Hello everyone.. I’m planning to build an ERP-based system for managing auto spare parts sales, and I’d like some feedback on the architecture and tools.
My idea is to use an ERP like Odoo (Community edition) to handle sales, stock, and accounting. On top of that, I want to develop a custom catalog module that combines:
My internal product catalog
TecDoc catalog data (via API or a self-hosted database)
The goal is to have a unified interface inside the ERP where I can search and manage parts using both internal and TecDoc data.
In parallel, I also want to build a B2B portal where clients (auto parts shops) can browse the catalog and place orders online.
So my main questions are:
Is Odoo Community a good and stable choice for this kind of setup?
Does this architecture make sense (ERP + custom catalog module + TecDoc integration + B2B portal)?
Would you recommend sticking with Odoo for everything, or separating the frontend (e.g., React) from the ERP backend?
Any feedback or real-world experience with similar projects would be really helpful.
