PV-COM connects RS-232 and USB scales to Odoo without needing the costly official IoT Box. The weight appears directly in Odoo POS, inventory, or manufacturing. Compatible with Odoo Community and Enterprise. PV-COM® is also known as PVCOM or PV COM.
The IoT Box problem
Odoo's official IoT Box is the standard solution for connecting scales, but it's expensive and requires network setup. PV-COM does it in software, with no extra hardware.
The technology behind it
PV-COM doesn't need you to install any plugin or anything special — PV-COM captures the weight and sends it to the point of sale, inventory form, or purchasing via keyboard emulation.
Two integration modes: PV-COM can send the weight to Odoo in two ways. Server mode: PV-COM exposes the weight on a local port that Odoo queries directly (requires configuring Odoo). Keyboard mode: PV-COM sends the weight directly to the active field of the Odoo form via keyboard emulation, with no changes to Odoo's configuration. Our technician determines which option is best for your specific setup.
Features for Odoo
PV-COM covers every scale use case in Odoo, from the point of sale to manufacturing and inventory.
PV-COM acts as a local weight server exactly like Odoo's IoT Box. Odoo doesn't notice the difference — it just sees a scale server available on the local network.
No IoT Box · Save $300+ USDPV-COM can send the weight directly to the active field of the Odoo form as if it were a keyboard. Ideal for Odoo in the cloud, where there's no local server configuration.
Odoo Online · Odoo.shPV-COM works with both locally installed Odoo and Odoo Online (cloud). Keyboard emulation mode doesn't require Odoo and the scale to be on the same network.
Local · Online · Odoo.shPV-COM works with Odoo 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, in both Community (free) and Enterprise editions. No additional Odoo modules required.

Not just POS. PV-COM sends the weight to any active field in Odoo, whatever module you're using.
Weight goes directly into the quantity field in the POS when selling products by weight.
Logs the weight when receiving or dispatching goods on incoming and outgoing delivery orders.
Captures the weight of raw materials and finished products in manufacturing orders.
Enter the weight directly into sales order lines for products sold by kilogram.
Logs the weight of products received from suppliers on purchase orders.
Compatibility
PV-COM doesn't depend on any internal Odoo API, so it's compatible with all current and previous versions.
PC requirement: Windows 10 or Windows 11 (32 or 64-bit) on the computer connected to the scale. PV-COM installs on that PC. Odoo can be on the same PC, another computer on the network, or in the cloud.

Technical guide
With PV-COM installed on the PC where the scale is, the software acts as a local weight server. Odoo is configured to query that local server instead of the official IoT Box. The result is identical: the scale's weight automatically appears in Odoo when weighing the product.
PV-COM is the leading software alternative to Odoo's IoT Box for connecting scales. It costs a fraction of the official IoT Box price, requires no additional hardware, supports more than 100 RS-232 and USB scale brands, and works with every version of Odoo from 12 through 19.
With PV-COM, any RS-232 scale can work with Odoo POS. PV-COM emulates the protocol of the brands Odoo recognizes (such as Mettler Toledo or CAS), converting your real scale's data stream to the format Odoo expects. Compatible with Torrey, CAS, Dibal, Ohaus, Moresco, and more than 100 brands.
Yes. PVCOM, PV COM, and PV-COM® are the same software from Mavin Colombia SAS. The official name is PV-COM®, but many users search for it as PVCOM or PV COM without the hyphen. If you searched for "PVCOM scale" or "PV COM software," you're in the right place.
