SIMS: Custom Odoo Inventory System

An archived Odoo 19 repair-shop system for assets, jobs, logistics, labels, photos and access control.

At a glance

Outcome: Modeled a medical-equipment refurbisher’s assets, jobs, shipments, purchasing, labels and photos in Odoo 19, replacing a legacy inventory app, spreadsheets and manual steps.
Status: Archived. The modernization push was cut for scope and time.
Role: Started as a team effort; I built most of the system.
Stack & libraries: Python, Odoo 19, OWL, PostgreSQL, qrcode, Pillow, boto3, S3-compatible photo storage and Odoo.sh deployment.
Source: Private employer tooling; this page is the case study.
What outlasted it: The label-printing integration, which I extracted into Repair Shop Automation.
Limitations: Never reached production. Demonstrates data-model work at scale, not a shipped system.

Built sims for assets, models, locations, repair jobs, shipments, receipts, POs, printing and reporting. Added cron jobs, sequences, record security and portal rules.
Built testbed_tracker for warehouse test beds, a compatibility matrix and saleable-unit gap analysis. Built compat_data for admin-curated ingestion with staged review and approval-only writes.
Built incentivision for incentives, bounties, awards and a storefront with approvals. Routed access through the org_groups seniority-and-department permission hierarchy.
Added mail_ext, ui_components and a Xero bridge for messaging-menu history, shared OWL backend primitives and accounting exports.
