Even though the excitement trail of releasing Odoo 12 last October is still high on the run, the release of Odoo 13 is already upon us. In less than 3 months, Odoo 13 will grace us with a new awesome pool of features to make running a business and partnering even easier.
You may own a piece of info or have formed a certain understanding or an opinion of what it is, which means it’s meaningful to you yet that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can communicate it to other people just like that! Odoo, always ‘thriving for simplicity on the other side of complexity’ through translating what is often considered complex ideas into an easy to grab concepts, are bringing us new and clean-cut features to suit the business market even more.
Let's jog our memories a bit and check out what we are in for Odoo 13's release in October:
A new search panel can be added to all pages on Kanban View

Another awesome new module called 'Field Service Management' has been added to Odoo's Enterprise eddition to help you plan and manage tasks per user and project, schedule and track onsite operations, invoice time and material.
A smart move by Odoo to enhance user experience as well is having a 'Lazy Load/Asynchronous' approach for java-script files. Meaning that some scripts can be loaded simultaneously which gives the advantage of not slowing the page down.
Odoo has always adopted the approach of reducing the time needed to spend on all activities so that people can really focus on what matters when it comes to developing new features and properties. They want everything to be more focused and guided towards specific designations. They aspire to provide flexibility where needed and to improve the quality and the efficiency of their and everyone's business. In 2018 Odoo's Experience Event in Belgium, the following features to be were the talk of the event as they represented how complexity can be adopted and forged into something available to assist and serve every business and partner in the best possible ways.
