A Smart Approach to Product Information Management
Stop relying on messy internal notes or rigid many-to-many attributes. Product Smart Spec turns Odoo into a powerful Product Information Management system with dynamic data types and powerful filtering.
3 Steps to Managing Your Product Catalog
1. Define characteristics on your product categories
2. Set values on your products
3. Use the smart specs to filter your products
Smart Category Inheritance
Define characteristics at the Category level. They automatically "waterfall" down to all products in that category and its children, ensuring consistency across your range.
When you add a new category, it will inherit the characteristics of its parent automatically.
Powerful, Yet Simple Configuration
Control data with polymorphic data types. Set decimal accuracy per-characteristic for numeric values and prevent entry errors with selection lists or valid ranges.
Include unit suffixes (e.g. kg, mm, Hz) for a clean, professional product sheet.
Smart Design for Rapid Entry
Products inherit characteristics from their category, or you can add 'special' values directly to the product
The custom OWL widget adapts to the data type instantly, providing a native feel within the Product Template "Smart Specs" tab.
If the values are restricted to a list, the custom widget will provide a selection drop-down.
The custom widget will adopt the decimal accuracy of the characteristic for numeric values, and will also display the suffix.
Flexible Filtering Wizard
Drill down into your catalog using technical data.
The Filter Wizard will only offer characteristics that are worth filtering based on the current data set.
Once you have selected a characteristic to filter on, the Wizard will tell you how many values are in the current data set, and you choose how to filter (specific values, range, min, max)
The Filter Wizard injects dynamic filters into the Odoo search bar, meaning you can combine Smart Spec filters with Odoo's standard filters, and save your favourite searches.
Why use Smart Spec instead of Odoo Attributes?
Standard Odoo Attributes
Primarily designed for variants (Color/Size), and don't offer validation of different data types. Using them for technical data creates thousands of unnecessary product variants and slows down your database.
Product Smart Spec
Designed for managing structured data rather than simple pick lists. Characteristics use different data types, and context-aware filters can filter on ranges and limits as well as selected values.
Technical Excellence
- Modern Stack: Built using OWL for a fast, reactive UI.
- Optimized DB: Polymorphic design keeps your database lean.
- Non-Intrusive: Cleanly patches the search model without breaking standard views.
