Key Highlights in Odoo 19
Here are some of the features you’ll want to know about, especially if you’re considering upgrading:
- AI-Powered Tools Integrated Across Apps
Odoo 19 introduces AI agents and intelligent fields: automating tasks like quote generation, follow-ups, invoice suggestions, and more. These are not add-ons but core parts of the workflows. - More Flexible Point of Sale (POS)
Expect improved presets, streamlined user experience, support for product bundles/combo items, and Dark Mode in POS. Faster checkout and better usability for busy environments. - Enhanced Website & E-Commerce Features
Better control over layouts, variant previews, refined design templates and snippets, improved widgets like Click & Collect, tighter SEO tools, and more integrations (e.g. marketplace syncs). - Improved Inventory, Purchase & Supply Chain
Simplification in Units of Measure (UoM) and packaging, smarter replenishment logic, multi-level packaging, custom serial-number tracking, and better inter-company operations. - Accounting & Financial Updates
Cleaner reconciliation processes, more robust localisation & tax compliance, new tools for managing expenses, improved reporting, and better UX in accounting dashboards. - Human Resources, Time Off & Payroll Enhancements
More accurate overtime tracking (duration-based entries), more automated leave workflows (public holidays, overlapping leave entries), improved contract/employee data integration, and clearer self-service features. - Industry-Specific Modules & ESG/Sustainability Focus
Odoo 19 expands its support for different industries with more “ready-to-use” functionality. Also, features to support environmental, social, and governance reporting are being added, helping businesses stay compliant and track their impact. - Communication, VoIP & Internal Collaboration Enhancements
Better VoIP features, more polished UI in Discuss and Chat, improved message formatting, better integration with other modules (CRM, projects, etc.), plus voice transcript capabilities with AI.
Why You Should Watch the Video
Watching the video will help you:
- See the new features in action—not just hear about them.

- Get ahead by planning training, migration, or adjustments before the update launches.
- Be inspired by ideas you might not have considered but that could really increase efficiency.
How to Prepare for Upgrading to Odoo 19
To make your transition smoother, here are some tips:
- Audit customizations and unused modules
Determine which customizations are still needed, which ones could be replaced by built-in features, and retire anything that no longer adds value. - Check for regional/local compliance
Ensure that tax rules, payroll laws, and financial reporting requirements in your region are or will be supported. - Train your team ahead of time
Let users know what’s changing: workflows, UI tweaks, AI tools. Early familiarization reduces friction. - Test in a pilot or staging environment
Run your core business processes in a test setup to catch incompatibilities or performance issues before going live. - Prioritize what matters most
Not everything will be needed immediately. Decide which features will deliver the biggest benefit for your business (e.g. POS improvements, AI workflows, finance compliance) and focus there.
Conclusion
Odoo 19 isn’t about revolution—it’s about refinement. It removes friction, adds intelligence, and stitches together features that many businesses have had to workaround. If you’re ready to make your operations more efficient, automated, and forwardlooking, this release is for you.
