Enjoy simplified product management
Product management is one of the most time-consuming and demanding tasks for e-commerce businesses, especially for those with a large catalog. With Odoo 18, new features greatly simplify the organization and updating of product listings.
Save time with bulk image import
You can now upload images in bulk using an Excel file, where each image is linked to the corresponding products through unique identifiers. This feature saves time when managing large catalogs: simply prepare an Excel file with the "products" column and image links, then import it directly into Odoo. All images are automatically assigned to the correct items, ensuring a fast and consistent visual update.
Track and manage your inventory with precision using barcodes
Odoo 18 allows you to generate barcodes directly from the interface, making inventory management smoother and more accurate. By scanning these barcodes, item tracking becomes instant, improving the management of logistics flows and reducing data entry errors.
Backend: ergonomic updates for quick and efficient product control
The backend has been optimized for better usability, making everyday operations easier. Whether it's adding products from the catalog view or updating model attributes, Odoo 18 makes these tasks more accessible and faster, allowing managers to save valuable time.
Highlight your promotions and new arrivals to captivate customers with ribbons on variants
A product can have multiple variants, each being a specific version of the base product, distinguished by features like size, color, material, or any other specification. For example, a pair of shoes may be available in different sizes and colors.
Ribbons such as "new" or "on sale" can now be added to product variants. These visual indicators grab customers' attention and highlight new items or promotional products, helping to boost sales.
An enhanced interface for an intuitive and enjoyable customer navigation
Visual and ergonomic improvements have been made, enriching the customer experience and making navigation through catalogs easier. These updates are designed to make the user journey more intuitive and engaging, helping to increase customer engagement and conversion rates.

Offer a dynamic presentation to capture attention and facilitate discovery
Product displays are now more dynamic thanks to the integration of carousels for product templates. This visual format allows users to easily browse products within the same category or discover different variants of an item without leaving the page. This approach is ideal for e-commerce sites where visual appeal plays a key role in the purchasing decision.
