Real-time sync between an Odoo mobile app and the Odoo backend is handled through a combination of API calls and event-based updates.
To achieve stable real-time synchronization:
Use Odoo REST/JSON-RPC APIs to push and fetch orders, customer records, and stock levels.
Implement long-polling or WebSockets (via Odoo’s bus module) for instant updates when orders, inventory, or partner records change.
Add server-side triggers (write/create overrides) to notify the mobile app whenever a record updates.
Use queue jobs for heavy tasks to avoid mobile-side delays.
Enable Odoo Mobile App caching so the app works even with slow internet and syncs later.
Use token-based API authentication to keep data secure during real-time sync.
This setup ensures orders, stock movements, and customer data stay fully synced between your Odoo mobile app and your live Odoo backend, even during high activity.
