You're probably here because someone told you that Odoo includes a WMS.
And like with any WMS, that brings up a few common questions:
- Will it work the way I need it to?
- How long does it take to implement WMS in Odoo?
- Can it be integrated with what I already have?
- And of course – how much does it cost?
These are all valid questions, and don’t worry, I’ll answer all of them in this article
What does WMS in Odoo look like in practice?
If you're not familiar with Odoo, in short: its biggest advantage is how seamlessly it integrates different business modules.
Instead of paying for separate systems for sales, inventory, or production, Odoo brings everything together in one place, with shared data.
That makes a huge difference in warehouse operations. Odoo's WMS isn't just a "barcode and bin management tool". It's a smart, connected system that communicates in real-time with:
- Sales orders (you instantly know what to pick),
- Purchases (you see what’s incoming and when),
- Production (if assembly is needed before shipping),
- Invoicing (invoices can be automatically generated after shipment),
- Couriers (shipping labels can print automatically once picking is complete).
Other useful features:
- Use your phone or scanner,
- Track lots and serial numbers,
- Works across many warehouses and locations,
- Set up smart routes, like: receiving → quality check → storage → picking.
From experience, we’ve seen that companies looking to escape data chaos often choose WMS in Odoo. And funny enough - even those who just wanted easier picking often end up finding improvements they didn’t know they needed!
Can Odoo WMS be customized for my warehouse?
That's one of the most common and important questions. Every warehouse works a bit differently.
The good news is that Odoo WMS doesn't lock you into a fixed setup. You can adjust it to fit how you work. Things like custom locations, rules for how goods move, batch tracking, multi-step picking, and even links to systems you already use, like couriers, online stores, or production tools.
You can also grow it at your own pace. Because it's built in modules, you can start simple and add more later as your business changes.
What can Odoo WMS work with, and what can I keep as it is?
As mentioned earlier, Odoo typically integrates well with existing systems, such as:
- Courier services (e.g. DHL, UPS, DPD)
- Online stores (e.g. Shopify, WooCommerce)
- B2B platforms
- External ERP systems
- Accounting tools
So yes, you can keep parts of your existing setup, and simply connect them with Odoo WMS. This way, you preserve your past investments while gaining centralized data and automation where you need it most.
How long does implementation take, and who handles it?
In many cases, it only takes 2 minutes to start using Odoo’s WMS.
Odoo includes features that cover most standard warehouse processes.
Unless your needs are highly specific, you can start almost immediately. For more advanced configurations, you can always work with an implementation partner, but it’s optional.
You decide how complex you want your setup to be, and how fast you want to grow it.

How much does Odoo WMS cost?
The first app in Odoo (such as inventory) is completely free, with no user limits or time restrictions.
Costs come into play only when you want to connect the WMS with other modules (like sales, invoicing, or e-commerce).
In that case, Odoo switches to a subscription model, where you pay a monthly fee per user. Exact pricing is available on the official Odoo site.
If you decide to get professional support for the implementation, there may be additional costs for configuration and integration, but this depends on your project's scope. A simple warehouse module will cost you nothing at all.
Who is WMS in Odoo for?
Odoo’s WMS is ideal for anyone tired of data chaos, manual entries, Excel files, and juggling disconnected systems.
If you want everything in one place - from order to warehouse to invoice and shipment - Odoo could be the right solution.
Even if you’re starting small, the system scales with you.
And even if you’re not planning to grow, but just want order and real-time data access - that’s already a good reason to centralize control.
What’s next?
If you think Odoo WMS might help your warehouse, take the next step and see it in action.
You don’t have to implement everything at once. Start small, test it, and see if it works for you.
