Odoo 20 · detailed guide
Ready-made Odoo setups for your sector, with new packages in Odoo 20.
Industry packages are ready-made Odoo setups for a specific type of business. Each one combines the right apps with preconfigured settings, data and workflows, so a company in that sector starts from a setup built for how it already works instead of a blank database.
Odoo 20 adds new packages for sectors such as beauty parlors, physical and mental therapy, catering, interior design, vineyards, machine rental and public institutions, and updates existing ones for construction, hotels, property management and nonprofits. The descriptions below are based on Odoo's official Odoo 20 release notes.
