Looking for a reliable communication tool as well as a system to run your company?

Did you know that companies spend 80% of their working days just communicating? Odoo wants to enable people to cooperate better, to achieve collective results with the aim of improving efficiency and ensuring long-term sustainability.

It may come as a surprise to some, but Odoo makes this fully possible, both inside your company and when communicating with your customers.

We have already introduced the functionality and possibilities of Odoo as a set of modules for running a company in previous blogs. In general it is a set of productivity tools that let you do more in less time. They arose in response to the need for the right tool to cover every key process, fully integrated with the other processes that keep the company running. New tools appear quickly, mainly based on user requests and thanks to the ability of Odoo's developers to respond to them promptly.

Today we introduce the revamped Discuss module, which lets you communicate in a new way.

What does the Discuss module bring you?

Spending too long writing messages? Forget it – there are new video conferences in the Discuss module. You no longer need to use Discord, Google Meet, Jitsi and other tools. Now you can communicate with your colleagues via chat, video and screen sharing directly from Odoo. During a call you simply browse the database and share the information you need. Calls can be minimised or maximised to full screen as needed.

Odoo 15 also enables collaborative editing. You and your colleagues can now work on the same fields and update the same content together in real time. Odoo Discuss supports internal and external communication. You can chat one to one or in a group discussion. Want to spice up your message a little? Odoo Discuss now supports message reactions and animated GIFs. But let's focus on what matters most:

The main benefits of the Discuss module

• The tool lets you develop discussions at all levels of your company; you get an overview of the topics being discussed and of all new messages in the feed.
• It lets you turn your conversation into a pop-up window and carry on chatting in other Odoo modules.
• You can start a discussion in public channels and let every employee join the conversation, or create private channels to invite only a selected group of people.
• You can customise how notifications are sent, to minimise overflowing inboxes while making sure important messages get through. You specify who receives which message and when.

You choose how to handle notifications, add followers to tasks, plan activities, send messages and chat, all on one screen. You find out what colleagues are working on and how quickly they can reply by checking their status, and you stay in touch with them and with partners while using all the applications.
