Key Features

Competitor master data: define competitors, their storefronts, marketplaces, countries and currencies as first-class Odoo records linked to your product catalog
SKU-to-competitor mapping so each of your Odoo products is matched to the exact competitor listing(s) it competes with, including many-to-many rivals per SKU
Scheduled auto-fetch of competitor prices via a configurable ir.cron job (hourly, daily, or custom) with per-source cadence and retry handling
Multi-currency, multi-country normalization — captured prices are converted to your company currency using Odoo's res.currency rates for apples-to-apples comparison
Price observation ledger: every fetch is stored as a timestamped record, giving you a full immutable history rather than an overwritten last-value field
Computed price-gap and undercut fields (@api.depends) showing absolute and % difference between your price and each competitor, refreshed on every fetch
Manual and automated comparison views (list, pivot, graph) that rank your catalog by exposure — biggest undercuts, widest margin risk, and price leaders at a glance
Configurable notification rules: trigger alerts on lowest-market-price, competitor undercut beyond a threshold, or competitor out-of-stock, per product category or buyer
Automated actions that email, post to Discuss, or create an activity/to-do on the responsible category manager when a rule fires — no polling a dashboard
Price-history charts and trend detection surfacing rising/falling patterns, volatility, and price-war signals over configurable windows
QWeb price-position report (PDF/HTML) summarizing where each SKU or category sits versus the market, ready for pricing-committee meetings
Optional suggested-price / repricing hints that flag SKUs where a price move would regain the buy-box or protect target margin (advisory, human-approved)
Record rules and ir.model.access.csv security so analysts, category managers, and regional teams each see only their own scope
XML-RPC / JSON-RPC API exposure so BI tools (Power BI, Metabase) or a downstream repricing engine can read the intelligence Odoo captures
Works on Odoo 17, 18 and 19, Community or Enterprise, and coexists cleanly with Sales, Purchase, and pricelists without patching core

About this Product

Your pricing team is stitching together market intelligence in spreadsheets, browser tabs, and screenshots — then re-keying it back into Odoo where the actual product records, price lists, and margins live. Every hour spent copying a competitor's price is an hour not spent deciding what to do about it, and by the time the sheet is updated the competitor has already moved again.

Competitor Price Monitoring & Intelligence is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs, and supports for your instance. It brings market-price visibility directly into the ERP that already holds your catalog, so a pricing analyst or category manager can see how each of your products is priced against the market, spot undercuts the moment they happen, and act — without leaving Odoo.

This is not an off-the-shelf apps.odoo.com download. We build it against your Odoo 17, 18, or 19 database (Community or Enterprise), map it to your real product records and price lists, wire it to the marketplaces and competitor sites you actually sell against, and hand you clean, upgrade-safe code. A typical build runs one working week depending on the number of source integrations and the depth of your alerting and reporting requirements.

Under the hood it is a proper Odoo app: new models (models.Model) for competitors, monitored SKUs, and captured price observations; compute fields with @api.depends for price gaps, undercut flags, and margin impact; a scheduled ir.cron job that auto-fetches prices on the cadence you set; automated actions and configurable notification rules that email or Discuss-notify your team on lowest-price, undercut, and out-of-stock events; list/form/graph/pivot views (XML/OWL) plus a QWeb price-position report; and record-level security via ir.model.access.csv and record rules so each buyer or region only sees their own catalog. Data flows in over connectors we build to your sources and flows out over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API for BI tools or downstream repricing.

The result is a single, governed source of competitive price truth that lives beside your margins — so pricing decisions get made on current data, inside the system of record, by the people who own them.

What you get

  • Custom Odoo module (full source): __manifest__.py, Python models, security CSV + record rules, XML/OWL views, ir.cron definitions, automated actions, and the QWeb report — installed on your instance
  • Source-connector build-out for your specific marketplaces and competitor sites/feeds, with the fetch cadence configured to your requirements
  • Configuration of your competitors, SKU mappings, currencies, notification rules, and alert recipients against your live catalog
  • Deployment to your staging and production Odoo (17/18/19, Community or Enterprise), with an upgrade-safe, modular codebase and Git handover
  • Documentation set: admin guide, notification-rule configuration guide, data-model reference, and an operations runbook for the scheduled fetch job
  • Live training session(s) for your pricing analysts and category managers, plus a recording and quick-start cheat sheet
  • Post-launch support & warranty window covering bug fixes and adjustments, with an optional ongoing support/maintenance retainer
  • Test coverage and a validated go-live checklist so the cron, alerts, and comparison views are verified in your environment before handover

Who this is for

Pricing Analyst

Owns day-to-day market monitoring. Needs current competitor prices sitting next to Odoo margins, undercut alerts pushed to them, and price-history charts to justify moves — without exporting data or living in browser tabs.

Category / Product Manager

Owns a portfolio's competitiveness. Wants a per-category view of where their SKUs sit versus the market, rule-based alerts scoped to their catalog, and a QWeb report to bring to the pricing committee.

E-commerce / Marketplace Manager

Sells across multiple marketplaces and countries. Needs multi-currency, multi-marketplace price capture, out-of-stock signals on rival listings, and buy-box/undercut visibility mapped to the exact SKUs they list.

Operations / ERP Lead

Owns the Odoo instance. Wants competitive data inside the system of record with proper record-rule security, a reliable scheduled job, clean upgrade-safe code, and API access for downstream BI or repricing — not another disconnected SaaS silo.

Frequently Asked Questions about Competitor Price Monitoring & Intelligence

How long until it's live, and what's the process?

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. A typical build runs one working week from kickoff, depending on how many marketplaces/competitor sites we integrate and how deep your alerting and reporting needs are. The flow is: discovery (your sources, SKUs, currencies, and rules) → we build the module and connectors → we deploy to your staging Odoo for review → you sign off → we install on production and train your team. You'll get a schedule with milestones at kickoff.

How do I get support, updates, and fixes after launch?

Every build includes a post-launch warranty window for bug fixes and adjustments. After that, we offer an optional support & maintenance retainer covering issue resolution, Odoo version upgrades (e.g. 18→19), adding new competitor sources or marketplaces, and tuning notification rules as your strategy changes. Because you receive the full source and Git repo, you're never locked in — your own team can maintain it too.

Which Odoo versions and editions does it work with?

We build against Odoo 17, 18, and 19, on both Community and Enterprise. The module is written as a standard Odoo app — its own models, ir.model.access.csv security, views, and ir.cron jobs — so it installs cleanly alongside Sales, Purchase, and your pricelists without modifying Odoo core, which keeps future upgrades safe.

Where do the competitor prices actually come from?

During discovery we confirm the exact marketplaces, storefronts, and competitor sites you compete against and the best legally available way to capture each — official marketplace/product APIs and data feeds where they exist, and structured web collection where they don't. We build connectors to those sources and run them on a scheduled ir.cron job. We only collect publicly available pricing data and follow each source's terms; we'll flag any source that can't be captured compliantly before we build it.

How do alerts work, and will they overwhelm my team?

Alerts are driven by configurable notification rules you control — for example, fire only when a competitor undercuts by more than X%, when you lose the lowest-market-price position, or when a rival goes out of stock. Rules are scoped by product category and routed to the responsible analyst or category manager via email, Odoo Discuss, or an activity/to-do. Thresholds and recipients are tunable, so you get signal, not noise.

Can the data feed our BI tools or a repricing engine?

Yes. All captured observations, price gaps, and trend fields live in Odoo models and are readable over Odoo's standard XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API, so tools like Power BI or Metabase can report on them and a downstream repricing process can consume them. The module also generates a QWeb price-position report for pricing meetings. Any automated repricing we build stays advisory/human-approved unless you explicitly ask for closed-loop automation.

Is the data secure and properly scoped per team?

Yes. Access is enforced with ir.model.access.csv model permissions plus record rules, so a regional buyer or category manager only sees the competitors and SKUs in their scope. It runs entirely inside your own Odoo instance — no third-party SaaS holds your catalog or margin data — and follows your existing Odoo user, group, and audit setup.
