zSYNC Implementation Strategy

Welcome to the right place to learn how we at Zebroo plan and implement your zSYNC projects with you.

Quick intro to the zSYNC Module​

zSYNC is a modular interface framework that transforms Odoo into a flexible data hub. Instead of programming custom integrations, users configure them using a standardised three-step pipeline: Grab → Map → Dump. This approach drastically reduces development time and cost, while increasing transparency and maintainability.

Our Offer​

Part 1: zSYNC License

  • The zSYNC software license covers:

    • Use of the zSYNC Module in your own Odoo instance(s).

    • Ongoing migration of the core zSYNC code to the latest Odoo version.

    • Bugfixes in the zSYNC core (excluding issues caused by incorrect customer configurations).

It does not include the implementation or configuration of custom pipelines.

Part 2: Professional Services (Time & Material)

  • The Professional Services covers all implementation tasks, such as:

    • Knowledge transfer & onboarding

    • Custom pipeline design and configuration

    • Testing, debugging, and validation

    • Automation setup

Billed based on actual effort – ensures flexibility and transparency.

Implementation Process​

Your Roadmap to Odoo Integration with zSYNC

Step 1: Kick-off & Planning​

  • Project team introductions (On both the Zebroo & Client sides)

  • Confirmation of MVP goals and scope

  • Access provisioning to all relevant systems

  • Test vs. Production environment decision

Step 2: Installation & Setup​

  • zSYNC app installed in the client's Odoo environment

  • System connections (to external APIs, other Odoo systems, etc.) configured

Step 3: MVP Pipeline Configuration​

  • Pipeline definition based on the business case (e.g. product sync, order import, etc.)

    Use of standard zSYNC steps:

    • Grab: Pull data from a source

    • Map: Assign, transform, and prepare data

    • Dump: Write data to the destination system

Step 3.1: Data Grab Configuration​

  • Select source (Odoo model, API endpoint, file)

  • Define filters (e.g., Odoo domain filters)

Step 3.2: Mapping Setup​

  • Visually assign source fields to destination fields

  • Apply data transformations

  • Configure key fields for update vs. create logic

Step 3.3: Data Dump Configuration​

  • Select destination system and model

  • Configure data writing logic

Step 7: Testing & Debugging​

  • Run test jobs for single steps or full pipeline

  • Use step-by-step debugging for in-depth issue tracking

  • Correct configuration or data issues

Step 8: Automation Setup​

  • Schedule regular runs using Odoo Cronjobs/Triggers

  • Trigger integrations via events or API calls

Step 9: Documentation & Handover​

  • The pipeline in zSYNC serves as living documentation

  • Train internal stakeholders (IT team, developers)

  • Prepare client for ongoing maintenance

Step 10: Go-Live & Monitoring​

  • Migrate pipeline to production (if developed in staging)

  • Final testing in live environment

  • Setup of zSYNC monitoring dashboard

Step 11: Success Recap & Future Outlook​

  • Review of MVP success and value delivered

  • Discuss possible expansion of integrations using zSYNC

MVP Effort Estimation​

A typical MVP (e.g., simple product sync or order import) takes approximately 1–3 person-days depending on complexity. The Time & Material model ensures billing aligns with actual effort and progress.
