Competitor Price Monitoring & Intelligence

This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. A typical build runs 2–4 weeks 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
