Odoo

Extend Odoo without developing

The customer side of your Odoo — approvals, questions and documents in one place instead of an email thread.

Odoo does almost everything — except the outward side facing your customer. athemi adds it, without commissioning a module.

What is Odoo?

Odoo is the world's leading open-source business management suite, with over 12 million users across more than 120 countries. Originally developed in Belgium, Odoo offers a modular platform spanning CRM, sales, accounting, inventory, e-commerce, manufacturing, HR, and website building — all integrated into a single database.

Odoo is available in three flavors: Odoo Online (SaaS at odoo.com), Odoo.sh (managed cloud hosting for custom modules), and Community / Enterprise on-premises. athemi connects to all three via Odoo's official XML-RPC API.

How athemi integrates with Odoo

What athemi connects to Odoo:

📥

Quotations in draft or sent

athemi reads exactly the quotations still in play (draft, sent) and moves one into a project with a click.

🔄

Your company structure survives

Odoo uses parent_id to place a person under a company. athemi reads that structure and writes new placements back into it.

Confirmation without the detour

Your customer's approval confirms the sale order in Odoo — no manual follow-up, no second place holding the truth.

📤

No custom module, no upkeep

athemi talks to the Odoo API you already have. No custom module to re-verify at every Odoo upgrade.

Best for

For Odoo users who would rather not solve the customer side with yet another custom module — especially once you know what every in-house extension costs at the next Odoo upgrade.

Frequently asked questions about Odoo & athemi

No. Any Odoo user with access to the Sales and Contacts modules works. For full functionality (including vendor bill import), the user also needs access to Accounting. athemi only performs actions the connected user is authorized to do in Odoo.
Your database name is visible in the URL bar when logged in — typically it's the part before .odoo.com (e.g. acme in acme.odoo.com). For self-hosted Odoo, it's the name you chose during installation.
