Odoo – PostNL Shipping Integration

This module connects your Odoo system with the PostNL shipping carrier, enabling a seamless shipping experience directly from Odoo. With real-time shipping rates, automated label generation, tracking, and shipping status updates, businesses can streamline logistics without leaving the Odoo interface.

Core Features

• Connect Odoo with PostNL via API to manage shipping carriers.
• Fetch real-time shipping rates based on customer address and warehouse location.
• Generate shipping labels directly from Odoo delivery orders.
• Retrieve and store PostNL tracking numbers for all shipments.
• Track and trace shipment status without leaving Odoo.
• Support for multiple packages per shipment.
• Automatic update of delivery order with PostNL information.

This integration removes the need to manually use the PostNL dashboard, automating key parts of your logistics flow. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

How It Works

• Select PostNL as the delivery method on a Sales Order or Website Order.
• Get live rates and apply shipping costs to the order.

All PostNL data is updated in Odoo so you can manage the entire shipping lifecycle from order to delivery without switching platforms. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
