Introducing Our New Mobile App for Odoo Community & Enterprise
In today’s fast-paced business environment, having access to your business tools on the go is essential. Odoo is a powerful ERP system used by companies worldwide, but accessing it conveniently on mobile has always been a challenge.
To address this, we developed a mobile application for Odoo using Flutter, designed to support both Odoo Enterprise and Community editions. This app allows users to log in, manage workflows, and access essential business modules anytime, anywhere. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how we built this app, the steps we followed, and the lessons we learned along the way.
App Launch Screen
The first screen users see is the app launch screen, featuring the company logo. This provides a professional and welcoming first impression.
Why it matters: A clean and branded launch screen sets the tone for a professional user experience from the very first interaction.
Login Screen
Users can securely log in by entering the server URL, database, username, and password. The login flow is designed to handle both Enterprise and Community editions of Odoo.
Key features:
URL normalization for different server setups
Secure session storage using Flutter Secure Storage
Robust error handling for connection issues
Odoo App Dashboard (Enterprise)
After login, users are redirected to the Enterprise app dashboard, which uses a Universal WebView that loads the Odoo interface directly within the app.
Highlights:
Smooth navigation between modules
Loading screen appears only while content is actually loading
Dynamic session management ensures security and performance
Sales Module (Enterprise)
Enterprise users gain full access to important modules like Sales.
What we focused on:
Maintaining a responsive layout for mobile devices
Fast module loading
Clean, professional UI aligned with the app’s theme
Odoo Community App Dashboard
The app also supports Odoo Community Edition, ensuring consistency in the mobile experience for all users.
Why it’s useful: Community users don’t miss out on mobile access—they can log in and navigate the app just like Enterprise users.
Sales Module (Community)
Community edition users can access key modules like Sales, enabling them to manage orders and track workflows efficiently.
Key considerations:
Consistent theme across Enterprise and Community editions
Optimized WebView performance
Professional and easy-to-read interface
Final Results
Our Flutter-based Odoo mobile app delivers:
Secure login and session management
Seamless navigation for both Enterprise and Community users
Professional, clean design for better readability
Access to essential modules like Sales, directly from mobile
Conclusion
This project allowed us to reimagine Odoo for mobile, making it accessible, fast, and professional for users on the go. The app provides a consistent experience for both Enterprise and Community users, with room for future enhancements such as push notifications, offline access, and custom modules.
Our goal is to empower businesses with flexible mobile access to Odoo, bridging the gap between desktop ERP systems and mobile productivity.
