Hello Jorge,

I once did a customization for a customer to track shipping containers.

It didn't feel generic enough for a reusable module and our choice was to extend the Package object.

Dear Jorge，

Thank you for sharing this initiative. We’ve actually developed a similar solution since Odoo 12, where we introduced an import.container document to centralize the linkage between purchase orders, sales orders, and payment information.

However, our implementation was heavily customized for our specific business needs, so it may not be readily adaptable for other clients.

I’ll definitely keep an eye on this discussion. If there are any updates or a repository link for the development progress, please do share it—I’d be very interested to follow along.

Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!

Best regards,

Hi everyone,

We’re working with a client that requires improvements to the container import process in Odoo, and we’re preparing to start development soon. As many of you may know, container imports typically involve a specific workflow, including:

Import documentation
Import type (air, sea, consolidated, etc.)
Landed costs allocation
Container tracking and scheduling
Customs and clearance milestones
Follow-ups on estimated arrival/departure dates

Our current approach is to extend the purchase order model to serve as the foundation of this workflow, allowing us to maintain a familiar structure while introducing the additional logic and tracking needed for container-level visibility and process automation.

Before we begin, we’d like to ask the community:
Is anyone else currently working on something similar or interested in collaborating on this?
Are there existing OCA modules or partial solutions we should consider extending?

We see potential value in making this a broader OCA-compliant project, especially as container tracking and landed cost accuracy are pain points for many companies working with international suppliers.

Happy to share a more detailed spec or jump on a call to discuss use cases. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.

Best regards,
