In the modern business landscape, data is the new fuel for decision-making. Yet, many organizations still rely on manual exports, endless Excel sheets, and disconnected tools to manage reports which often leads to errors, duplication, and wasted time.

With Odoo BI, reporting gets a major upgrade. It brings together Dashboards and Spreadsheets within the same platform, helping businesses visualize real-time data, collaborate seamlessly, and make informed decisions faster.

Why Traditional Reporting Falls Short

Think about your current reporting flow:

Export data to spreadsheets

Clean, merge, and reformat

Share versions over email

Update manually every week

This fragmented process not only slows down analysis but also introduces inconsistencies and delays in business insights. Odoo’s integrated BI tools are designed to eliminate exactly that.

What Makes Odoo BI Powerful

Odoo BI isn’t just another analytics add-on it’s natively integrated with every Odoo module, from Sales and Inventory to Accounting and HR. This means every dashboard or spreadsheet you build is directly connected to live business data.

Here’s what sets it apart:

Real-time Insights: Whenever a transaction or record is updated in Odoo, the dashboards and spreadsheets update instantly. No more manual data refreshes.

Excel-style Spreadsheets (Inside Odoo): The familiar interface supports formulas like SUM, VLOOKUP, and AVERAGE. You can perform calculations, link datasets, and even visualize metrics — without leaving Odoo.

Visual Dashboards & Pivot Tables: Drag-and-drop fields to create dynamic pivot tables, charts, or reports in minutes. Whether you’re tracking sales trends or monitoring expenses, insights are just a few clicks away.

Collaboration Made Easy: Share dashboards with team members, control permissions, and ensure everyone works with the same, accurate data. It’s built for collaboration — not confusion.

Personalized Views: Each user can customize their dashboard to focus on what matters most — revenue for sales teams, overdue invoices for finance, or project timelines for managers.

How It Works

Creating a BI report in Odoo 18 is incredibly simple:

Start with a Pivot Table: Choose your dataset (e.g., sales orders or invoices) and structure your pivot by dragging dimensions and measures.

Insert into Spreadsheet: Once ready, click “Insert in Spreadsheet.” Your pivot data instantly becomes part of a live spreadsheet linked to the same Odoo data.

Add Formulas & Charts: Apply custom formulas or insert graphs to make the report visually insightful.

Add to Dashboard: Pin it to a dashboard and share it with your team. Everyone now views a single source of truth — updated in real time.

Centralized Reporting: No more switching between tools or chasing multiple versions of files.

Real-time Accuracy: Data syncs automatically across departments.

Ease of Use: Both technical and non-technical users can build insights quickly.
