The Odoo Mobile App provides a streamlined interface for the Odoo ERP system, allowing users to access their Odoo database via smartphones or tablets on both Android and iOS platforms.
There are two types of mobile experiences available:
– A Progressive Web App (PWA) version accessible through a browser, which can be installed on the home screen and works across platforms.
– Native “store apps” for Android and iOS, available for download from the Play Store or App Store.
Odoo recommends the PWA version for many use cases. The mobile app integrates seamlessly with all Odoo modules, including CRM, Sales, Inventory, and HR, enabling users to manage business processes on the go.
Key Features & Capabilities:
– Anywhere/Anytime access: Users can view and act on business data away from their desktops, such as checking sales orders and inventory levels.
– Unified access to modules: The app allows seamless switching between modules due to the shared database/platform.
– Real-time data and decision support: Mobile access provides live updates for faster decision-making.
– User-friendly interface: The app is optimized for smaller screens and touch input.
– Security & integration: The app connects to the main Odoo system, ensuring data consistency, with features like push notifications and SSO supported in some versions.
– Support for hardware/features: The app supports functionalities like barcode scanning and mobile device camera use for data capture, though support may vary by module/platform.
Typical Use Cases:
– Sales representatives can use the CRM module to check lead status, update opportunities, and send quotes while visiting clients.
– Field staff or warehouse employees can scan items, check stock, and update inventory on the move.
– Managers can review dashboards and approve purchase orders or expenses while away.
– HR and remote workforce can submit timesheets, check leave approvals, and manage tasks from mobile.
– Business owners can monitor metrics and operations even when out of the office.
How to Deploy / Use
For businesses looking to roll it out, some key steps:
Ensure your Odoo server (cloud or on-premises) is set up and accessible from mobile devices.
For PWA: Just open browser on mobile, log into Odoo instance, then install the PWA (e.g., in Chrome: menu → “Install app”).
For Native App: Download from Google Play (Android) or App Store (iOS). For example, Android: search “Odoo” in Play Store.
Login with the same credentials as your desktop Odoo.
Decide which modules will be exposed/supported on mobile. Some modules may need mobile-friendly configuration.
Ensure connectivity, security (mobile access, password policies, mobile device management if required).
