Automotive operations built around the Odoo platform
RQM connects standard Odoo CRM, Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Rental, Fleet, Maintenance, Documents, Invoicing and Accounting. Vehicle-specific dealership and rental requirements—such as VIN records, inspections, trade-ins, deposits, fines and contract controls—are configured around the operator’s policies.
CONNECTED VEHICLE FOUNDATION
One connected record for every vehicle
A configured vehicle record can connect sourcing, unique identification, acquisition cost, availability, sales or rental activity, customer history, service records and financial transactions. Teams work from consistent information across the vehicle lifecycle.
- Follow each vehicle from sourcing through sale, rental or disposal.
- Connect sales opportunities and rental demand with availability.
- Keep inspections, documents, service and customer activity together.
- Give management current stock, utilization, cost and revenue visibility.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What automotive operators usually ask
Can one Odoo environment support both vehicle sales and rentals?
Yes. CRM, Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Rental, Fleet, Invoicing and Accounting can share customers, vehicles and financial data. The final design must distinguish vehicles held for sale, rental, internal use or service and apply the correct workflow to each.
Can every vehicle be tracked individually?
Odoo Inventory supports unique serial-number tracking, and Fleet maintains vehicle records. An automotive implementation can configure VIN, registration, specifications, condition, documents and commercial status around the chosen master record.
Are trade-ins, deposits and traffic fines standard features?
Not as one universal turnkey workflow. Trade-in appraisal, security deposits, damage charging, fines, insurance excess and legal contract requirements should be designed and configured according to company policy and local regulations.
Do dealerships and rental operations need to go live together?
No. A phased rollout can begin with shared vehicle, customer and accounting foundations, then introduce dealership sales and rental operations in controlled stages according to business priority.
