Households and Families, Unified in One Contact Record
Group contacts into households with a shared, synced address, family-aware salutations, an interactive genealogy family tree, and giving reports built for churches, nonprofits, schools, and alumni associations.
The problem
Odoo Contacts treats every person as a standalone record, so spouses and children get duplicate addresses, one home receives three separate mailings, and donation reports double-count what a single family gave. Staff spend hours manually deduplicating contacts, fixing envelope names by hand, and tracking down which child belongs to which household.
The solution
Group related contacts into a single household with one synced address, automatic family-aware display names, and ready-made salutation presets. Donor segmentation, household-level giving reports, an interactive family tree, and a self-service portal complete the picture — without losing each member’s own individual record.
Everything a family-first contact database needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Household Grouping & Synced Address
Group any number of contacts into a household with one shared, synced address. A visible sync-status badge on every member shows at a glance whether their address is inherited or overridden.
Family Names & Salutation Presets
Household display names compute automatically (“The Smith Family”), and ready-made salutation presets for churches, nonprofits, schools, and alumni associations give staff a correctly-addressed greeting on day one, with per-family overrides.
Full Relationship Taxonomy
Record spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, and other relationship types once; the app automatically creates the reciprocal link on the other member, so the family graph always stays consistent.
Interactive Family Tree
An in-app multi-generation family tree visualizes every household’s genealogy, with vital and genealogy fields (birth and death dates, blood group, native place) attached to each member.
Printable Family Tree Report
Export a clean, printable PDF lineage report for any household member, complete with an auto-generated index — ready to hand to family historians or keep on file.
Donor Segmentation & Giving Reports
Classify households as donor, member, or constituent, log contributions per household, and roll them up into pivot and graph reports so no family’s giving is double- or under-counted.
Guided Setup Wizard
A step-by-step setup wizard walks staff through creating a household and adding its members, so the workflow reads as user tasks, not system fields.
Bulk Member Management
A dedicated Family Members list lets staff review, filter, and bulk-update every contact’s household, role, and relationships from one screen instead of editing records one at a time.
Portal Self-Service
Members log into the customer portal to view their household, address, relationships, and giving history from any device, read-only and mobile-responsive.
How it works
Create a Household
Add a household record and pick an organization-type salutation preset (church, nonprofit, school, alumni) as your starting point.
Add Members
Link existing contacts or create new ones with the guided setup wizard; addresses sync automatically and roles (Primary, Spouse, Child, Dependent) are assigned.
Map Relationships
Record how members relate to each other; reciprocal links are created automatically and the family tree updates in real time.
Report & Engage
Track household-level giving, print a family tree PDF, and let members check their own details through the portal.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
It works alongside Contacts. Every household member stays a full contact record with its own individual life events, roles, and history; the app adds a household layer on top, so nothing you already track is lost.
