Overview

What this migration involves

Inmovilla organizes data around property listings, portal-synced contacts, and agency-level workflows specific to Spanish real estate. Odoo CRM stores leads and contacts as crm.lead and res.partner records, with property data mapped to product.product or custom fields depending on listing type. The migration carries Inmovilla contacts, companies, leads, property associations, and activity history into Odoo via XML-RPC or direct PostgreSQL insertion. Custom fields — property type codes, portal identifiers, biometric-signature metadata — require Odoo custom fields created in Settings > Technical > Models before the migration writes data. Workflows, email templates, portal sync configurations, and automated sequences do not migrate; FlitStack exports Inmovilla workflow definitions as JSON for Odoo Studio rebuild reference. Activity logs (calls, emails, meetings logged in Inmovilla) map to Odoo mail.message and crm.activity records with original timestamps preserved. Owner resolution runs against Odoo res.users by email before any lead or contact is written, preventing orphaned records. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes in Inmovilla during cutover.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Inmovilla

What's pushing teams away

  • Billing disputes and account blocking — customers report being charged for inactive periods and having accounts suspended over disputed invoices, with support described as unhelpful in resolving billing conflicts.
  • Visual design feels dated — a G2 reviewer noted that the UI has not kept pace with modern standards, and while a global redesign is reportedly in progress, the current interface feels behind the times.
  • Limited flexibility for non-standard workflows — agencies with unusual commission structures or multi-office setups report friction when trying to configure the system outside its default assumptions.
  • Lack of transparent public pricing — no publicly documented pricing tiers makes it difficult to compare cost against alternatives before committing to a sales conversation.

Choosing

Odoo CRM logo

Odoo CRM

What's pulling them in

  • Teams choose Odoo CRM for its modular architecture — one base install with one-click app additions means they can adopt CRM alone and add accounting, inventory, or sales later as the business grows.
  • Small businesses pick Odoo because the Community edition is free and open-source, with no per-user or contact limits, allowing full evaluation before committing to a paid Enterprise tier.
  • The drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline and AI lead scoring are highlighted across G2 reviews as concrete features that make lead management faster and more visual than spreadsheet-based workflows.
  • Odoo's native integration with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, and WhatsApp means inbound leads from multiple channels feed into a single pipeline without third-party middleware.
  • Companies in retail, supply chain, and construction value that Odoo's CRM module shares the same PostgreSQL database and UI as its ERP modules, eliminating data silos between sales and operations.

Object mapping

How Inmovilla objects map to Odoo CRM

Each row shows how a Inmovilla object lands in Odoo CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Contact

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla contacts map to Odoo res.partner records as partner-type contacts. The email, phone, street, city, and country fields map directly. Inmovilla contacts without a company association write as res.partner records with no parent_id — Odoo allows this. Owner assignment resolves against res.users by email match before the partner record is written.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Lead / Prospect

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla leads route directly to Odoo crm.lead records. The crm.lead.name field holds the lead title (typically the contact name or property reference). Stage assignment uses value_mapping from Inmovilla pipeline stage names to Odoo crm.stage records per team. Probability maps from Inmovilla's deal probability percentage to crm.lead.probability as an integer 0–100.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Property / Listing

maps to

Odoo CRM

product.product (or custom real_estate.property model)

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla property records map to Odoo product.product with type='product' for sale/rental listings. Property attributes (surface area, bedrooms, energy certificate, floor level) migrate as product attributes via product.attribute and product.template.attribute-line, or as custom fields on product.product. Portal sync status flags from Inmovilla cannot replicate automatically — a custom connector must be rebuilt in Odoo.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Company / Agency Profile

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.partner (company type)

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla agency/company profiles with is_company=True map to Odoo res.partner records with is_company=True and company_type='company'. The Inmovilla CIF/NIF tax identifier maps to res.partner.vat for Spanish compliance. Child contacts under the company inherit the parent_id link via res.partner.parent_id.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Pipeline

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.team + crm.stage

1:1
Fully supported

Each Inmovilla sales pipeline maps to an Odoo crm.team (sales team) with its own set of crm.stage records. Pipeline-level stage names are created as crm.stage records under the corresponding crm.team. If Inmovilla has multiple pipelines per agency, multiple crm.team records are created in Odoo, each with scoped stages.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Deal / Opportunity

maps to

Odoo CRM

crm.lead (opportunity)

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla deals associated with a property and a contact map to crm.lead records with type='opportunity'. The crm.lead.partner_id links to the res.partner (contact). Property reference stored in a custom x_property_ref field on crm.lead. Planned revenue maps to crm.lead.planned_revenue.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Communication Log (email, call, meeting)

maps to

Odoo CRM

mail.message + crm.activity

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla logged emails, calls, and meetings migrate as Odoo mail.message records linked to the corresponding res.partner or crm.lead via model and res_id. Call metadata (duration, outcome) stores in custom fields on mail.message. Odoo crm.activity records are created for scheduled follow-up activities with the original planned_date preserved.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Portal Sync Configuration

maps to

Odoo CRM

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla's automatic listing sync to idealista, Fotocasa, and other Spanish portals has no Odoo Community equivalent. The portal credentials, sync schedule, and listing-to-portal mapping must be rebuilt as a custom Odoo connector or via a third-party integration. We flag every Inmovilla portal-sync rule in the migration plan as a rebuild task.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Workflow / Automation

maps to

Odoo CRM

No equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla automated sequences, email drip campaigns, and trigger-based workflows do not migrate. FlitStack exports Inmovilla workflow definitions as a structured JSON file for your Odoo admin to rebuild using Odoo Studio automation rules or server actions. CRM automations in Odoo are rebuilt from scratch per business process.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Attachment / File

maps to

Odoo CRM

ir.attachment

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla property photos, floor plans, and document attachments re-upload to Odoo as ir.attachment records linked to the corresponding product.product (property) or crm.lead (deal). Files are stored in Odoo's filestore or an external storage location specified in the migration config. Inline images in Inmovilla notes are downloaded and rehosted.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Owner / Agent

maps to

Odoo CRM

res.users

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla owner_id on contacts and deals resolves against Odoo res.users by email address match. Unmatched owners are flagged in the pre-migration audit — you either create Odoo user accounts for them before the migration runs or assign their records to a fallback res.users (e.g., the admin account). Active status and login access are validated at resolution time.

Inmovilla

Inmovilla Property Type / Category

maps to

Odoo CRM

product.category

1:1
Fully supported

Inmovilla property type classifications (apartment, villa, commercial, land) map to Odoo product.category records. The category hierarchy in Inmovilla (parent type / sub-type) maps to product.category.parent_path for tree-structured filtering in Odoo product views.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Inmovilla portal sync has no Odoo equivalent and must be rebuilt

    Inmovilla's core differentiator is its automatic listing sync to Spanish real estate portals (idealista, Fotocasa, Milanuncios, Habitaclia). Odoo Community has no built-in portal connector — property listings pushed to Odoo will not automatically syndicate anywhere. After migration, your team needs to either commission a custom Odoo connector for each portal or subscribe to a third-party real estate listing service. We document every Inmovilla portal-sync rule and credential in the migration plan so your developer can rebuild them in Odoo Studio or via a custom Python module.

  • Property data requires Odoo custom fields before migration data can land

    Inmovilla stores property attributes that have no Odoo standard equivalents — energy certificate rating (x_certificado_energetico), surface area (x_superficie_m2), bedroom and bathroom counts, orientation, floor level, and portal sync status flags. Odoo requires these custom fields to be created in Settings > Technical > Models before any product.product records are inserted. FlitStack delivers a custom-field creation manifest as part of the pre-migration schema setup phase so the Odoo environment is ready before any data move begins. Skipping this step results in truncated property records.

  • Inmovilla's per-feature pricing model means migration scope can expand unexpectedly

    Inmovilla activates features per-module (biometric signatures, virtual tours, portal sync, commission tracking) and prices accordingly. When migrating, the data model in each activated module may include custom fields not visible in a basic export. If your Inmovilla setup has biometric signature metadata or virtual tour URLs attached to property records, those fields need custom field creation in Odoo before the migration runs. FlitStack audits the full Inmovilla field inventory during the discovery phase and flags any activated-module fields that are absent from the base export, preventing a partial migration.

  • Owner resolution by email can orphan records if Inmovilla agent emails don't match Odoo user logins

    Inmovilla stores owner_id on contacts and deals as an agent reference. Odoo crm.lead.user_id requires a valid res.users.id. If an Inmovilla agent has email '[email protected]' in Inmovilla but the corresponding Odoo account uses '[email protected]', the email-match resolution fails and that agent's records land unassigned. FlitStack runs an owner resolution audit before the migration: unmatched owners are flagged with the expected email format, and your Odoo admin either creates the correct user accounts or assigns a fallback user before the migration commits.

  • Odoo XML-RPC API has no native batch delete endpoint — large test runs need careful sequencing

    Odoo's XML-RPC API supports create, write, and unlink at the record level but lacks a bulk delete operation equivalent to Salesforce's Bulk API hard-delete. When running test migrations, records created in Odoo must be unlinked one-by-one via xmlrpc/deleted, which can be slow for large test sets. FlitStack uses a PostgreSQL truncate strategy for test cleanup (dropping specific Odoo tables and re-initializing the sequence) when the test run exceeds 1,000 records, ensuring fast test-cycle turnaround without API timeout issues.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Inmovilla to Odoo CRM data migration

  1. Audit Inmovilla field inventory and create Odoo custom fields

    FlitStack runs a full export of Inmovilla's active modules, custom fields, and portal-sync configurations to build the custom-field creation manifest for Odoo. Property-specific fields (surface area, energy certificate, bedrooms, portal sync flags) are defined as product.product custom fields before any data migration begins. Inmovilla workflow definitions are exported as JSON for Odoo Studio rebuild reference. The manifest is reviewed with your Odoo admin before Odoo schema changes are applied.

  2. Resolve Inmovilla owners against Odoo res.users by email

    All Inmovilla owner_id references are matched against Odoo res.users records by email address. FlitStack generates a mismatch report listing Inmovilla agents without a corresponding Odoo user account, including the email format expected for a successful match. Your team creates the missing Odoo user accounts before the migration runs. Any owner that cannot be resolved receives a fallback assignment to the designated migration admin account, and all such records are flagged for manual reassignment post-migration.

  3. Migrate res.partner records before crm.lead to satisfy foreign-key constraints

    Odoo's res.partner table is referenced by crm.lead via partner_id. FlitStack sequences the migration so partner records (contacts and companies) are written to Odoo first. During this phase, Inmovilla contacts map to res.partner, Inmovilla company profiles map to res.partner with is_company=True, and parent-child relationships are established via parent_id. Product categories from Inmovilla property types are created as product.category records before property data lands.

  4. Migrate crm.lead opportunities and product.product property listings

    With partners in place, Inmovilla leads and deals map to crm.lead records. Stage mapping applies per crm.team: each Inmovilla pipeline stage name resolves to the corresponding crm.stage.id under the appropriate sales team. Property listings migrate as product.product records, populating standard fields (name, default_code, list_price) and custom fields (x_surface_m2, x_energy_certificate, x_portal_sync) in a single write per record. Property-contact associations are stored via crm.lead.x_property_ref pointing to the product.product.id.

  5. Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 representative records

    A representative slice of Inmovilla data — spanning contacts, companies, leads, properties, and activity logs — is migrated to Odoo first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values for every mapped column. You review stage mapping, custom field population, owner resolution, and property attribute completeness before the full migration commits. Any mapping corrections are applied to the migration config and the sample re-runs until the diff is clean.

  6. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback readiness

    The full Inmovilla dataset migrates to Odoo via XML-RPC in sequenced batches to respect API rate limits. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens after the main migration window: any Inmovilla records modified or created during cutover are captured and written to Odoo as a final batch. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record created, updated, or skipped. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies critical data gaps. Post-migration, the workflow JSON export is delivered for Odoo Studio rebuild, and the portal-sync configuration document guides your developer on rebuilding Inmovilla's portal connectors.

Strengths

  • Modular open-source architecture lets teams start with CRM and add ERP apps as needs grow, all sharing one PostgreSQL database.
  • Free Community edition with no contact limits and full source code access means zero licensing cost for evaluation and small deployments.
  • Drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline with AI lead scoring gives a visual, prioritized view of the sales funnel without requiring custom configuration.
  • Native integrations with email, live chat, SMS, VoIP, WhatsApp, and social media feed all inbound leads into a single unified inbox.
  • Active Odoo Community Association (OCA) maintains dozens of community-maintained modules on GitHub for extended functionality.

Weaknesses

  • Gmail and email integration reliability is a recurring complaint — threads drop and conversations scatter across inboxes, disrupting sales team workflows.
  • Enterprise edition pricing stacks quickly: multiple apps at per-user rates ($25–$50/user/month) plus Odoo.sh hosting costs more than many SMBs anticipate.
  • Setup and configuration complexity increases significantly once custom fields, automation rules, and multiple installed modules are in play.
  • Odoo.sh trial databases run on a version (e.g., 18.3) that is not directly migratable to Odoo.sh, blocking the assisted migration path Odoo advertises.
  • Version upgrades between major Odoo releases (e.g., 17→18) frequently break custom module view definitions and XPath expressions, requiring manual remediation.

Most Inmovilla-to-Odoo migrations complete within 48–72 hours of clock time for datasets under 50,000 total records. Larger setups exceeding 500,000 records or those with extensive property custom fields (biometric signatures, multi-language descriptions, portal-sync metadata) extend to 5–7 days. The longest planning step is creating Odoo custom fields for property attributes and resolving Inmovilla owner emails against Odoo user accounts before the migration runs. The actual data move via Odoo XML-RPC runs as a background job with batch commits.
