About this Product
Odoo Community Edition ships with a compact drop-down app switcher that lists installed apps in a small overlay. For teams running many modules across departments, that default launcher becomes a daily bottleneck: it is cramped, hard to scan, offers no visual hierarchy, and gives users no control over grouping, ordering, or branding. The full-page, tiled "home menu" experience that makes navigation feel effortless is one of the presentation refinements typically associated with Enterprise — so on Community you are left with a launcher that technically works but slows every user down dozens of times a day. There is no configuration switch that turns the stock launcher into a proper full-screen grid; it requires real front-end and back-end work against the web client.
ECOSIRE builds a made-to-order Premium Home Menu module that renders the top-level ir.ui.menu records as a full-page, responsive grid of large app tiles. Technically, we ship a standard Community-compatible addon with its own __manifest__.py, a client-side OWL component (or a targeted patch of the web client's app-menu widget, chosen per your Odoo version) that reads the menu tree over the standard ORM/RPC, and QWeb/XML templates plus SCSS assets registered through the module's asset bundles. Tiles are driven by data you control: we extend ir.ui.menu with fields for a custom icon, accent color, and display order (sequence), so administrators reorder and re-theme the launcher from the UI rather than in code. Because the component reads the same menu records the user is already authorized to see, existing ir.model.access.csv rules and record rules continue to govern visibility — no app appears on a tile that the user could not otherwise open.
Beyond the base grid, we tailor the behavior to how your teams actually navigate: optional search-as-you-type filtering across menu labels, keyboard navigation, department-based sections, favorites pinning, and a company logo / color scheme that matches your brand. The layout is responsive down to tablet widths and respects the active Odoo theme and right-to-left locales. Everything is delivered as a self-contained addon so it upgrades cleanly and never patches core files on disk — it hooks the web client through supported extension points, which keeps your instance safe to update.
Delivery is build-to-order. After a short scoping call we confirm your Odoo version (17.0, 18.0 or 19.0), your Community setup, the exact grouping/branding rules, and any edge cases (multi-company, custom themes, portal users). We then build against a copy of your configuration, demonstrate it on a staging instance for UAT, and only deploy to production once you sign off — with a rollback plan in hand. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company layouts, deep theme/RTL customization, and per-department access logic increase the quoted scope.

Who this is for
Operations lead on Odoo Community

In-house Odoo administrator
Wants a full-page home menu they can re-order, re-color, and group from the UI via `sequence` and custom fields — without maintaining a fragile core patch that breaks on upgrade.
IT / systems manager standardizing the UX
Needs a branded, consistent app-launcher experience across users and companies that still honors existing access rights and record rules, delivered as a clean addon.
Odoo partner or reseller
Reselling a polished Community deployment and wants an Enterprise-grade navigation feel packaged as maintainable source code with documentation and a support window.
How Premium Home Menu - Community Edition Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery model | Build-to-order, installed and supported by ECOSIRE | You scope, build, and maintain it yourself | Instant download, generic out of the box | Nothing to deliver — stock drop-down launcher |
| Full-page grid layout | Custom responsive grid tailored to your menus | Possible but you engineer it from scratch | Fixed grid, limited layout options | None — compact drop-down overlay only |
| Branding & theming | Your logo, colors, RTL and theme-aware via SCSS | Whatever you build time for | Basic or preset themes only | No launcher branding controls |
| Security model | Honors access rights and record rules by design | Correct only if you implement it carefully | Usually respects access but varies by author | Fully native — no added surface |
| Upgrade safety | Self-contained addon, version-matched, no core patch | Depends on your discipline and testing | May lag new Odoo releases | Always in sync — it is core |
| Odoo version fit | Built for your exact 17.0 / 18.0 / 19.0 Community | You handle each version's web-client changes | Single build, may not match your version | N/A |
| Support & handover | Docs, training, support window, git handover | You are the support team | Vendor forum or ticket, no training | Community/Enterprise support channels |
| Total cost of ownership | Fixed quote from $999 plus optional support | High engineering + ongoing maintenance time | Low sticker price, self-service fixes | Free but no full-page grid capability |
Frequently Asked Questions about Premium Home Menu - Community Edition
Is this an existing app I can download and install right now?
No. This is a build-to-order module. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports it for your specific Odoo Community instance after you request a quotation — there is no instant download. This lets us match your exact version, branding, grouping rules, and access model.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. After the scoping call we build against a copy of your configuration, demonstrate it on staging for UAT, and deploy to production once you sign off. Complex requirements like multi-company layouts or deep theming can extend the timeline, which we confirm before starting.
How does pricing and scoping work?
Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope). The scoping call establishes your exact requirements, after which we issue a fixed quote — no surprise charges. Drivers such as multi-company support, deep theme/RTL customization, per-department access logic, and data-source integrations increase the quoted scope.
Which Odoo versions do you support, and does it work on Community?
Yes — it is built specifically for Community Edition, and we deliver for Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0 depending on what you run. The addon is version-matched to your release so it uses the correct web-client extension points for your OWL/asset architecture.
Will it interfere with existing security or break on upgrade?
No. The component reads the same menu records the user is authorized to see, so your `ir.model.access.csv` rules and record rules stay in force. It ships as a self-contained addon that hooks supported extension points rather than patching core files, so your instance stays upgrade-safe.
What support and updates are included?
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments, plus a git repository handover so your team owns the source. Ongoing maintenance or compatibility work for future Odoo point releases can be arranged as a separate support agreement.
Can you match our branding and grouping?
Yes. We apply your logo and brand colors via SCSS variables and can group tiles by department, pin favorites, and control ordering through the `sequence` field — all configurable from the UI once delivered, so admins adjust it without touching code.
