Ocean.io Connector: What if your best customers could help you find more like them?

You've just signed a customer who checks every box. The right industry, the right size, the right budget. One question inevitably comes to mind: how many other companies out there look just like this one, waiting to be discovered? Most of the time, that question goes unanswered, since time is short, you end up prospecting with whatever list you already have on hand. Ocean.io Connector flips that logic around: it starts from your best accounts to help you uncover others that resemble them, all without leaving Odoo.`

The hidden cost of prospecting on a hunch

Without data to guide you, you spend as much time wondering whether a prospect is worth pursuing as you do actually convincing them. You've probably asked yourself these questions before, the same ones that come up with every new contact list: does this company really match your target profile, or just its name on a spreadsheet, how many similar companies are out there that you've never even come across, and is the time spent checking really worth the time you could be spending selling instead.

That's exactly what Ocean.io Connector solves, by connecting the Ocean.io API directly to Odoo, with no need for a separate too.

Three ways to use it, one simple logic

Whether you're hunting for a new account or filling in a record, the mechanics stay the same: search, get an instant result, update the Odoo record.

  • The Lead Prospect wizard finds a company that resembles yours by searching LinkedIn, email, domain, or name, and adds the result straight into your Odoo leads.
  • Its industry, size, revenue, and tech stack let you size it up before you even pick up the phone, so you know whether it's worth pursuing from the very first move.
  • A contact record that's been sitting untouched in Odoo for months gets its email and phone number filled in within seconds, starting from nothing more than a LinkedIn profile or a name.

The company record itself gets updated directly in Odoo, not just the contact or lead tied to it, so the whole organization stays current, not just one isolated person.

Getting set up takes three clicks

You don't need a developer or a support ticket to get started: everything happens right inside Odoo. You paste in your Ocean.io API token, and Odoo detects the URL on its own, generating a secure webhook in the process. From there, you launch a search from a contact, company, or lead record, and the result appears on screen, ready to apply with a single click. For a verified email or phone number, your request goes to work behind the scenes: Ocean.io processes it, and Odoo updates the record the moment it's ready, without holding up anything on your end in the meantime.

Fewer duplicate searches, more time to sell

Time your sales team gets back, and a growing account base without having to redo the same work twice. You qualify a company once, and it stays available to your entire team. If you manage multiple subsidiaries, each one keeps its own instance, its own API token, and its own credits, with no data ever mixing between entities. You also keep an eye on your overall credit usage, so you're never caught off guard by a depleted balance on a Friday afternoon. And if you ever need to look back at a past exchange, every webhook call is logged in detail, ready to be reviewed.

Ultimately, the question is not how many prospects exist in your market, but how many already resemble your best customers. By turning your most relevant accounts into the starting point of your prospecting efforts, Ocean.io Connector reduces uncertainty and helps focus your sales efforts where they are most likely to deliver results.
