From your CPQ configurator to the automation of your workflows in Odoo
Accelerate configurable product sales, secure your quotes, and prepare a clean ERP integration
Selling technical or custom products with Odoo can quickly become complex: technical rules, variants, margin management, dimensional constraints, complex pricing… and above all quotes that still rely on Excel files, manual validations, and endless back-and-forth between sales, engineering, and production.
SkalUP designs product configurators and CPQ (Configure–Price–Quote) solutions that transform your industrial expertise into a guided sales journey: reliable configuration, rule-based pricing, and automatically generated quotes.
And if your ecosystem is built around Odoo, we work with you to define an integration scenario (API / key object synchronization) so that data generated by the CPQ seamlessly feeds your quote → order → production workflow.

What is missing in Odoo for selling complex configurable products?
Odoo is one of the most widely adopted ERPs in industrial businesses. Sales, production, logistics, and finance are centralized in a robust ecosystem.
But when it comes to selling technical, configurable, or custom-built products, limitations appear.
Odoo does not include an advanced configuration engine capable of handling complex technical rules, product dependencies, 2D/3D visualization, dynamic pricing, or detailed industrial quote generation.
In practice, companies often face:
- Manually or semi-manually built quotes (Excel-based)
- Configuration errors (incompatibilities, forgotten options, constraint violations)
- Inconsistent pricing (discounts, material costs, margins, customer conditions)
- Extended sales cycles (engineering validation, revisions, multiple versions)
- Friction between sales, engineering, and production teams
SkalUP resolves these challenges with an industrial CPQ connected to Odoo.
The CPQ complements - not replaces - your ERP. It secures complex product sales upstream, at the moment the quote is built.
Integration with Odoo
The goal is not to stack tools, but to strengthen your Odoo ecosystem.
The SkalUP CPQ communicates with Odoo via standardized API/connectors.
Our approach:
define synchronized objects
(customers, opportunities, quotes, products, pricing, lines…)
establish the system of record
(CPQ vs Odoo)
implement API/connectors
create test environments and error management rules
Objective: eliminate duplicate entry, keep Odoo as the central system, and make CPQ data fully operational downstream.
What is an Odoo CPQ, and what does it change in practice?
An Odoo CPQ configurator is a solution that extends the ERP by automating product configuration, pricing calculation, and quote generation while remaining synchronized with Odoo.
A CPQ solution (Configure – Price – Quote) enables you to:
Configure complex products according to business rules
Calculate reliable pricing based on grids, discounts, costs, and margins
Automatically generate quotes (and sometimes technical documents)
In an industrial environment, this means managing thousands of variants, enforcing compatibility rules, automating dimensional calculations, and producing actionable offers without re-entry.
The CPQ becomes the intelligent bridge between your Odoo ERP and your sales workflow.
CPQ becomes the "engine" of complex sales.
Odoo remains the ERP "backbone".
What an online CPQ brings to Odoo
Automated product configuration

ERP synchronization
Comparison: Odoo ERP alone VS Odoo ERP + CPQ
Odoo alone | Odoo + CPQ
|
|---|---|
Simple variants | Automated rule engine |
Manual configuration | Instant quoting |
External validation | Validated configurations |
Fragmented industrial data | Production-ready data |
The SkalUP CPQ: designed for industrial customization
We build industrial CPQ configurators for products where choices go far beyond “color + option.” Common use cases include:
The common denominator: rules, constraints, documentation, and the need for reliability before moving to order.
SkalUP supports you from scoping to deployment and sales training — because a CPQ only delivers value when teams fully understand it.

Features of CPQ SkalUP synchronized with Odoo
01
Guided configuration of customizable products
The configurator converts your business logic into automated rules:
Result: sales teams move faster with coherent configurations. You sell a valid product from the very first quote.
02
Controlled pricing: dynamic and reproductible
The SkalUP CPQ manages industrial pricing complexity:
Result: a price calculated consistently, traceable, and easier to govern.
03
Automatically generated quote: a ready-to-send sales document
The CQP calculates and supports each product configuration with:
Result: faster and more professional quote production.
Datas are synchronized in real time with Odoo and can be directly used for your manufacturing and logistics.
Expected impact of a well-designed CPQ
Typical gains include:
- reduced quoting time
- fewer configuration errors
- pricing consistency
- smoother sales cycles
- improved cross-team collaboration
ROI depends mainly on rule complexity, quote volume, and error cost.
Why choose SkalUP for your Odoo CPQ?
SkalUP speaks industrial, not just software
Proven expertise in complex industrial products
Reliable Odoo integration
Scalable configurator engine
Brand-aligned customization
Business-focused support
Industrial-first design
Your synchronized SkalUP CPQ becomes a competitive advantage
Is this right for you?
A CPQ is especially relevant if:
Your pricing/margin
consistency is time-consuming
Your quote volume
is high and errors are costly
Your products
have many variants and constraints
Your quotes
require frequent engineering validation
You want a secure
quote → order → production workflow
Less critical if:
- Your catalog rules are simple
- Your quoting volume is low
Use case: kitchen configurator for Odoo
An industrial kitchen manufacturer offers configurable worktables. The CPQ allows sales teams to:
the BOM flows into Odoo, and customers receive a branded, personalized offer.
FAQ – CPQ & Product Configurator for Odoo
Does Odoo offer a native product configurator?
Odoo allows you to manage basic variants and options, but as soon as the configuration involves conditional rules, dimensional constraints, dynamic pricing, automatic validation, or the generation of technical documents, you quickly reach its limits. A specialized CPQ complements Odoo by adding a rules engine and a guided sales experience, while returning reliable data to the ERP.
What’s the difference between an Odoo configurator and an industrial CPQ?
A “simple” configurator helps you choosing options. An industrial CPQ does much more:
- It enforces compatibility rules and prevents invalid configurations,
- It automatically calculates prices, margins, discounts, material costs,
- It generates quotes and technical documents (BOMs/parts lists, drawings, DXF files, data sheets),
- It feeds Odoo with actionable data for production and logistics.
In summary: the configurator chooses, the CPQ ensures reliability and industrializes.
Can an external CPQ be connected to Odoo?
Yes. Odoo exposes APIs and integration mechanisms that allow synchronization of:
- clients / opportunities / quotes / orders,
- products, prices and trade rules,
- Nomenclature and information useful for production.
The challenge is to define a robust integration (mapping, permissions, logs, error handling, bidirectional synchronization) to avoid any re-entry of data.
Is SkalUP compatible with Odoo Enterprise and Community?
In most cases, yes. Integration relies on standard APIs/connectors. The exact scope depends on the Odoo modules you use (Sales, CRM, MRP, etc.) and your version. A short scoping phase confirms compatibility and the integration scenario.
Summary
SkalUP is an industrial CPQ and product configurator designed to extend Odoo,
automate custom product sales, and secure the quote-to-production cycle.
