ConnectGain CRM × Odoo — Car Maintenance Shop¶
Commercial Offer: Unified Customer & Workshop Management¶
The Challenge¶
Car maintenance shops juggle customer communication, appointment scheduling, invoicing, spare parts inventory, and service follow-ups across disconnected tools. This leads to:
- Missed follow-up calls and lost repeat customers
- Manual data entry between the CRM and ERP
- No visibility into customer service history during conversations
- Delayed invoicing and payment tracking
- Inconsistent multi-channel communication (WhatsApp, phone, email)
The Solution: ConnectGain + Odoo Integration¶
ConnectGain CRM connects directly to your Odoo ERP, creating a single source of truth for customer relationships and workshop operations.
Customer contacts you (WhatsApp / Call / Web)
↓
ConnectGain captures & routes the conversation
↓
Agent views full service history (synced from Odoo)
↓
Booking created → Odoo Work Order generated
↓
Service completed → Invoice auto-synced
↓
Follow-up reminders sent automatically
