· You can build a mobile app fully integrated with Odoo, whether for staff or customers.
What Does Integration Between Odoo and Mobile Apps/Custom Frontends Mean?
It refers to building a mobile app or external platform (website/custom interface) that connects directly to Odoo’s database, enabling real-time data exchange. This allows for a more flexible and streamlined experience for either employees or customers—without needing to access the full Odoo interface.
Types of Apps You Can Integrate:
1. Internal Employee Apps:
o Attendance & check-in/out
o Task or request management
o Sales or delivery team dashboards
2. Customer-Facing Apps:
o Product ordering apps
o Loyalty point systems
o Appointment booking apps
o Order and invoice tracking
How Does the Integration Work Technically?
· Using Odoo’s APIs (REST or XML-RPC)
· Through webhooks or shared databases
· Direct integration via mobile frameworks like Flutter, React Native, Swift, or Java
Real-Life Use Cases:
· An eCommerce business wants to sync its mobile app with Odoo to update products, inventory, and invoices.
· A clinic builds a booking app connected to Odoo’s calendar module.
· A logistics company develops a driver app to receive delivery orders from Odoo and update statuses in real time.
Benefits of This Integration:
· Flexibility in customizing UI/UX
· Enhanced user experience for both employees and clients
· Live data synchronization between the app and Odoo
· Improved operational efficiency and monitoring
