What It Is

Siso Smart Suite is Shinshout’s plugin suite for Odoo 18 and 19, positioned as a practical enhancement that “fills in the remaining 20%” of standard Odoo. The page shows Smart Hub and Smart Fields as already available, with Smart POS, Smart Vipps, Smart Views, and other modules planned. Its main selling points are support for both Community and Enterprise editions, with no external dependencies and no lock-in.

Core Capabilities

Smart Hub replaces Odoo’s standard home screen with a full-screen app center. It offers automatically balanced categories, alphabetically sorted apps, collapsible groups, prefix-based deep search across models, and a My Tools sidebar for pinning deep links to frequently used records. This can deliver real value for high-frequency daily workflows and navigation efficiency in large Odoo instances.

Smart Fields is more focused on low-code/no-code customization. It lets users create real database fields on any Odoo model without Python or a server restart. It supports form injection with selectable tabs, sections, and columns, while also providing icons, labels, previews, and downloads for file attachment fields. Field types include text, integer, boolean, dropdown, tags, file attachment, and more, and they can automatically become available in filters, grouping, exports, and reports. For Community users, it can serve as an alternative to Odoo Studio; for Enterprise users, it can coexist with Studio through the x_siso_ prefix.

Pricing and Ecosystem

The currently disclosed prices are €35 for Smart Hub and €15 for Smart Fields, available through Odoo Apps. Smart POS is planned to support sending ESC/POS data directly from the browser to USB, serial, and network thermal printers without an IoT Box, and will include receipt design, Norwegian-compliant X/Z reports, and archiving. Smart Vipps is aimed at Vipps MobilePay payments in Norway and Denmark, but is still under development.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The strengths are its clear positioning, low entry price, coverage of both Community and Enterprise editions, and focus on real Odoo pain points such as navigation, field customization, and attachment management. The downsides are that the product is still at an early stage, with several modules not yet released; its open-source status, license period, refund policy, upgrade terms, and support SLA are not specified. It is suitable for Odoo implementers, in-house Odoo administrators, and business teams that want to reduce the amount of custom development required.

Access from China and Alternatives

The page does not provide information on access from mainland China, payment methods, or local support, so its availability in China can only be marked as unknown. If procurement is restricted, alternatives include Odoo Studio, similar modules on the Odoo App Store, or equivalent plugins developed by a local Odoo service provider.
