Running a bookshop on generic Odoo works until the details of the trade start to bite. A book is not just a product — it carries an ISBN-13 (and often a legacy ISBN-10), an imprint, an author, a series, a format (hardback, paperback, ebook, audio), an edition, and a publication date, and titles arrive on radically different commercial terms: firm-sale, sale-or-return, and publisher consignment. Odoo core gives you product.template, a barcode field, and a solid Point of Sale, but it has no native concept of "return this unsold stock to the distributor next quarter," no bibliographic identity beyond a single barcode, and no clean way to reconcile a consignment statement. Booksellers end up bending fields, keeping spreadsheets alongside Odoo, and losing the thread on what they actually owe each publisher.

This is a build-to-order retail configuration that ECOSIRE designs and builds to your shop's real workflow — not a template you self-install. Technically it extends product.template/product.product with bibliographic fields (ISBN-13/ISBN-10 with check-digit validation enforced by an @api.constrains guard, imprint, author many2many, series, format, edition, publisher list price vs. your net cost), and adds a book.consignment model to track sale-or-return and consignment terms with @api.depends computed fields that roll up units received, units sold, and units due back. Barcode scanning in POS is wired to resolve on ISBN so a scanned book jumps straight to the correct variant, and a QWeb "returns manifest" report generates the pick-and-pack list for stock going back to a distributor. Access is governed with a proper ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so shop-floor staff, buyers, and the owner each see the right scope.

On top of the data model we build the operational layer you actually run the shop with: reorder points and buyer worksheets driven from sell-through, an automated action that flags slow-moving consignment stock as its return window approaches, and optional integration to a distributor or wholesaler feed via Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API so new-title metadata and availability can be pulled in rather than keyed by hand. Everything is delivered as a versioned Odoo module with its own __manifest__.py, targeting Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0 on Community or Enterprise — we confirm the edition during scoping because a few conveniences (e.g. advanced studio-style tweaks and certain accounting flows) differ between the two, and we build to what you run.

Delivery is build-to-order. After a short scoping call we confirm the exact fields, terms handling, POS behavior, reports, and any integrations, then hand back a fixed written quote and timeline; typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, faster for a lean configuration and longer where multi-company or distributor integrations are involved. You get the installable source, deployment on your server or Odoo.sh, UAT on a staging copy with a rollback plan, documentation, and a training session before go-live. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company or multi-branch operation, distributor/wholesaler API integrations, and the depth of catalog data migration increase the quoted scope.
