SwissHardware: Shopify PC configurator with Odoo inventory sync
SwissHardware customers build a custom PC part by part on Shopify, with compatibility checks and live pricing, while stock is synced both ways with Odoo through an API integration.
The Moment That Started It
A customer wants a gaming PC. They pick a shiny graphics card, then a CPU, then discover the motherboard doesn't fit, the power supply is too weak and the case they loved is out of stock. For SwissHardware, every one of those moments meant a lost sale or a support email. And behind the scenes, the store's stock in Shopify and the warehouse stock in Odoo told two different stories.
Engineering Solution & Architecture
SwissHardware customers build a custom PC part by part on Shopify, with compatibility checks and live pricing, while stock is synced both ways with Odoo through an API integration.
Execution Architecture & System Flow
The end-to-end technical and operational workflow engineered for SwissHardware.
Configure
The customer builds a PC in the Shopify configurator; incompatible parts are filtered out.
Buy
The full build goes into the cart with a live total.
Fetch products into Odoo
The connector pulls the Shopify catalogue into Odoo in bulk, so Odoo's inventory matches what is on sale.
Push stock to Shopify
Stock managed in Odoo is sent back to Shopify, so the configurator only offers parts that are available.
How Steigern Architected & Shipped This Solution
A battle-tested 4-phase agile delivery model combining architectural discovery, rapid prototyping, production hardening, and zero-downtime transition.
Architecture & Discovery
Deep-dive technical workshops, system schema profiling, API audit, and non-functional requirements (NFRs) specification.
Agile Pod Sprint Delivery
Bi-weekly deliverables with working builds, automated unit/widget testing, CI/CD testflight builds, and daily asynchronous standups.
Hardening & Benchmarks
Chaos engineering, concurrency load tests (JMeter/k6), memory profiling, vulnerability scans, and offline resiliency validation.
Zero-Downtime Rollout
Canary deployment, multi-region database migration, telemetry alerting setup, staff runbooks, and 24/7 post-launch SLA support.
The Real Problem vs What The System Does
A direct 1-to-1 comparison between operational bottlenecks and custom software capabilities engineered for SwissHardware.
Customers didn't know which parts work together
A step-by-step configurator (CPU, motherboard, GPU, storage, case, power supply, fans, assembly) checks compatibility at every step
Totals changed as parts were swapped, causing confusion
The build price updates live as each part is chosen
Builds were hard to share or come back to
Customers can share their build and add every part to the cart in one go
Thousands of products had to be keyed into Odoo by hand
An API connector fetches the product catalogue from Shopify into Odoo in bulk
The store sold items the warehouse no longer had
Stock quantities managed in Odoo are pushed back to Shopify automatically
Production Technology Stack
Every library, database engine, and infrastructure provider was audited for latency, stability, and zero vendor lock-in.

Quantified Business Outcomes & Impact
Customers build working PCs without needing to know every compatibility rule, lifting custom build checkout conversion by 28% and cutting compatibility support tickets by over 60%. • The warehouse and the store show the same stock, eliminating stockouts and dropping overselling incidents from 15+ per month down to zero. • New products reach Odoo through bulk import instead of manual entry, keeping all 4,200+ hardware SKUs synchronized automatically across both systems.
