eCommerce businesses running Odoo face a specific and costly problem, their online store, their physical POS, and their backend inventory are three separate realities that never agree with each other. Orders placed on Shopify do not update Odoo stock. WooCommerce prices differ from what the sales team quotes. The POS system at the counter has no idea what the warehouse holds. Payment reconciliation is done manually every week. These are not small inefficiencies, they are revenue leaks and compliance risks that grow with the business. On Toptal, I have specialized in solving exactly this class of problem for eCommerce and retail businesses globally. I build full Odoo eCommerce websites optimized for conversion and SEO, integrate WooCommerce and Shopify stores with live bidirectional inventory synchronization, connect Amazon and eBay channels for unified multi-channel order management, and configure Point of Sale systems including hardware setup, loyalty programs, gift cards, and dynamic pricelist logic. I integrate payment gateways including Stripe and PayPal, configure shipping and delivery rules across multiple carriers and regions, and implement live chat and helpdesk widgets that feed directly into Odoo's CRM. Every commerce solution I deliver is built so that the store, the counter, and the warehouse speak the same language in real time.

Odoo Technical Developer & API Specialist

The most common problem I encounter with technical Odoo clients is a system that works out of the box but breaks the moment their business needs something specific. Standard modules cannot handle their unique pricing logic. Their warehouse process does not map to default Odoo flows. They need Odoo to talk to an external platform, a payment provider, a logistics API, a custom ERP. Over six year ago on Freelancer.com, I have been the developer businesses turn to when off-the-shelf Odoo is not enough. I build custom Python modules from the ground up, architect REST API and JSON-RPC integrations that connect Odoo to any third-party system, develop XML and JavaScript frontend customizations, and design AI-powered workflow automation that eliminates manual processes entirely. My technical work covers Odoo Studio customizations, QWeb-based custom PDF reports and executive dashboards, webhook configurations, scheduled actions and cron jobs, business logic automation, external database synchronization, and alert and notification systems. Every solution I build is stress-tested against the client's real operational data before delivery. Clients come to me when the problem is complex, the deadline is real, and getting it wrong is not an option.

Odoo Functional Consultant & Solutions Architect

Growing businesses that have been on Odoo for a few years tend to arrive at the same breaking point, the system they set up when they had twenty employees no longer fits a company of two hundred. HR processes are tracked in spreadsheets alongside Odoo. Payroll is calculated outside the system and entered manually. The version they are running is three releases behind and nobody wants to touch the upgrade for fear of breaking everything. Staff turnover means institutional knowledge about how the system works is disappearing. I worked as a global ERP consultancy, I served as lead Odoo functional consultant responsible for solving this exact category of problem for enterprise clients across multiple industries. I configured the full Odoo HR suite including payroll, employee lifecycle management, leave and attendance tracking, recruitment pipelines, performance appraisals, expense management, and fleet modules, all mapped precisely to each client's internal HR policy and labour law requirements. I managed complex version migrations from Odoo v14 through to v19, handled SaaS to self-hosted transitions and the reverse, resolved module conflicts and upgrade failures, and optimized system performance for databases carrying years of operational data. Beyond technical delivery, I built SOP documentation, delivered structured 1-on-1 and team training programs, produced video walkthroughs for non-technical staff, and designed monthly support retainer structures that kept clients running without disruption after go-live.
