How To Show Geolocation Based Pricelist?
Odoo is one of the most fastest growing ERP based open source software. Most businesses cater to Odoo due to its ability to provide all the features required at one place.
In today's world, almost 75-80% of the data can be attached to a location and can be displayed on a map. Odoo also allows to manage all the business data of a company location wise. In the latest upgrade of Odoo version 13, we can see that the contact address is displayed on a map.
This is possible because of the use of Geolocation in Odoo. So "What is Geolocation?
According to wikipedia, "Geolocation is the identification or estimation of the real-world geographic location of an object, such as a radar source, mobile phone, or Internet-connected computer terminal.
In its simplest form, geolocation involves the generation of a set of geographic coordinates and is closely related to the use of positioning systems, but its usefulness is enhanced by the use of these coordinates to determine a meaningful location, such as a street address".
In Odoo, there can be worldwide customers of a company. So, it is very important to generate pricelists for these customers according to the location.
In this blog, we will see how we can configure pricelists based on geolocation in Odoo 13. We'll also see how to install and configure GEO IP package in ubuntu server.
