Odoo Connector — Effitrace:
automate your 3PL logistics
Your Odoo orders are sent automatically to your logistics provider Effitrace. Shipping confirmations, tracking numbers and stock synchronisation are fed back into Odoo in good time. Zero re-entry, zero discrepancies.
What is Effitrace?
Effitrace is a Warehouse Management System (WMS) used by 3PL (third-party logistics) providers. It drives warehouse operations: receipts, order picking, shipments, location management and stock control.
When you outsource your logistics to a 3PL that uses Effitrace, you face a recurring challenge: your sales and administrative teams work in Odoo, while your provider's operators run their warehouse from Effitrace. Without an Odoo WMS connector, information is exchanged manually — file import/export, redundant data entry, error risks and delays.
The TSC Odoo ↔ Effitrace connector removes this friction: the two systems exchange data automatically, and your teams stay in Odoo without ever having to open the Effitrace interface. This is the key to successful e-commerce logistics outsourcing with Odoo.
Typical profile
E-commerce or multichannel company that outsources its storage and shipping to a logistics provider using Effitrace as its WMS. Volumes: from a few hundred to several thousand orders per month.
Sectors
E-commerce brands in fashion, cosmetics, home & décor and food trust this connector to run their 3PL logistics from Odoo.
How does the Odoo ↔ Effitrace connection work?
The connector is based on an exchange of structured files — no real-time API. Odoo is the central management system; Effitrace is the operational WMS. The two systems synchronise at configurable intervals, each remaining in control of its own scope. It is the same logic as for any Odoo logistics connector: the Odoo Effitrace integration respects the native flows of both tools.

Your 3PL in Effitrace.
The connector erases the boundary between the two systems. Your staff don't have to switch tools or re-enter anything: data flows automatically thanks to the optimisation of logistics flows enabled by the Odoo Effitrace integration.
Odoo stock synchronisation
Physical stock levels at your 3PL are synchronised into Odoo at configurable intervals. Your sales teams work with reliable data, without calling the provider to check availability.
Automatic carrier tracking
The tracking numbers generated by Effitrace are written into Odoo as soon as the shipment goes out. Your customers receive their tracking without any manual action from your customer service team.
Native multi-channel
B2C, B2B, marketplace: each channel can have its own picking rules, carriers and document formats (detailed packing list for B2B pallets). Configurable without additional development.
End-to-end returns management
The return is triggered in Odoo, sent to Effitrace, and the physical receipt in the warehouse updates Odoo stock. The return cycle is traced end to end, with no break in data.
Configurable and maintainable
The connector is developed and maintained by TSC. Carrier rules, exchange frequencies, reference mappings: everything is configurable without touching Odoo's code or Effitrace's.
Client case · E-commerce
Kidywolf: 3PL logistics run from Odoo
Kidywolf, an e-commerce brand specialising in toys and accessories for children, outsources its entire logistics to a 3PL provider using Effitrace. Before the connector was put in place, the teams had to export Odoo orders manually, import them into the 3PL's portal, then re-enter the shipping confirmations.
TSC deployed the Odoo ↔ Effitrace connector to automate all the flows: transfer of orders and delivery notes, feedback of shipments and carrier tracking, stock synchronisation. The result: the Kidywolf teams work exclusively in Odoo, without any manual intervention in Effitrace.

Frequentlyasked questions.
Everything you need to know about connecting Odoo to a logistics provider and setting up the Odoo ↔ Effitrace connector. A question specific to your context? Our team answers you directly.
Connecting Odoo to a 3PL logistics provider is done via a bespoke connector that automates the transfer of orders to the 3PL's WMS and feeds shipping confirmations, carrier tracking numbers and stock reports back into Odoo. TSC develops and maintains this type of Odoo WMS connector for companies that outsource their e-commerce logistics with Odoo.
Yes. Odoo has native flows (stock, sales) that enable integration with an external WMS such as Effitrace. The TSC connector installs as a standard Odoo module, without modifying the base objects. An Odoo instance already in production can host it without a full overhaul.
Stock synchronisation relies on an exchange of structured files at configurable intervals. Effitrace returns regular stock reports that update the physical stock levels in Odoo. Your sales teams thus have reliable data in good time, without having to query the logistics provider.
Yes. The tracking numbers generated by Effitrace (Colissimo and others) are written automatically into Odoo as soon as the shipment goes out. The connector also handles customer returns end to end: Odoo issues the return note, Effitrace confirms receipt in the warehouse, and stock is updated accordingly in Odoo.
In most cases, yes. Each 3PL WMS has its own exchange format (EDI files, CSV, proprietary API). A bespoke connector tailored to your logistics provider — like this Odoo Effitrace connector — is needed to truly automate the flows and avoid re-entry. TSC takes care of the flow analysis, development, configuration and acceptance testing of the exchanges.
Yes. The connector supports multi-channel: for example, a B2B channel with a detailed packing list for pallet shipments, and a standard B2C channel for parcels. The carrier rules (Colissimo, etc.) and document formats are configurable per channel.
The cost depends on scope: number of data flows (orders, inventory, returns, tracking), specific Effitrace format requirements of your 3PL and Odoo version. TSC conducts a free assessment to estimate effort. The timeline to production is typically 3 to 6 weeks, including flow analysis, development, integration testing and team training.
