The Despatch Company, the company behind Voila and Neuro, has partnered with Smart IT, the UK’s leading Odoo Gold Partner, to bring both platforms natively into Odoo. Built by Smart IT, the connector is now live and supporting real customers, giving Odoo users a prebuilt route into Voila’s shipping network and Neuro’s multi-channel order management without writing a line of code.
Odoo users have typically had to build and maintain a separate integration for every courier they want to offer. The Smart IT connector removes that step. Once connected, orders from a business’s sales channels flow into Odoo through Neuro, and shipping labels are generated in Odoo through Voila, with tracking visible from the Voila back end throughout.
The integration is built to suit two kinds of Odoo user. Those who want to stay within Odoo gain access to more courier options without any extra development. Those looking to expand beyond Odoo’s native capabilities can manage all of their shipping from within Voila and unlock its full toolset, including multi-carrier automation and real-time tracking, backed by Voila’s network of over 160 couriers and Neuro’s over 500 marketplace and sales channel connections, including Amazon and Shopify.
We’re proud to bring Voila and Neuro to the Odoo community alongside Smart IT. This isn’t a launch on paper, it’s live and already working for Odoo users today. Smart IT’s Odoo expertise and this connector mean businesses get that connectivity without having to build a thing themselves.
– Callum Houston, The Despatch Company
Odoo gives businesses a strong operational core, but courier and marketplace connectivity has always meant custom development. This connector closes that gap. Our customers can now plug into Voila and Neuro’s full network in one step, and get all the shipping flexibility they need without leaving Odoo.”
– Alison Bubb-Bailey, Head of Sales & Marketing, Smart IT
The connector already supports Odoo users across the UK, with early adoption concentrated among health, beauty, fashion and third-party logistics businesses. TDC and Smart IT will share customer references and case studies as the partnership expands into further industries over the coming months.
The two companies are planning a joint on-demand workshop to walk through the connected workflow end to end, from order through to label and tracking, and will be at Odoo’s London event on the 17th of November to meet users and partners in person.
