A fish farm does not run on products and quantities — it runs on biomass that grows, eats and dies every single day. Your 180,000 tilapia in Pond B-4 are not a stock quantity; they are a stocking event, minus daily mortality, times an average weight you only learn by netting a sample twice a month. Feed is your biggest cost line and your only real growth lever, yet feed conversion ratio is normally reconstructed in a spreadsheet weeks after harvest, when it is far too late to change the feeding table. Odoo out of the box has no concept of any of this. stock.quant holds a static number, a manufacturing order assumes a fixed bill of materials that consumes and produces in one step, and stock.lot gives you a lot number but nothing that models a 200-day grow-out cycle with daily feed events and fortnightly weight samples. Teams that try to force it end up with the ponds in Excel and an ERP that only sees the fish on the day they are sold.
What ECOSIRE builds is a proper aquaculture production layer inside Odoo. The core is a stocking batch model — a models.Model for each pond, cage, raceway or tank as a physical site, and a production cycle record that owns the stocking event (fingerlings received, count, average stocking weight, source hatchery, species and strain). From there, daily operational records post against the cycle: feed events linked to real Odoo products so consumption creates stock.move records and your feed inventory actually decrements; mortality records that reduce the standing population; water quality readings (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, salinity) captured against the site with configurable threshold bands; and treatment events that carry a withdrawal period. Sampling records store sample count and total sample weight, and compute methods with @api.depends derive mean body weight, standing biomass, specific growth rate, survival percentage and both biological and economic FCR live on the cycle form — so the farm manager sees FCR drifting on day 90, not in a post-mortem. Feeding tables are configurable per species and size class so the system proposes a daily ration as a percentage of standing biomass, and automated actions (ir.cron plus server actions) flag cycles where issued feed has diverged from the plan or where a water-quality reading has breached its band.
Harvest is modelled as a real event rather than an inventory adjustment. A harvest record captures partial or full harvests, splits the catch into grade lines by size band with count and weight per grade, reconciles harvested biomass against the last computed standing biomass so you get an explicit variance instead of a silent one, and produces graded stock into Odoo inventory under lots that back-reference the cycle. That is where traceability closes: a QWeb report gives you a per-lot certificate showing site, species, stocking date and origin, the full feed and treatment history with withdrawal compliance, the water-quality record and the harvest data — the document a processor, a buyer or a BAP/ASC/GlobalG.A.P. reviewer actually asks for. Because everything is a native Odoo model, it is all reachable over XML-RPC and JSON-RPC, so pond-side probes, feed barge software or a mobile capture app can post feed and mortality events straight into the cycle without anyone rekeying a paper logbook.
Security and deployment follow Odoo conventions rather than shortcuts. Access is defined in ir.model.access.csv with dedicated Farm Operator, Farm Manager and Read-only groups, and record rules scope data per farm site and per company so a multi-site or multi-country operator can share one database safely. Views are standard XML — list, form, a kanban of ponds coloured by alert state, a calendar for sampling and harvest planning, and pivot/graph views for FCR, survival and cost-per-kilo — with OWL components used only where a genuinely custom interaction earns them. The module is written to install cleanly on Odoo 17.0, 18.0 or 19.0 (you tell us which, and whether Community or Enterprise) with a __manifest__.py declaring only the dependencies your build actually needs. Everything core runs on Community; on Enterprise we can additionally wire cycle costing into analytic accounting and surface the operational dashboards through the Enterprise reporting widgets.
This is a build-to-order product, not a download. You request a quotation, we run a scoping call, and we write down exactly what your farm does — species, systems (pond, cage, RAS, raceway), feeding regime, sampling protocol, grading bands, whether hatchery and nursery stages are in scope, which certification scheme you report against, and what has to integrate. That scope becomes a fixed quotation and a written specification. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope, depending on complexity and integration surface. We build against your Odoo version on a staging database, you run UAT on your own data, and only then do we deploy to production with a rollback plan. You receive the full source, the git repository, technical and user documentation, a training session and a post-go-live support window — and because you own the code, nothing about your farm's operating model is locked behind a vendor.
Runs the grow-out cycles day to day and is measured on FCR, survival and harvest tonnage. Needs standing biomass and feed conversion visible while the cycle is still running, so a drifting feeding table can be corrected on day 90 rather than explained after harvest.
Manages several ponds, cages or sites, sometimes across companies or countries, and currently reconciles site spreadsheets by hand. Needs one Odoo database with per-site record rules, comparable cost-per-kilo across sites and a single view of which cycles are on plan.
Answers to processors, buyers and certification schemes such as BAP, ASC or GlobalG.A.P. Needs a printable, defensible traceability record per harvest lot — origin, feed and treatment history, withdrawal compliance, water quality — produced from the operational system rather than assembled from folders.
Wants feed, fingerling and treatment cost tied to the cycle that consumed them and to the biomass that came out, so cost-per-kilo and cycle margin are real accounting figures inside Odoo instead of a spreadsheet model kept beside the ERP.
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to real fish-farm operations | Built around your actual species, systems, feeding tables and grading bands, captured in a written spec before development | Can fit perfectly, but the domain model is invented from scratch by a team learning aquaculture on your budget | Generic pond and feed screens assuming one farming model; your protocol bends to fit the module | No aquaculture concepts at all — a pond is a stock location and a fish is a product |
| Biomass and FCR visibility | Standing biomass, SGR, survival and biological/economic FCR computed live on the cycle via `@api.depends` | Achievable, but the compute chain and sampling maths are the hardest part to get right first time | Often a stored field updated by hand, or FCR only calculated once the cycle closes | Not available; reconstructed in a spreadsheet after harvest, if at all |
| Traceability documentation | QWeb lot certificate with origin, full feed and treatment history, withdrawal compliance and water-quality record | Fully possible; report design and compliance mapping is usually where scope and cost overrun | Basic lot printout that rarely covers treatment withdrawal or water quality to certification standard | `stock.lot` gives a lot number and stock moves, with no production or treatment narrative |
| Feed inventory accuracy | Feed events post against real Odoo products and generate `stock.move`, keeping feed stock and cost correct | Depends entirely on whether the developer wires the inventory layer instead of storing loose numbers | Frequently records feed as a free-text quantity, leaving warehouse stock to drift out of alignment | Feed can be issued manually, but nothing links consumption to a pond, a cycle or a growth outcome |
| Version and edition support | Developed and tested against your exact Odoo 17.0, 18.0 or 19.0 database; full function on Community | Whatever your developer targets; each Odoo upgrade becomes a fresh project | Listed versions vary and the newest release often lags Odoo by months | Always current with Odoo, but the functionality simply is not there |
| Time and cost to a working system | Typically 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope, at a fixed quoted price agreed before the build starts | Months of discovery, build and rework, with cost moving as domain understanding improves | Installed the same day, then weeks of workarounds when it does not match your protocol | Immediate, but the operational gap is filled by spreadsheets from day one |
| Code ownership and lock-in | Full source plus git repository handover; no obfuscation, no runtime licence server | You own it outright, provided handover, documentation and repository are contractually secured | Often encrypted or licence-key gated, and unmaintainable if the publisher stops updating | Odoo core, maintained upstream, but nothing aquaculture-specific to own |
| Support after go-live | Defined post-go-live support window, then an optional maintenance agreement with agreed response times | Depends on retaining the original developer and their availability months later | Ticket queue with no SLA and no obligation to accommodate your farm's specifics | Odoo support covers core only; anything aquaculture-specific is out of scope |
This is a build-to-order module, not an existing download from the Odoo App Store. After you request a quotation we run a scoping call, write a specification covering your species, systems, feeding and sampling protocols, grading bands and integrations, and quote against it. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope, longer only where substantial third-party integration or hatchery and nursery staging is in scope. The timeline is always confirmed in writing with the quotation before anything is built.
We build against Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0 — you tell us your exact version and we develop and test on that one. The full module runs on Odoo Community; nothing core to pond management, feeding, sampling, harvest or traceability requires Enterprise. If you are already on Enterprise we can additionally connect cycle costing to analytic accounting and surface dashboards through the Enterprise reporting widgets, but that is an option, not a prerequisite.
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration questions, with response times agreed in the quotation. Beyond that window we offer an ongoing support and maintenance agreement, and version migration (for example 18.0 to 19.0) is quoted separately when you upgrade Odoo. Because you receive the full source and the git repository, you are never dependent on us to keep running — your own team or another partner can maintain the code.
Yes. Species, strains, feeding tables, grading bands and water-quality threshold bands are configuration records, not hard-coded values, and the farm site model carries a system type so ponds, cages, raceways, tanks and RAS units coexist. Record rules scope data per site and per company, so a group running tilapia in ponds at one site and shrimp at another can share one database while each team sees only its own cycles.
All models are standard Odoo models, so they are fully reachable over the XML-RPC and JSON-RPC APIs with normal Odoo authentication and access rights. Dissolved-oxygen and temperature probes, feed barge or automatic feeder software, and pond-side mobile capture apps can post feed, mortality and water-quality events directly against the cycle. Bring your specific device or platform to the scoping call and we will confirm the integration approach and include it in the quotation.
Historical data migration is scoped as part of the project when you want it. We map your existing pond, stocking, feed and harvest records to the module's models and load them so FCR and cost-per-kilo trends have history from day one rather than starting empty. We are explicit about what can and cannot be reliably reconstructed from the source data before we commit to it.
You receive the complete source code and a git repository handover with full commit history. There is no obfuscation and no runtime licence server that can switch your farm off. You can read it, audit it, extend it, and take it to another developer at any time.
