Vermont Sales
Electrical products e-commerce with automated catalog management
Overview
Vermont Sales is an electrical products distributor with a catalog of over 2,900 products ranging from circuit breakers to solar panels. They needed an online presence that could handle their massive product inventory while integrating seamlessly with their Odoo ERP backend.
We built a complete e-commerce solution on Odoo 19 with automated image sourcing, product consolidation, and SEO optimization across nearly 3,000 products. The result is a catalog that's clean, searchable, and ready for customers to buy from.
The Challenge
11,891 electrical products existed as separate templates instead of grouped variants, causing "no valid combination" errors on the website. Product images were missing for most items, and prices needed to be managed per-variant with complex attribute combinations. The catalog was technically functional but practically unusable for online sales.
The Solution
Odoo 19 E-commerce
Full e-commerce setup with custom product consolidation to group related variants under shared templates.
Automated Image Pipeline
Custom scraping pipeline sourced product images from manufacturer catalogs, achieving full image coverage across the catalog.
Variant Grouping
29 separate BF09 contactor templates consolidated into 2 templates with 29 variants. Same pattern applied across all product families.
Per-Variant Pricing
Pricing managed via product.pricelist.item on the "ED List (Vat Incl)" pricelist, with complex attribute combinations handled cleanly.
Custom Attributes
Control Voltage, Control Type, Aux Contacts, and Main Poles defined as structured attributes for filtering and display.
Batch Consolidation
91% template reduction in batch 1: 7 product families covering 153 products consolidated into 14 clean templates.
