Appointment management is necessary for all business firms. Appointments are commonly examined as ‘hard to manage' for a large system. Appointments start from employee appointments to primary client appointments.

To generate leads for the firm, proper maintenance and management of appointments should be done. A powerful schedule and planning of appointments are essential for the easy running of the business firm.

For user convenience and easy date management, Odoo has integrated Appointment with the Calendar Module.

Calendar module
