Ticketing for local tourism associations¶
On a Saturday morning during peak season, your local tourism association is running with two volunteers at the counter and one staff member as backup. They need to sell a hiking pass, a ticket for the nearby cave, and point a visitor toward the afternoon's guided tour.
Volunteers who change from day to day, a staff member who can't oversee everything, and yet no room for error on rates or available quotas — all without being able to impose several days of training on each newcomer.
The Billetterie module for Odoo offers immediate onboarding at the counter, rates and quotas already set up in advance, and availability that's always up to date, avoiding selling more tickets than there are actual seats. Whether it's a Sunday volunteer or a seasoned staff member, everyone sells from the same simple interface, with no risk of input error.
The 4 key benefits¶
-
Quick onboarding for volunteers
A simple sales interface at the counter, usable after a few minutes of explanation — ideal for a team that rotates based on everyone's availability.
-
Availability you can always trust
Quotas for each ticket or tourist pass are deducted in real time, so you never sell beyond the site or activity's actual capacity.
-
Sales tracking without complexity
A clear sales overview, viewable in a few clicks by the staff member, with no spreadsheet to update by hand every evening.
-
Native Odoo integration
No third-party tool to connect : ticketing relies directly on your existing Odoo CRM, accounting, and inventory.
What each module brings to your local tourism association¶
The Billetterie module builds on Odoo's existing building blocks — each one covers a step of the visitor journey, from the neighborhood counter to the relationship with your local providers.

Access control : validating outings organized in-house¶
- Validation via mobile app for tours or outings organized directly by the association
- A ticket that has already been scanned cannot be reused by another visitor
- Number of participants present visible in real time, useful for a volunteer working alone on site
Channels manager : expanding distribution (coming soon)¶
A local tourism association often relays tickets for nearby providers it doesn't manage itself — without being able to afford manual re-entry of availability. The Channels manager module, currently in development, will let you sync this availability directly from Odoo.

A local tourism association often relays tickets for local attractions and points visitors toward tours organized nearby. Two other sectors worth exploring :
- Attractions — for nearby sites with combined box-office/online ticketing, such as museums (see the example)
- Tours — for guided tours organized in the territory (see the example)
