Odoo 13 came up with a new and advantageous feature termed as the ‘Subcontracting’ ...
... for the BOM. It is quite normal in businesses that they outsource some of the business tasks to expert resources to get the work done maintaining quality and standard.

Now, the manufacturing firms can easily carry out the outsourcing tasks using this superb addition in this ERP version 13. 
 
Odoo 13 includes a Forecasted Inventory:
Another key feature of this ERP is advanced inventory reporting or the ‘Forecasted inventory’. Now, this means forecasting the future requirements of products based on current market studies. With proper forecasted inventory, you can stock the demanding products and meet the customer needs with any delay. Odoo 13 has a separate report for this forecasted inventory that enables the generation and visibility of the graphical and grid view of the products as per the quantity, date, or time. 
 
Comes with the Skill management module:
This is a completely fresh module introduced in this new ERP version. This module can also be considered as the extended add-on to the previous employee module. Employee skills play a major role in business survival and growth. The right skill management approach or system can polish and sharpen the skills of the employees that can in turn lead to excellence in their performances and consequently in the company benefits. 
 
Skill management also helps businesses to know the employee skills, understand and identify their experiences, and so on. This can again help a firm to offer relevant training to their employees based on the experience levels and abilities. 
 
Odoo 13 lets you add product videos:
Have you noticed that different eCommerce sites display different images of the same product? Actually, the difference in the images lies in the angles in which the pictures are captured. Version 13 has got new features with which e-stores can also add short and precise product videos for a better representation of the products. 
 
The ERP also has new sales & promotion coupons:
The survival of businesses also depends upon the consumers and customers. Hence, it is essential to retain the maximum number of customers. Loyal customers can be considered as the most profitable assets of every business. With the increase in the level of competition, it has become essential to have something attractive and unique in the business to drive more customers. The ‘sales and promotions coupons’ of Odoo 13 can ensure this. With this feature of this new version of the ERP, you can easily create and conveniently manage the promotion strategies and the sales coupons to boost sales and profit. 
 
Previously, this feature was present only in Odoo’s enterprise version but now with the arrival of version 13, it is made available for the community version of the ERP as well. 
 
With these points, it can be said that Odoo has shown great improvements with its new launch and has successfully stood up to the expectations of almost every business today.
