Why Integrate?
Real estate companies need integrated tools to manage properties, clients, contracts, and site visits. They also benefit from showing property locations on Google Maps and publishing listings on real estate marketing platforms like Property Finder, Bayut, or Aqar.
1. Integration with Google Maps
Use Cases:
· Display property locations directly on a map inside Odoo.
· Plan field tours for potential clients.
· Calculate distances and routes to nearby places (schools, malls, etc.).
· Enhance the user experience while browsing listings.
️ How It Works:
· Use the Google Maps API within the Odoo interface.
· Automatically enter coordinates or select the property location on the map.
· Embed the map inside the property detail page in Odoo.
2. Integration with Real Estate Marketing Platforms
Core Functions:
· Publish property listings directly from Odoo to advertising platforms (e.g., Bayut, Property Finder, OLX, Aqar).
· Import client inquiries and link them to Odoo’s CRM.
· Automatically sync images, prices, and property details.
