Telephony and voice AI in odoo
The phone is the last channel nobody can account for afterwards. PhoneDesk runs your PBX from inside Odoo, gives every employee a phone in the browser and turns every call into a permanent record.

Nobody can say who changed the call routing last Tuesday, or how to undo it. Nobody knows what was promised on the phone. And the recordings your PBX has been dropping into a folder for years were never consented to or deleted. PhoneDesk turns that around: the PBX becomes Odoo data — with dry run, read-back verification and automatic roll-back.
A PBX that your Odoo controls, that writes down every conversation and stays auditable. Everything that belongs to it — clearly sorted:
Call routing as Odoo records, rolled out with a dry run and a way back.
Which number rings on which handset is a record with a form, history and permissions — not an SSH session in a config file.
Generate, dry run, deploy, read back from the live PBX. If it deviates, PhoneDesk restores the previous state itself.
An employee becomes a line: one click, its own SIP credentials, cleanly repeatable.
The phone sits in the browser, the call lands on the record.
A call window floating above any Odoo view, plus a full telephony workspace. Answer, dial, type notes — without leaving the form.
A handset next to every phone number — in the contact, the lead, the ticket. Inbound, PhoneDesk identifies the caller and opens the right contact.
Status, duration, contact, notes and call quality sit on the call — server-led. Hitting F5 mid-call changes nothing.
Voice AI that greets, listens, transfers and takes notes.
Someone dials, a machine answers, greets with your sentence and holds a real conversation — with memory across the whole call.
After hanging up, summary and transcript sit in the contact's history — encrypted, permission-controlled, correctable with a log.
On request the AI pulls in a colleague, tells them a machine was on the line, and only connects once they agree.

Metzler IT GmbH is at the largest annual Odoo conference with MailDesk, PhoneDesk and MindDesk. At booth N3 we call a real number, let the AI answer — and then show you the record in Odoo.
Four situations that cost time or nerves today — and what PhoneDesk makes of them.

“Ms Berger starts on the first.”
Line createdExtension, SIP account and handset are one click. When she leaves, the same path in reverse.
No ticket to the telephony provider
“Two calls at once and nobody free.”
AI takes overThe AI answers, greets with your sentence, clarifies the request and pulls in a colleague on request. After hours just the same.
No call runs into the void
“The customer says we promised something else.”
Transcript availableFor AI-led calls the wording is on file, encrypted and with a correction log. For all others: date, duration, participants, note.
Consent & access logged

No magic, just less manual work — in tasks that come up every week.
What was discussed sits on the customer after hanging up. Your people check a paragraph instead of writing for two minutes.
less follow-up per callJoiners and leavers run without a ticket to the provider and without manual work on the PBX.
no provider ticketDry run before, read-back after, automatic roll-back on deviation.
change instead of change anxietyThe AI answers the same first questions, holds the caller and transfers on request.
no call runs into the voidBottom line: in our reference profile — 40 employees, 12 lines, 2,400 calls a month — that is around € 1,200 per month currently lost to typing up, chasing and waiting for IT.
PhoneDesk is not an app download but an interplay of PBX, services and Odoo. We deliver it as a managed installation — in the data centre or as a device in your building.
One licence per Odoo database, tiered by number of lines. Not a price that grows with every new employee.
Every call becomes an Odoo record.
Your call routing becomes an Odoo record.
The phone answers and takes notes.
Defensible in front of an auditor.

No. PhoneDesk manages recordings, it does not create them. If your PBX already produces the files, PhoneDesk puts consent, retention, access logging and deletion on top. What PhoneDesk creates itself is an encrypted transcript and a summary of every AI-led call.
No. PhoneDesk only depends on Odoo building blocks included in Community. Odoo's telephony modules, by contrast, require an Enterprise licence — with fifteen users that is several thousand euros a year before the first call is made.
Odoo enriches a call it does not control: no server-side transfer, no conference, no access to the audio, no call routing — because Odoo does not own a PBX. PhoneDesk owns it.
The PBX sits with you or in your data centre, and all call data lives in your Odoo database. On the PhoneDesk Box, speech recognition and voice run on your own hardware. Exactly where your speech models run is written down before signing.
No, and we would rather say so in the first conversation than the third. Queues, hunt groups and a mobile app do not exist in PhoneDesk, and a supervisor cannot listen in on a live call — that is deliberate.
Commissioning is a fixed-price package: PBX, carrier connection, extensions, Odoo integration, German voice. Expect a few working days. After that we take over operations, security updates and monitoring — or your Odoo partner does.
Every call as a record. And an AI that picks up when nobody can. Let us show you PhoneDesk on your own number — or drop by booth N3 in Brussels, September 24–26.
Pick your company size — we'll come back with a fitting proposal and a pilot plan.
