๐ฅ Odoo 20 is coming and it may change how your ERP actually works
Odoo 20 hasnโt been officially released yet. But the early roadmap already gives a clear signal of where ERP is heading next.
Based on early signals from Odooโs 2026 roadmap, the next version is expected to focus on a few key directions:
โ AI embedded across workflows (e.g. Accounting, Website, Helpdesk), not just as a chatbot layer
โ Simplified system design with a strong push toward โadding is easyโ and modular expansion
โ More unified operations, such as Planning consolidating resource management (Field Service โ Planning)
โ Stronger financial capabilities, including features like direct payments from Odoo and more flexible reconciliation
โ Technical upgrades like Owl 3 and a new External JSON-2 API for scalability and integrations
These are not final features yet, but they clearly show how Odoo is evolving from a system that records data into one that supports how businesses operate day-to-day.
For businesses in Malaysia dealing with fragmented systems, compliance pressure (e-Invoice) and scaling challenges, this shift is worth paying attention to.
