DMS Reinvented
Move to a paperless approach.
With Odoo Documents, you can easily share, send, categorize, and archive scanned documents. You can also generate business documents such as vendor bills, tasks, and product sheets for manufacturing.
Streamline your workflow
Take advantage of a fully integrated approval, control, and validation process, with activities, chatter, and action rules to make sure everything gets done by the right person at the right time.
Email gateway
Using the email gateway, bills are created automatically from a scanned document or directly from your vendor's email.
Collaborate with your team and clients
Assign documents to your colleagues, customers, or vendors. Share files and public folders with your clients, and let them import documents directly.
Seamless work with Sign
Don't waste time printing and scanning documents that someone has to sign. Instead, assign them to the right person, get them e-signed, and have them sent directly back.
Process documents in batch
Work in batch by requesting approvals, changing folders, tagging and assigning multiple files at once instead of one by one.
Integrated with Odoo Apps
Documents integrate with other Odoo Apps. Track versions of plans and worksheets with PLM, create your vendor bills in one click with the help of our AI in Accounting or create tasks from specific documents.
