Has anyone successfully implemented Odoo 18 POS for a high-volume retail store on low-end hardware?
I'm curious if anyone here has implemented or heavily customized Odoo 18 POS for a high-volume retail environment.
Here's the scenario:
- Around 20,000+ SKUs
- 300–500 transactions per day
- Cashier PCs are fairly low-end (for example, Intel N100 with 4 GB RAM)
- Barcode scanning is the primary workflow, so the POS needs to remain responsive throughout the day.
I'd like to know:
- How does Odoo 18 POS perform under this kind of workload?
- Did you have to customize or optimize it to keep it fast?
- Were there any bottlenecks, such as product loading, searching, memory usage, or browser performance?
- Did you end up changing the hardware specifications, or were software optimizations enough?
I'm especially interested in hearing from people with real production experience rather than benchmarks or assumptions.
Thanks!
