Discuss

✳︎ Chat, mail gateway and channels

Internal messaging woven through every app: discuss a specific invoice, order or task right on the record, with channels for teams and an email gateway for external replies.

Talk where the work lives

The most expensive place to discuss an invoice is an email thread: context gets retold, files get re-attached, decisions get lost. Odoo Discuss puts the conversation on the record it is about: the invoice, the order, the task, with the full history right there.

The conversation lives where the work lives.

Channels cover team talk, direct messages cover the quick question, video calls and screen sharing cover the rest. An email gateway pulls external replies into the same thread, so even outsiders land in context.

Good to know

Odoo Discuss: one module, one shared database, zero double entry.

Odoo Discuss is one of the standard applications of the Odoo platform, part of the Productivity family. Like every Odoo module, it runs on the same database as CRM, sales, inventory and accounting: information entered once is available everywhere, with no connectors, no sync jobs and no manual exports. Companies choose it to replace a patchwork of disconnected tools with one integrated system that is easier to maintain and cheaper to own.

In daily work, teams rely on Discuss for: chat threads on every business record; team channels and direct messages; email gateway: replies land in the thread; video calls and screen sharing. Because the module is part of the platform, every action leaves a clean trail for reporting: managers watch live dashboards instead of assembling spreadsheets, and the numbers stay consistent across departments and companies.

ERP SWISS is an official Odoo partner. We implement and configure Discuss for companies in Switzerland, France, Germany, the EU and Armenia, including localization, data migration, staff training and long-term support. A typical implementation takes weeks, not months: we configure the standard module to your processes first, and add custom development only where it truly pays off.
