ODOO INTEGRATION HUB

PythonOdooPostgreSQLREST APIs
TECHNICAL SUMMARY

A central integration hub built inside Odoo ERP to automate business-critical operations. The organization struggled with manual data entry between field devices and the ERP, delaying inventory management and financial reporting. Custom Python modules extend Odoo's models and expose a restricted REST API for field workers, with PostgreSQL indexing optimized for high-frequency writes and webhook-based alerts for external task routing. The system handles thousands of automated status transitions per day.

ENGINEERING_DECISIONS
PROBLEM ▸Field data was re-typed by hand into the ERP, delaying inventory and financial reporting.
DECISION ▸A restricted REST API over custom Odoo modules lets field devices sync in real time.
PROBLEM ▸A standalone middleware would duplicate business data outside the ERP.
DECISION ▸Built inside Odoo to keep a single source of truth, accepting the ORM's complexity under high load.
PROBLEM ▸High-frequency writes from field devices strained the database.
DECISION ▸PostgreSQL indexing optimized specifically for the hot write paths.
CHALLENGE
Real-time device-to-ERP sync without breaking single-source-of-truth integrity.
IMPACT
Manual synchronization reduced from 4 hours daily to under 5 minutes.
