In the early days of 2025, Odoo announced a special gift for businesses in Asia: Shopee Connector.
In the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia, Shopee holds a huge market share of 48%. A big brand with a large number of users makes it impossible for Malaysian businesses to ignore. However, there are still many difficulties for both sellers and buyers.
Managing multiple Shopee stores is still mainly done manually, leading to inevitable errors throughout the working process. Differences in inventory levels when the number of product codes increases according to customer demand, delays in processing, confirming, responding, and delivering to customers as well as completing orders make many business owners feel a headache. No business is easy, especially in a world that seems to be all rosy in imagination but so many challenges in reality like e-commerce.
Odoo's Shopee API-driven connector is the latest solution that Odoo has introduced. It has linked Shopee's vast e-commerce ecosystem with Odoo's ERP. Orders are synchronized instantly, inventory is updated in real-time, and managing multi-channel sales has never been easier. Manual errors are completely eliminated, and most e-commerce transactions on Shopee are thoroughly and comprehensively controlled. Those who update and bring new innovations to their business are almost certain to win, and this connector from Odoo and Shopee has brought victory a little closer to you.
Specifically, this connector delivers surprising benefits:
- Instant order synchronization: Every Shopee order appears in Odoo as soon as a customer makes a purchase. No manual data entry. No missing transactions. Sales teams manage all Shopee orders on a single interface, improving accuracy and processing speed.
- Real-time inventory updates: Inventory levels are automatically adjusted with Shopee orders. No need to log in to multiple Shopee accounts. Businesses monitor all sales data, inventory levels, and order tracking in Odoo, reducing administrative effort.
- Seamless fulfillment integration: Order fulfillment happens faster. Shipping labels and tracking numbers are generated directly in Odoo. With one-click access to Shopee logistics, businesses streamline order dispatching and reduce processing time.
- Comprehensive sales insights: Odoo's in-depth analytics tools provide detailed and in-depth information about Shopee's sales performance. Retailers identify top sellers, track trends, and adjust pricing strategies to maximize profits. Data-driven decisions replace guesswork.
- Error-free accounting and reporting: Every transaction on Shopee is now linked to Odoo's accounting module. Invoices, payments, and tax calculations are automatically recorded. Financial reporting is precise, reducing compliance risks and accounting errors.
Experts at A1 Consulting confirm this is exactly a turning point in the omnichannel market. The combination of a long-standing ERP tool with the ability to manage all resources all-in-one in an optimal and customized way, connecting with a powerful ecommerce platform across Asia, seems to be the key to preventing technical errors and pushing stores and businesses to a new growth momentum.
