If you manage large inventory volumes, want to reduce manual counting errors, have a complex warehouse setup, or need precise tracking for high-value items, RFID technology could be a perfect fit. RFID excels in industries like retail, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and automotive. Not sure? We’re here to help!
Our Ventor PRO RFID solution is fully compatible with Odoo 18, readying you for the next generation of inventory management.
Watch the Full Demo:
Odoo RFID demo
With the Ventor PRO Android mobile app, which supports RFID technology, you can receive large shipments and register them in Odoo within seconds, as well as perform inventory adjustments in just minutes.
Supported operations
Odoo receiving using RFID:
Items are pre-tagged with RFID by the supplier
Using the Ventor PRO app, navigate to the RFID menu and select the Transfer option
Scan the shipment document (Odoo purchase or receiving order)
With a single RFID scan, all items in the shipment are instantly recognized and displayed
Click the Validate button and the entire shipment is registered in Odoo
The beauty of this solution is its scalability. Whether handling 6 items or 600, a single scan does it all. It’s fast, easy, and incredibly efficient!
Odoo Inventory Adjustments using RFID:
Go to the RFID menu in the Ventor PRO app and select Inventory adjustments
Scan the location you want to adjust
The app displays all items initially recorded at that location
Perform a single RFID scan of the area
Ventor instantly recognizes all items and highlights any discrepancies
Review and adjust as needed, then click “Apply all” to validate the inventory adjustment
This process removes the need for manual counting and saves significant time. For example, you can perform daily inventory adjustments across all warehouse facilities rather than just once a year, leading to a much more accurate stock count.
Please note that your goods will need RFID tags. While these tags are relatively affordable (starting from around 10 cents each), the cost can add up significantly for large volumes. It’s essential to carefully analyze the business case to ensure a worthwhile investment before implementing RFID.
Recheck packed shipments using an RFID scanner:
We’re working on a new feature for RFID scanners: Odoo Order Recheck. This will enable you to quickly verify that all items in a packed order match the delivery slip before leaving the warehouse, reducing shipment errors and minimizing return costs.
Every business has unique needs, and our team of experts is ready to assess your specific case to determine if (and how) RFID technology can enhance your operations. We’ll guide you through the potential ROI and provide customized support for Odoo implementation. Complete this survey to get started!

Thomas Dauksys, the owner of Shipux LLC in the Greater Chicago Area, Illinois, runs an FBA prep service that caters to Amazon sellers and e-commerce businesses. His company, Shipux LLC, is an experienced FBA prep center that handles everything from receiving to inspecting, labeling, and packaging inventory. This allows sellers to focus on growing their business instead of getting bogged down in tedious logistics.
Shipux’s warehouse operations had become too complex to manage manually, necessitating the integration of barcode processes for receiving, inventory management, picking, and shipment. The standard Odoo barcode app did not smoothly handle 3PL-related operations, which involved managing goods from multiple product owners.
Thomas Dauksys, the owner of Shipux LLC, and VentorTech CEO Oleg Kuryan
In 2020, Thomas began improving his business with VentorTech. Shipux LLC utilizes the Odoo system and have integrated the Ventor PRO app (Odoo barcode scanning software) with their scanners.
Thomas reports that Ventor has greatly improved their efficiency by reducing overall time spent on picking, packing, and barcode scanning.
Talking about hardware, Thomas uses Zebra scanners such as MC9300 and TC7X that communicate with Odoo using Ventor, and Zebra printers such as ZT400 to print shipping labels.
BTW, you can instantly print Odoo shipping labels via the Odoo Direct Print PRO app.
Thomas highly recommends the Ventor app to anyone using Odoo for warehouse management. According to him, the software has significantly enhanced their warehouse operations.
Looking ahead, Thomas plans to expand Shipux LLC with the help of Odoo and the VentorTech team. Currently, Shipux LLC operates out of a 5,000-square-foot warehouse but aims to move to larger facilities, ultimately targeting a 100,000-square-foot space. He believes that with the right technology from VentorTech, they will achieve this growth quickly. For businesses seeking to enhance their e-commerce solutions, Thomas suggests considering Odoo and VentorTech for their easy integration and efficiency improvements.

We already experienced implementing GS1 barcodes in Ventor (Odoo Inventory mobile app) for some of our customers and were going to release this feature in our generic app. And the Odoo v15 release forced us to do it now 🙂
Now, using Ventor, you can read GS1 barcodes in Odoo v11 and higher (Community and Enterprise). This function works in the Warehouse operations, Instant inventory, Quick info and Internal transfers menus (by Nov. 2021). Support of the other menus will be added in next releases.
You can instantly read the following information coded in a single GS1 barcode (GS1 identifiers in parentheses):
Product barcode (01) (02 + 37) – Global Trade Item Number
Quantity (37)
Variable count (30)
Weight (310)
Length (311)
Lot number (10)
Serial number (21)
Best before date (15)
Sell by date (16)
Expiration date (17)
Package / Pallet (00) – Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
Product owner (401)
For example, if you scan this GS1 128 barcode,
The app will recognize the item, qty (packaging), expiration date, lot number.
And will send the information to related fields in your Odoo.
So now you can receive, pick, and ship your products much faster when they contain GS1 barcodes.
The same for internal moves; you don’t need to separately scan the item, Lot / SN, package, QTY, and more. Just scan a GS1 barcode and destination location. Any inventory adjustments: just scan, scan, scan, and that’s it.
The app also works with SSCC barcodes. You can put items on a pallet by scanning SSCC, and then move whole pallets from one warehouse location to another.
Activate a setting in the app to scan GS1 barcodes. GS1 activation in Odoo (v15e and higher) is not required; Ventor allows working with GS1 barcodes independently from Odoo, and works with v11 and higher.
Release notes for version 2.3.1
Support of GS1 barcodes in the Warehouse operations, the Quick info, the Instant inventory and the Internal transfers menus (beta)
Improved work with Lot in the Internal transfers menu
Improved Putaway menu
Added Expiration Date for Lots in the Quick info menu
Now user can see the content of the package on the Done tab in the Warehouse operations menu
General bugfix and improvement
As it’s a new feature in the app, we will need your feedback. If you find a bug or have a suggestion, please contact us.
If you haven’t tried Ventor yet, get it for free for the first two weeks and test it with your Odoo in a real warehouse!
Odoo has just released a new 15th version of their EPR system. Since the latest update, our Ventor app supports Odoo 15 (both Community and Enterprise versions).
