OKLA EV Dealer, PDI & Warranty Platform

Project Type: Odoo Customization / EV Dealer ERP / Warranty & Vehicle Lifecycle Management

Overview

A customized Odoo environment was developed for OKLA electric vehicles to manage vehicle data, sales documentation, PDI, product-component warranties and customer verification.

The solution expanded conventional ERP functionality into an electric-vehicle after-sales and documentation platform.

Challenge

Electric vehicles contain multiple major components with different technical specifications and warranty periods.

A normal product invoice does not adequately manage information such as:

• Battery
• Motor
• Controller
• Charger
• Component-specific warranty
• Vehicle identification
• Inspection
• Registration
• Customer verification

The business also required professionally branded customer documents that could be maintained without repeatedly changing backend code.

Solution

Custom Odoo modules and workflows were developed around vehicle intake, sales, inspection, warranty and verification.

Detailed Vehicle Specifications

Vehicle records support specifications including:

Battery

• Battery type
• Capacity
• Voltage
• Related warranty information

Motor

• Motor type
• Motor capacity
• Motor identification

Controller

• Controller specifications
• Warranty information

Charger

• Charger specifications
• Warranty information

Additional vehicle components can also maintain their own warranty definitions.

Product-Wise Component Warranty

Instead of applying one generic warranty to an entire vehicle, warranty information can be maintained by component.

Examples include:

• Battery warranty
• Motor warranty
• Controller warranty
• Charger warranty
• Additional component warranty

Warranty Card Generation

Customer warranty documentation can show component-level coverage and relevant warranty dates.

Pre-Delivery Inspection

PDI functionality connects inspection information with the exact vehicle being delivered.

The system supports vehicle-specific inspection records rather than generic checklists disconnected from inventory.

Vehicle Sales & Invoice Integration

Vehicle information follows the sale into customer documentation.

Custom invoice and vehicle documents can display:

• Customer information
• Vehicle details
• Chassis/motor information
• Product information
• Warranty information

Editable Business Templates

Operational document templates were structured so business teams could maintain branding and document content without extensive backend redevelopment.

Templates include:

• Customer invoice documents
• PDI documents
• Warranty documents
• Excise/registration documents

QR & Barcode Verification

Verification capabilities were introduced for customer-facing documents.

The architecture supports:

• QR codes
• Barcode-based identification
• Vehicle/document verification
• Passcode verification

This creates an additional authenticity layer for vehicle and warranty records.

Branded Reports

Customer-facing reports were standardized with professional:

• Header
• Footer
• Company branding
• Vehicle information
• Structured technical data

Engineering & Compatibility Work

The deployment also involved resolving complex Odoo customization issues including:

• Module installation failures
• Missing security definitions
• Model/view mismatches
• Stale XML views
• Registry restoration
• PDI field compatibility
• Warranty method integration
• Report layout corrections
• Upgrade-safe module changes

Technology

• Odoo
• Python
• PostgreSQL
• XML
• QWeb
• QR/Barcode integration
• Custom Odoo modules

Outcome

OKLA gained an ERP layer tailored to electric-vehicle operations, connecting inventory, technical specifications, PDI, component warranties, branded documents and customer verification within Odoo.
