The business world is constantly evolving, with technology playing a crucial role in driving this change.
Odoo, a powerful and versatile open-source ERP system, has become a popular choice for businesses of all sizes in Vietnam. However, implementing and optimizing Odoo can be challenging.
Portcities Vietnam and Onnet Consulting, the two leading Odoo partners in Vietnam, joined forces to launch the Odoo Power User Series and community to address this need. This initiative aims to support businesses in effectively using and optimizing Odoo.
Let’s dive in.
What is the Odoo Power Users Meet-Up?
The Odoo Power Users Meet-Up is a monthly event organized by Portcities Vietnam and Onnet Consulting, the two largest Odoo partners in Vietnam. It serves as a platform for Odoo users in Vietnam to share knowledge and best practices on using Odoo.
By connecting with other users in the Vietnamese Odoo user community, the participants can learn about the latest Odoo features and and functionalities. Moreover, attendees get insights from Odoo experts, enhancing their understanding and utilizing the software.
Open to anyone who uses or is interested in using Odoo, the event primarily targets Odoo functional users but also welcomes Odoo end users and those simply interested in the platform. Typically, the event format includes presentations by Odoo experts, followed by Q&A sessions and opportunities for networking.
This initiative goes beyond just events. It's a movement to empower Vietnamese businesses to unlock their full potential with the ERP system.
The event featured insightful presentations by industry experts, starting with Portcities Vietnam's Country Director, Binh Tran, who emphasized the importance of data quality by highlighting the GIGO principle (Garbage In, Garbage Out).
Following this, Minh Vo, Head of Functional Consultant at Onnet Consulting, showcased the enhanced functionalities of spreadsheets in Odoo versions 16 and 17, which included advanced Excel-like formulas.
What are the key takeaways from the event?
Vietnamese businesses increasingly turn to Odoo for their business management needs but often face challenges in utilizing its full potential. The Odoo Power User Series was created to address this gap by building a community focused on best practices.
This series tackles crucial topics like customization, allowing businesses to tailor Odoo to their specific needs.
Attendees learned valuable insights, such as the seamless data flow with Odoo, which allows the creation of pivot tables directly from the module's pivot data views (e.g., Accounting) and export to CSV or Excel formats.
Additionally, Odoo's enhanced spreadsheet features bridge the gap between manual Excel data and real-time Odoo data, enabling efficient data manipulation and analysis.
Odoo also supports data centralization with manual import via CSV or Excel files or automated API integration for real-time data synchronization from your existing software, providing businesses with flexibility and control over their data exchange.
The event fostered a collaborative environment with a lively Q&A session, addressing real-world concerns like importing legacy data, setting up automated reporting reminders, and managing data access across departments.
