What can I expect from my Odoo Integration ?
Who we are
Circel is an Official Odoo Partner with certified specialists with years of focused delivery. We connect Odoo with tools like HubSpot, Shopify, WooCommerce, IONbiz cleanly, safely, and in a way that stays maintainable.
Why engineered beats improvised
Great integrations start with the contract. We study API documentation, evaluate webhooks vs. polling, confirm auth (OAuth2/API keys), map data, and design for idempotency, retries, and observability. The result is an upgrade-friendly connector that will not crumble at the first version change.
How we begin
We map your use cases (events, data flows, frequencies), review rate limits and payloads, and agree a realistic scope, risks, timeline, and budget, before we touch production. Where volumes or latency require it, we plan an external worker alongside Odoo to offload heavy jobs.
How we deliver
Webhook-first (polling fallback), Postman collections for contract tests, and well-structured Odoo modules. We use Python for business logic and SQL for reporting/automations on the data we bring in, moving changes through development → staging → production with versioned releases.
After go-live
We keep the lights green: logging and dashboards, alerting on failures/retries, and an SLA-backed helpdesk(portal/email). Small improvements ship on a steady schedule, and we handle API version updates when they land.
A partner that knows your world
From retail and manufacturing to distribution & logistics, we connect shop floor to CFO in one loop. Honest advice, clear documentation, and a team that’s easy to work with.
Our phased approach
1. Discovery & Scope
Inventory systems (e.g., IONbiz, Shopify, HubSpot, Visbook, Twinfield), environments, and credentials. Capture events and data maps (orders, products, customers, invoices), define success metrics, timeline, and budget.
2. API Study & Design
Read the API docs line-by-line: endpoints, webhooks, rate limits, pagination, auth, error codes. Decide webhook vs. polling, define idempotency keys, retry/backoff, and a canonical data model in Odoo.
3. Prototype & Contract Tests
Validate assumptions with Postman collections and sample payloads. Stand up a lightweight proof (sandbox → Odoo dev), confirm webhook callbacks, and decide if an external worker (serverless/VM) is needed for heavy or long-running jobs.
4. Build the Connector
Implement Odoo modules in Python (queues/scheduled jobs, controllers for webhooks), add SQL views for reporting, and write safe transforms. Keep modules tidy: clear manifests, dependencies, and README with “what it does”.
5. Test on Staging & Cutover
End-to-end tests in staging with partner sandboxes; backfill or delta-sync as required. Performance checks, data checks, and a go-live checklist with a timed window and rollback plan.
6. Operate & Improve
Operational monitoring (logs, dashboards, alerts), SLA-support via portal/e-mail, planned mini-releases for small improvements and timely correctiosn to new API-/Odoo-versions.
