Odoo POS Customer Contact

INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, a business needs to be faster, to grow and attract the customers.

To boost your sales & work more productively, you need to be even faster on the run time as well. As it increases the probability of frequent visits by customers at your store or restaurant.

Similarly, while working on Point Of Sale, often you need to create a new customer or company. Although you can create a new contact in a running POS session in the default Odoo POS as well.

But if the contact is a company, then you can not specify whether the contact is an individual or a company. For that, you have to go back to the Odoo back-end. Which is not a convenient way as it takes time & effort.

Therefore, we are here to introduce you to our Odoo POS Customer Contact module. Which facilitates the POS user to manage the customers and their contacts efficiently in running POS sessions.

It allows the POS user to create customer contacts and addresses dynamically from the POS session. This way you do not need to switch to the back-end to create customer contacts and addresses.

Check out our, Odoo POS Address Autocomplete helps you quickly fill in customer addresses in your point-of-sale system. It uses the Google address database to suggest and fill in complete addresses to save time and reduce mistakes.
