Odoo is one of the fastest-evolving business management platforms, releasing new versions every year. Each version brings not only technical improvements but also smarter ways to manage your business—from automation and integration to visual no-code tools and built-in artificial intelligence.
Whether you’re a startup with a single app or a growing enterprise running a full suite of solutions, Odoo’s version system, flexible hosting, and advanced features are designed to scale with you.
How Odoo Versions Are Released
Odoo launches a new major version every year, usually in October during the Odoo Experience event. These versions are named simply (e.g., Odoo 16, Odoo 17, Odoo 18...), making it easy to track progress.
Each new version includes:
- Performance improvements
- New apps or features
- Upgrades to existing modules
- Interface and usability enhancements
In addition to major versions, minor updates and bug fixes are regularly pushed, especially for cloud users. This ensures a stable and secure system throughout the year.
No-Code with Odoo Studio: Customize Without Programming
One of Odoo’s most powerful tools is Odoo Studio — a no-code visual editor that lets you:
- Create custom fields and forms
- Modify views and dashboards
- Automate workflows
- Add buttons, conditions, and business logic
This means you can build and adapt apps without being a developer. It’s perfect for teams that want to move fast and customize processes with full control, all through a drag-and-drop interface.
You can even build an entire custom module directly in your browser.
AI Integration: Work Smarter, Not Harder
Since version 17, Odoo has integrated AI-powered tools that help businesses work more efficiently. Some features include:
- AI-generated email templates and replies
- Automatic product descriptions in eCommerce
- ChatGPT-style assistant for document drafting
- AI-powered search and help suggestions
These tools save time and improve content quality — especially helpful for sales, marketing, HR, and support teams.
One Platform, All Apps Connected
A key advantage of Odoo is how well its apps work together. With just a few clicks, you can connect:
CRM → Invoicing → Accounting
Website → eCommerce → Inventory
Project → Timesheets → Payroll
You don’t need separate systems or complex integrations. Everything runs on a single database, so reporting, data sharing, and automation between departments are seamless.
You can also trigger actions from smart buttons on each screen — for example, generating a quote from a CRM lead, or scheduling a task from a sales order.
Easy Website Building with Studio and AI
Your website is often the first thing customers see. With Odoo, building a professional website is quick and code-free. You can:
- Choose a ready-made theme or build your own
- Drag-and-drop sections like pricing tables, galleries, or blogs
- Use AI to write headlines, descriptions, and SEO texts
- Connect your website directly with CRM, eCommerce, and Marketing
- Even build and host your website for free if you use only one Odoo app (Website)
From lead capture to customer support, your website becomes a fully integrated part of your business.
Hosting, Maintenance, and Cloud Ownership
Odoo offers several options for how your system is hosted and maintained, depending on your business needs. Whether you prefer a fully managed cloud, a flexible development platform, or self-hosting, there's a model that fits your goals.
