ShippingBo - Odoo connector: finally align your logistics and finance
Automatically synchronize your inventory, receipts, and invoices between ShippingBo and Odoo.
Do you use ShippingBo to manage your logistics operations and Odoo to handle purchasing, product catalog management, and invoicing?
The connector between ShippingBo and Odoo simplifies and automates the management of logistical and commercial flows by seamlessly integrating both systems. This integration ensures smooth synchronization of essential data, providing better visibility and optimized management of inventory, products, and invoicing.
Why connect ShippingBo to Odoo?
Today, most teams juggle multiple tools: ERP, WMS, e-commerce, marketplaces… and the same information is often entered several times.
The ShippingBo–Odoo connector addresses three key challenges:
Reduce data-entry errors
Fewer copy-paste operations, fewer spreadsheets, less manual input… and therefore fewer mistakes in stock levels and invoices.
Save time every day
Information flows automatically between your logistics, purchasing, and finance teams. Everyone works within their own tool, but with shared, up-to-date data.
Make better decisions
With reliable inventory and synchronized data, you can confidently manage procurement, margins, and logistics capacity.
What the connector actually does
Automate receiving and warehouse preparation
- The expected receipts (supplier orders, expected quantities, etc.) are automatically sent from Odoo to ShippingBo.
- Your warehouse teams have a clear view of what needs to be received and prepared.
- No more re-entering or exporting lists: everything is already in the WMS.
▶ Benefit: your logistics teams can focus on operations, not administration.
Update stock levels in real time
- With every validated receipt or stock movement in ShippingBo, stock levels are updated in Odoo.
- You have an accurate picture of your stock in the ERP: by product, by warehouse, by channel.
▶ Benefit: you avoid stockouts, overstocking, and unpleasant surprises at the end of the month.
Secure supplier invoicing
- The quantities actually received in the warehouse are automatically pushed back into Odoo.
- Invoicing is based on real data, not on a theoretical order.
- Discrepancies are identified more quickly, disputes decrease, and controls become easier.
▶ Benefit: your finance teams save time and improve the reliability of their closing processes.
Centralize product catalog management
- Odoo remains your product master data source: creation and maintenance of the catalog.
- The connector exports the catalog (and the necessary information) to ShippingBo.
- No more duplicate SKUs or inconsistent product sheets from one tool to another.
▶ Benefit: a single, coherent catalog shared across finance, logistics, and sales.
