About this Product
Outsourcing fulfillment to a 3PL shouldn't mean flying blind inside Odoo. When your warehouse operations live in a third-party system but Odoo remains your system of record, you need a reliable, two-way bridge that keeps orders, stock levels and shipment tracking in perfect agreement — without warehouse staff rekeying data or exporting spreadsheets by hand.
The 3PL Order & Inventory Connector is a net-new module that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports specifically for your Odoo instance and your 3PL provider(s). This is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download — there is no generic "one size fits none" connector to wrestle with. We scope your exact fulfillment workflow, map it to your 3PL's API or file formats, and hand you a clean, maintainable Odoo add-on that fits Odoo 17, 18 and 19 (Community or Enterprise).
Under the hood, the connector is engineered the Odoo way. Order push and inventory sync are modeled as first-class Odoo objects (models.Model) with proper fields, @api.depends computed status indicators, and full audit trails. Every sync job is logged, retriable and visible from a dedicated backend menu built with standard views (XML/OWL). Access is locked down with ir.model.access.csv and record rules so only the right users and companies can trigger or view syncs. Scheduled synchronization runs via Odoo's ir.cron automated actions, while an on-demand "Sync Now" button lets ops staff push a rush order instantly. Where your 3PL exposes a REST/SOAP API we integrate directly; where it only offers file exchange, we handle XLSX/CSV import/export with per-provider mapping templates — and Odoo's own XML-RPC/JSON-RPC endpoints stay open for any upstream system that needs to read the synced data.
The result: sales orders flow to your 3PL automatically the moment they're confirmed, stock-on-hand from remote 3PL warehouses reflects into Odoo's inventory as an accurate quant picture, and carrier tracking numbers plus ASN details write back onto the delivery order so your customers get shipping confirmations and your team gets a single source of truth. You keep Odoo as the brain; the 3PL stays the hands.
Because it's build-to-order, delivery takes roughly one working week depending on the complexity of your provider's interface and the number of workflows in scope. You receive the full module source, a documented configuration, admin training and a post-launch support window — all covered below.
What you get
- Complete, commented module source code (Python models, XML/OWL views, security files, ir.cron definitions) delivered as an installable Odoo add-on you fully own
- A working, configured connection to your specific 3PL provider(s) — API credentials wired or file-exchange folders/templates set up and validated end-to-end
- Per-provider mapping templates pre-built for your SKUs, units of measure, order statuses and ship-to fields, ready to extend for future 3PLs
- Technical and admin documentation covering configuration, mapping, cron schedules, error handling and the retry/reconciliation workflow
- A live admin training session (recorded) for your fulfillment and IT staff, plus a quick-reference runbook
- A post-launch support and warranty window with defect fixes and mapping adjustments as your 3PL's interface evolves
- Deployment support on your Odoo 17/18/19 instance (staging validation, then production cut-over) with a rollback-safe install plan
Who this is for
Fulfillment-outsourcing merchant / operations lead
Runs an e-commerce or B2B brand that ships through one or more 3PLs but keeps Odoo as the system of record. Needs orders to reach the warehouse automatically and tracking to flow back — without staff copy-pasting spreadsheets between systems.
Inventory & supply-chain manager
Owns available-to-promise and reorder decisions. Depends on the 3PL's remote stock levels reflecting accurately in Odoo so purchasing, replenishment and website availability stay trustworthy.
Odoo administrator / internal IT
Maintains the Odoo instance and integrations. Wants a clean, standard-Odoo module (proper models, security, cron, logging) they can understand, extend and audit — not a black-box binary or brittle scripts.
Customer service / order-management team
Fields 'where is my order?' questions. Needs tracking numbers and shipment status visible on the Odoo delivery order so confirmations go out and they can answer customers from one screen.

Frequently Asked Questions about 3PL Order & Inventory Connector
How long does delivery take, and what's the process?
This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. Typical delivery is one working week from kickoff, depending on your 3PL's interface (API vs. file exchange) and how many workflows are in scope. We start with a short scoping call to map your fulfillment flow and your provider's spec, build and test the connector against a staging Odoo instance, validate an end-to-end sync (order out, stock in, tracking back), then deploy to production with your sign-off. You'll get progress checkpoints throughout.
What kind of support and updates do I get after launch?
Every build includes a post-launch support and warranty window covering defect fixes and mapping adjustments — useful because 3PLs occasionally change their API fields or file formats. Because you receive the full, documented source, your own team can maintain it too. We also offer optional ongoing support and Odoo version-upgrade retainers to keep the connector current as you move across Odoo 17, 18 and 19.
My 3PL doesn't have an API — can you still connect it?
Yes. The connector supports both direct API integration (REST/SOAP) and file-based exchange using XLSX/CSV. For file-only 3PLs we build export templates that match their intake spec exactly and import routines that read their inventory and tracking files, so you get the same automated, scheduled sync experience whether the provider is modern or old-school.
Will this keep my Odoo inventory accurate, or just push orders?
Both directions. Orders push out to the 3PL, and on-hand stock from the remote 3PL warehouse(s) syncs back into Odoo's inventory (stock.quant) so available-to-promise, reorder rules and website availability stay correct. Tracking numbers and ASN details also write back onto the delivery order. It's a true two-way bridge with Odoo as the system of record.
Which Odoo versions and editions does it support?
We build for Odoo 17, 18 and 19, on both Community and Enterprise. The module uses standard Odoo architecture — models.Model with computed fields, ir.model.access.csv and record rules for security, ir.cron for scheduling, and standard views — so it installs cleanly and upgrades predictably. Tell us your exact version and edition at scoping and we target it precisely.
Can I connect more than one 3PL, and change mappings later myself?
Yes. The connector uses per-provider mapping templates, so you can add additional 3PLs without new code, and an admin-facing mapping UI lets your team remap fields, SKUs, units and endpoints as providers change — no Python required for routine changes. Larger interface changes are covered under your support window or a small change request.
How do you prevent double-shipping or duplicate stock counts?
Every transfer is idempotent and retry-safe. Payloads are keyed so a re-run of a failed batch won't re-send an already-acknowledged order or double-apply an inventory delta. Each record carries a sync status (queued, sent, acknowledged, error) with full request/response logging and one-click retry, so reconciliation is safe and auditable.

3PL Order & Inventory Connector
Build-to-order Odoo module that syncs orders, stock levels and tracking between Odoo and any external 3PL via API or XLSX/CSV.
- Order push to 3PL over REST/SOAP API — confirmed sales orders and delivery orders are transmitted automatically with line items, SKUs, quantities, ship-to address and service level
- File-based order export as XLSX/CSV for 3PLs without an API, using a configurable column layout that matches the provider's intake spec exactly
- Inventory level sync from remote 3PL warehouses back into Odoo, reconciling on-hand quantities against stock.quant so available-to-promise stays accurate
- Tracking number and carrier writeback onto the Odoo delivery order (stock.picking), triggering Odoo's native shipping-confirmation emails to customers
