Classic Collective: Car Workshop & Online Shop on Odoo 19 Enterprise
Moved from Odoo Online to Odoo 19 Enterprise on Odoo.sh: branded workshop website, online parts shop with fitting options, event booking, and a module that imports supplier price lists in minutes.
Classic Collective moved from Odoo Online to Odoo 19 Enterprise: a branded workshop website, an online parts shop with fitting options, event booking, and a module that imports supplier price lists in minutes.
Odoo Online Architectural Bottlenecks & Multi-Supplier Logistics
Classic Collective already had products loaded on Odoo Online and wanted to start selling. But Odoo Online would not let them change the shop's menus, build pages for each product category or control how products were ordered inside them. Each supplier also shipped differently. Wagner additives went out from the workshop's own stock, Revotec and Team Dynamics parts were drop-shipped, and Vintage Tyres could only be delivered to the workshop for fitting. The team needed the website to say all of that, and to stop retyping supplier price lists by hand.
Odoo.sh Enterprise Migration, Custom Fulfillment Rules & Product Import Engine
Steigern Tech migrated the entire database to Odoo 19 Enterprise on Odoo.sh with Git-based staging pipelines, implemented a bespoke racing green and navy brand theme with mega menus, engineered category-specific delivery and fitting modules, automated supplier price list imports with VAT and margin calculation, and launched online event registration and sustainability pages.
Execution Architecture & System Flow
The end-to-end technical and operational workflow engineered for Classic Collective.
Migrate to Odoo.sh Enterprise
The Odoo Online database moved to Odoo 19 Enterprise on Odoo.sh, with a staging environment for testing before each release. Payment providers, email and user access were rebuilt; the live domain switches over once staging is signed off.
Browse & Brand Architecture
The homepage leads with the shop, then walks visitors through servicing, maintenance, upgrades, partner brands, tyre fitting and client reviews. A WhatsApp, call and email bar sits on every page.
Shop & Brand Organization
Categories are organised by brand (Autoglym, BCC Braking, CRF Seats, Millers Oils, Revotec, SPAX, Team Dynamics, Vintage Tyres, Wagner). Product pages show a gallery, SKU, VAT-inclusive price, delivery time and fitting choice.
Deliver & Fulfillment Logic
The delivery module applies each category's charge and time at checkout: posted from workshop stock, drop-shipped by the supplier, or delivered to the workshop for fitting.
Import & Price Automation
Staff upload a supplier price list and pick a saved mapping template. Products are matched by SKU, a price rule applies margin, rounding and 20% VAT, images are fetched from URLs, and missing categories are created. Errors are listed before anything is imported, and every run keeps a log.
Book & Community Events
Visitors register for open days, meets and masterclasses online, with free and paid tickets and confirmation by email.

The Real Problem vs What The System Does
A direct 1-to-1 comparison between operational bottlenecks and custom software capabilities engineered for Classic Collective.
Odoo Online allows no custom code, so the shop could not be shaped around the business
Moved the database to Odoo 19 Enterprise on Odoo.sh, keeping products, variants, customers, orders, pages, menus and SEO URLs
The standard theme limited menus, category pages and product ordering
A custom theme in the brand's green and navy, with mega menus for servicing, maintenance and upgrades and a shop organised by brand
Every supplier had its own delivery rule
A delivery module that sets the charge and delivery time per product category, e.g. 48-hour delivery for workshop stock and drop-ship times for supplier stock
Customers could fit parts at home or have them fitted at the workshop
Fitting options on the product page, with an email for a fitting quote. Tyres ship to the workshop only, explained on a dedicated Vintage Tyres fitting page
Supplier price lists were retyped by hand
A product import module: upload a supplier XLSX or CSV, map its columns once, preview every row, then create or update products by SKU
Open days and masterclasses were organised by phone and email
Odoo Events pages with dates, ticket types, capacity and online registration
The workshop's apprenticeship and sustainability work had no home online
Responsibility pages for the Heritage Skills Academy, awards, carbon offsetting and sustainable fuels
Production Technology Stack
Every library, database engine, and infrastructure provider was audited for latency, stability, and zero vendor lock-in.
