Key Features

Bay/wash-line model (`carwash.bay`) with per-bay capacity, service types, and opening-hour calendars driving a real appointment grid
Slot scheduling on `carwash.appointment` with `@api.constrains` overlap prevention and a SQL unique constraint so no two jobs claim the same bay-slot
Configurable service packages as `product.product` with a structured add-on detailing menu (ceramic coating, engine bay, pet-hair, headlight restoration) assembled onto the order
Recurring wash-plan memberships (`carwash.membership`) with unlimited or credit-based entitlements, `product.pricelist`-driven pricing, and a billing cadence
Membership entitlement check enforced at POS and on appointment confirmation — lapsed or exhausted plans are blocked, not silently comped
Per-vehicle profiles (`carwash.vehicle` or `fleet.vehicle` link) storing plate, make/model, size class, notes, and full chronological service history
Appointment state machine (`draft`→`scheduled`→`in_bay`→`done`→`invoiced`) with computed estimated finish time via `@api.depends`
POS integration: package + add-on menu on the POS screen, membership validation, and receipt printing through Odoo point_of_sale
OWL-based queue/now-serving display board fed live from appointment states for the waiting area or a mounted screen
QWeb reports: branded per-job service receipt and a monthly membership-revenue and package-mix statement
Automated actions + scheduled crons for recurring membership renewal billing, no-show flagging, and reminder notifications
Multi-branch record rules and `ir.model.access.csv` scoping data and permissions by company/location for multi-site operators
Calendar and kanban/gantt views (edition-appropriate) for dispatchers, plus a mobile-friendly check-in form
XML-RPC/JSON-RPC endpoints for kiosk check-in, license-plate camera capture, or a companion booking app
Loyalty hooks tying repeat washes and add-ons to Odoo loyalty/coupon so members accrue rewards on every visit

About this Product

Car wash and detailing centers live and die by throughput at the bay. A center running plain Odoo quickly hits the wall: Sales and POS can sell a "Premium Wash" as a product, but there is no concept of a physical bay, a time slot, or a queue; a customer's vehicle is just free text on an order line, so nobody can pull up "last time this SUV was here we used the clay bar and it needed a headlight restoration"; and recurring unlimited wash plans have no engine to authorize a member's daily visit or stop a lapsed card getting a free wash. Teams end up running the actual operation on a whiteboard and a spreadsheet while Odoo only sees the money after the fact — which means no capacity planning, no membership margin visibility, and no service history.

ECOSIRE builds a dedicated Odoo module that closes that gap. We add first-class models for bays/wash lines (carwash.bay), appointments (carwash.appointment linked to res.partner, a fleet.vehicle or a lightweight carwash.vehicle profile, and the chosen carwash.package), and memberships (carwash.membership driven by a product.pricelist, a billing cadence, and an entitlement counter). Service packages are configurable products with an add-on detailing menu (ceramic coating, engine bay, pet-hair removal, headlight restoration) so an order is assembled fast at the counter or a self-service kiosk. Every appointment carries a state machine (draft → scheduled → in_bay → done → invoiced) with @api.depends computed durations and an estimated finish, so the queue display and the bay calendar stay honest.

Technically it is a clean addon: a proper __manifest__.py declaring dependencies on base, sale_management, point_of_sale, calendar, and optionally fleet; models in models/ using models.Model with typed fields, @api.depends/@api.constrains for slot-overlap prevention and entitlement checks, and SQL constraints so two appointments can never own the same bay-slot. Access control ships as ir.model.access.csv plus record rules that scope data by branch/company for multi-location operators. The UI is Odoo views (list/form/calendar/kanban/gantt where the edition allows, with an OWL queue-display widget), automated actions and scheduled crons drive recurring membership billing and no-show handling, and QWeb reports produce the branded service receipt and a monthly membership-revenue statement. POS integration adds the package and add-on menu to the POS screen and validates membership entitlement at the point of sale; the whole thing is reachable over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for kiosks, license-plate cameras, or a mobile check-in app.

Because it is build-to-order, we scope it to your reality first: your bay count and opening hours, your exact package/add-on menu and pricing, whether memberships are unlimited or credit-based, single-site or multi-branch, and Community vs Enterprise (calendar/gantt and studio-style niceties differ — we build to whichever edition you run, targeting Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0). After a short scoping call we confirm the spec in writing, build on staging, run UAT with your data, then install on your instance. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. You receive the full installable source and the git repository — there is no lock-in, and you or any Odoo partner can extend it later.

What you get

  • Installable, version-matched source code for your Odoo edition (17.0, 18.0, or 19.0)
  • Installation and configuration on your instance — bays, hours, package/add-on menu, and membership plans set up with you
  • Technical documentation: model reference, security matrix (`ir.model.access.csv` + record rules), and API/integration notes
  • End-user guide plus a live training session for counter staff, dispatchers, and managers
  • UAT on a staging copy with your real data, sign-off checklist, and a documented rollback plan
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments
  • Handover of the full git repository — no lock-in, extendable by you or any Odoo partner
  • QWeb receipt and membership-statement templates styled to your branding

Who this is for

Independent car wash owner

Runs one site with a few bays and a growing unlimited-wash membership base. Needs Odoo to schedule bays, enforce who actually has a valid plan, and show real membership margin instead of guessing from POS totals.

Multi-branch detailing chain operator

Operates several locations and wants one Odoo instance with branch-scoped record rules, per-site bay calendars, consolidated membership billing, and a package/add-on menu that is consistent across sites.

Odoo administrator / implementation partner

Owns the client's Odoo. Wants a clean, well-structured addon with a proper `__manifest__.py`, sane models, tests, and the git repo — something they can read, extend, and maintain rather than a black box.

Operations / front-desk manager

Lives in the daily queue. Needs a fast check-in that pulls the vehicle's history, a live now-serving board, no-show handling, and a receipt that prints without fuss during a rush.

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Wash & Auto-Detailing Management

How long does delivery take?

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant apps.odoo.com download. After a short scoping call we confirm the spec in writing, then build, test on staging, and install. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, depending on how many bays, branches, and membership rules are involved.

Which Odoo versions and editions do you support?

We target Odoo 17.0, 18.0, and 19.0, on both Community and Enterprise. Some views differ by edition (for example gantt and certain calendar features are Enterprise) — we build the module to whichever edition you run so nothing depends on features you do not have.

How do updates and support work after go-live?

Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration tweaks. You also receive the full git repository, so there is no lock-in — you or any Odoo partner can maintain and extend it. Version upgrades (for example moving from 17 to 18) and new features are scoped as follow-on work.

Can it enforce unlimited and credit-based membership plans?

Yes. Memberships are modeled with entitlement logic that is checked at POS and on appointment confirmation. Unlimited plans validate the membership is active; credit-based plans decrement a counter. Lapsed or exhausted plans are blocked rather than silently comped, which is exactly what plain Odoo cannot do.

Will it work with our existing POS and vehicle data?

It builds on Odoo's own point_of_sale and can link vehicles to `fleet.vehicle` if you use Fleet, or to a lightweight `carwash.vehicle` model otherwise. During UAT we migrate or map your existing customer and vehicle records so history is preserved from day one.

Can kiosks, plate cameras, or a booking app connect to it?

Yes. Everything is reachable over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API, so a self-service kiosk, a license-plate camera, or a mobile check-in app can create appointments, look up vehicle history, and validate memberships against the same records staff use.

Do we own the code?

Yes. You receive the complete installable source and the git repository at handover. There is no per-seat license fee to us and no lock-in — the module is yours to run and extend.
