Custom development & AI
AI has changed what custom software costs, and with it what is worth building on top of Odoo. Here we cover when a tailored module pays off and when standard Odoo is the smarter choice, what customisation actually costs, and how product configurators and other custom work look in practice. Honest and grounded, written for the owner deciding where to spend.
AI in manufacturing: from hours of work to minutes
At Agrowteam, AI turns a complex bill of materials from Inventor into an Odoo BOM - work that used to take hours, now done in minutes. How it works, where else it pays off on the shop floor, and when to wait.
Custom software just got affordable for mid-sized companies
For years, the software a mid-sized company wanted and the software it could afford were two different lists. AI is bringing them together, and that changes what you can do with Odoo.
AI for cultural organisations: less reporting, more doing
A grant application of forty pages. Half of it sits in last year's applications. At NIMD, AI puts that ready. How this and other patterns work for cultural organisations and non-profits, with togrant.com and concrete examples from our work.
AI in hospitality: time back for your guests
An inbox with reservations, supplier receipts, guest questions and reviews - all mixed up. AI sorts it for you. A demand forecast on your own sales. Patterns that small hospitality businesses can now use, thanks to cheaper custom work.
AI in retail: only useful when your stock adds up
Three tills, a webshop, and on Saturday night three different stock figures. That is not an AI problem - that is an 'one-stock-figure' problem. Once you have that, AI can do a lot. Three patterns that work, and a few that do not yet.
Custom prices and configurable products in Odoo: how far can you go?
Made-to-order products with dozens of options and prices in three spreadsheets? Odoo can turn that into a configurator that quotes itself in minutes. This guide covers what's standard, what's custom, and when each fits.
AI in professional services: one sentence to your planning
'Dominique is leaving, move all his ecommerce tasks to Mitchel.' That is not an email to a colleague - it is a command to Hypergantt. AI in services is concrete, not abstract. With Hypergantt, Jobse groep and NIMD as examples.
What does Odoo customisation cost in 2026?
A focused custom Odoo module typically runs €4,000 to €15,000 and goes live in one to three weeks. This guide breaks down the price ranges, what drives them, and where AI has changed the maths.
AI in wholesale: where it really earns its keep
A PDF order that books itself in Odoo. A price list built in four hours instead of four days. A B2B portal that proposes the right reorder. Four patterns we already have running for wholesalers.
AI for your webshop: four things that already work
A product configurator on your Odoo webshop for less than a tenth of a comparable off-the-shelf platform. Product copy in three languages that does not get stuck. Four things AI does today, with examples from our own practice.
