vacation, etc. without having to develop a custom module for it.
3. Native eCommerce capabilities
If you want to add an online store to your website, you can easily do it again with the native Odoo eCommerce module. Although other CMS also have eCommerce options now, they are not as well integrated with other business systems like Odoo. With Odoo, all your sales information will be integrated with the sales modules, revenue will be tracked in the accounting module, and customer details can be easily managed with the Odoo CRM app.
4. Integrated Marketing Capabilities
With Odoo you can conduct surveys and use survey data in your customer interaction, do email marketing natively, and provide online customer support through the built-in live chat feature. You can also create events, update event details on the website, and promote your event through built-in email capabilities.
5. Better community management
Do you want a question and answer platform like Quora or Yahoo Answers on your website? You can use the Odoo community module to create such a platform easily. You can add as many users as possible and create a thriving community of followers where you can address their issues or just let them create their own content. All this is possible for free with Odoo.
