Dashboard Module in Odoo 18
By Braincuber Team
Published on January 10, 2026
A business owner wants to know how the company is performing today. Not next week after the accountant finishes reports. Not after compiling data from six different departments. Right now. She needs to see today's sales, check if warehouse delays are affecting deliveries, understand which marketing campaigns are driving traffic, and verify that support tickets aren't piling up. Previously, this required opening multiple applications, cross-referencing spreadsheets, and waiting for various managers to send updates.
Odoo 18's Dashboard module consolidates real-time KPIs from across your entire business into a single unified view. Sales quotations and revenue, CRM pipeline status, inventory alerts, manufacturing OEE, helpdesk response times, HR turnover rates, marketing campaign performance, website analytics—all visualized through interactive charts, graphs, and ranked lists. Each department has its own specialized dashboard with relevant metrics, and data updates automatically as transactions occur throughout the system.
Core Benefit: One module, complete visibility. Real-time KPIs from Sales, CRM, Finance, Inventory, Manufacturing, HR, Marketing, and more. Interactive charts update automatically. Make data-driven decisions without opening multiple apps.
