For teams already running on Odoo.
30%
less retyping
No more retyping orders into Odoo
Your back office stops typing from the mailbox and starts approving orders instead of entering them.
Works on any Odoo hosting
Via the External API we connect with Odoo Online, Odoo.sh and your own on-premise install.
Your database stays in charge
Ordermind never invents product references. Anything that doesn't match goes to your team — not blindly into Odoo.

FAQ · Odoo
Questions about the Odoo connection.
Which Odoo versions does Ordermind work with?
We connect via the Odoo External API (XML-RPC), available from Odoo 14 (16/17/18 recommended). On Odoo.sh and on-premise this works without restrictions; on Odoo Online the External API requires the Custom plan.
Which connection does Ordermind use?
The officially documented Odoo External API over XML-RPC. An authorised connection, no screen robots.
Does Ordermind create a sale.order?
Yes, after approval Ordermind creates a sale.order with the right customer, products and prices. Nothing enters Odoo unseen.
How long does setup take?
A pilot is typically live within a few weeks. We start with one order flow.
What happens to uncertain orders?
They get a low confidence score and go to your team instead of straight into Odoo.
