EDI API for Odoo ERP 2025: The Odoo Procuros connector

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is often seen as expensive, outdated, or hard to maintain.

Many ERP systems still rely on custom formats and 1:1 connections between trade partners, making every new supplier integration a separate project.

For Odoo users, there is now a different solution:
An API-based connector to the Procuros Integration Hub, available for free on the Odoo Marketplace.

With an all-inclusive monthly subscription, it offers the lowest total cost of ownership compared to traditional EDI solutions.

Developed by the Odoo Gold Partner much. Consulting, this module provides EDI capabilities inside Odoo using a single, reusable connection.

Procuros simplifies EDI for Odoo via one API connector

The connector links Odoo to Procuros, an integration platform built for B2B transactions.

Through a single connection, users can exchange trade documents with a growing network of pre-integrated trade partners, including retail chains, manufacturers, and distributors.

Instead of developing separate interfaces for each partner, all communication is routed through the Procuros API. The result is a centralised, maintainable EDI setup embedded in the standard Odoo backend.

Traditional EDI setups are slow and outdated

Many Odoo-based EDI integrations rely on outdated file formats and direct mappings per partner.

This approach gets more difficult to manage as the number of partners grows.

The Procuros connector avoids these issues by:

  • Reducing setup time from months to a few days per partner.
  • Replacing individual interfaces with one API connection.
  • Supporting modern and legacy protocols without complexity.
  • Providing full monitoring inside Odoo.

This architecture allows users to add new partners with minimal effort and keep EDI operational during ERP migrations or upgrades.

Procuros offers a modern cost model for EDI

Traditional EDI setups often come with large initial fees, ongoing licence costs, and long implementation cycles. That model limits access and slows down scalability.

The Procuros connector uses a different approach. With Procuros, you only pay an all-inclusive monthly subscription. The benefits are:

  • No upfront licence fees
  • No vendor lock-in
  • Low effort onboarding for each new partner

This cuts risk and makes EDI viable even for small or mid-sized trade networks.

Use cases for the Odoo-Procuros connector

The connector supports a range of supply chain and trading setups. Common examples include:

  • Suppliers exchanging purchase orders and invoices with large retailers.
  • Dropshippers receiving orders and sending fulfillment notifications via EDI.
  • Manufacturers automating procurement with upstream suppliers.
  • Growing B2B businesses needing scalable partner onboarding without custom integrations.

Core features of the Procuros connector for Odoo

One connection for all trade partners

Procuros connects to both major retailers and niche B2B suppliers. Odoo users interact with one interface, while Procuros manages the underlying partner network.

Automatic transaction handling

Orders, invoices, delivery confirmations, and other documents are synced automatically. The connector supports scheduled actions or manual triggers inside Odoo.

Integrated document monitoring

Each EDI exchange is logged with a status, timestamp, partner reference, and transaction ID. Logs are accessible in the Procuros Integration Hub inside Odoo.

Format and protocol flexibility

There is no need to adapt to multiple EDI standards. Procuros handles translation between formats like EDI, XML or email and delivers structured data to Odoo in a consistent model.

Scalable infrastructure

New partners can be added through configuration, not code. Partner onboarding typically takes only a few days, regardless of format or protocol.
