Short-term contract: Odoo AI developer

Short-term contract: Odoo AI developer for a timber wholesaler (open worldwide)

A client of HapuCFO Solutions, an established Australian timber wholesaler, is investing in AI to sharpen how it plans, serves, and delivers. We’re looking for an Odoo AI developer to take on a short-term contract, and we’re open to talent anywhere in the world.

The contract: an AI demand planning module on Odoo ERP

Timber is a tough category to forecast. Long lead times, seasonal building cycles, and a wide range of species, grades, and lengths make it easy to tie up cash in the wrong stock. We want a demand planning module inside Odoo that turns sales history, supplier lead times, and market signals into reliable purchasing and stocking decisions.

What could follow

This contract is the first step in a broader AI roadmap. The business also plans to build AI models for:

• Customer service
• Delivery scheduling
• Backorder reporting
• Order bank status reporting

Deliver well on the first project and there is a clear path to further work.

Who we’re looking for

• Proven Odoo development experience (custom modules, inventory, purchasing, and sales)
• Hands-on experience building forecasting or machine learning models and integrating them into an ERP
• Wholesale, distribution, or building materials experience is a strong advantage
• Clear communicator who can explain technical choices in plain language
• Based anywhere, in Australia or overseas, with some overlap with Australian business hours for regular check-ins

How to apply

Send me a message with a short summary of your Odoo and AI experience, examples of similar work, and your availability and rate. Know someone who fits? Please tag them or share this post.
