Short Description
In this 20-minute Connecta Talk, we’ll introduce both business decision-makers and technical integrators to a fully embedded integration platform that makes Odoo the central nervous system of your organization. You’ll learn how Connecta eliminates the need for external middleware by keeping all data, mappings, logs, and even AI assistance directly inside Odoo—reducing operational risk and TCO.

Through real-world business cases—connecting suppliers, mass data imports, purchase-order and sales-order synchronization, and shipment confirmations—you’ll see how easy it is to replace brittle scripts and spreadsheets with robust, GUI-driven connectors.
On the technical side, we’ll guide you through our drag-and-drop Flow Designer, the comprehensive connector library (REST, S/FTP, databases, SOAP, message brokers, object storage, and more), and the intuitive Mapping GUI. You’ll also explore real-time and historical dashboards, a centralized alert notification center, plus our new AI Chatbot that answers setup and best-practice questions, and a Getting Started Wizard that walks you through configuring your first use-case.

We’ll close with our support for streaming data and a sneak peek at upcoming features like AI-powered mapping suggestions, community-built connector templates, and deeper BI integrations—all designed to help you move faster, maintain control, and scale with confidence. This session is ideal for anyone new to Odoo integrations as well as seasoned technical partners frustrated by traditional connection headaches.

We were tipped by Odoo’s David Verschueren and Timo Huyskens from the NL division, who saw the added value Connecta brings to a broad audience.
