At Odonity, we believe that smart modules solve real problems — not just add features. Let’s walk you through our complete process of building an Odoo module from scratch, the Odonity way.

🔧 Our 8-Step Odoo Module Development Process

1. Requirement Discovery

We engage with clients to understand what problem we’re solving. This involves user stories, use-case mapping, and business flow analysis.

2. Technical Blueprint

We prepare data models, module architecture, and views design in XML — all documented for transparency and easy collaboration.

3. Coding & Model Design

We create models (`models.py`), controllers, business logic, and relational structures — always following Odoo standards.

4. View Development

Views are developed in XML — clean, user-friendly, and dynamic. This includes kanban, tree, form, and dashboard views.

5. Website / Portal / API Integration

Whether it's a custom website page or REST API integration, we make sure your module is extensible and ready for the modern ecosystem.

6. Testing & Quality Checks

We write test cases, perform unit testing, and validate with real business data — ensuring stability and scalability.

7. Deployment

We use Git, staging environments, and Odoo’s app structure for clean deployment with rollback mechanisms.

8. Documentation & Support

Every module includes user manuals, code-level documentation, and support workflows to help clients succeed after delivery.
