Retail EcommerceInside Glaze
Glaze is a specialist Greek online retailer of premium car-care and detailing products, founded in 2016 and operating as the domestic importer for a portfolio of international brands. The customer profile defines what serious specialist e-commerce retail actually demands: an evolving catalogue of imported premium products, a Magento storefront carrying the consumer-facing volume, a physical retail surface with POS and EFT compliance, a warehouse layer that has to keep stock aligned across both channels, a multi-carrier outbound shipping flow, and a regulatory backbone that closes on every transaction in real time. Engagements of this shape, where specialist e-commerce, a unified online-and-offline retail surface, and the integration breadth that imported-brand operations actually need all sit on one operational stack, are exactly what Existanze's implementation practice is built for. Our methodology rests on fifteen years of systems-integration work, our proprietary EXN Middleware platform, a canonical data model honed across 90+ production integrations, and a portfolio of Odoo modules we author and maintain in-house. With Glaze the engagement extends one step further: we build the Magento storefront, we run the Odoo backbone, and we maintain both ends of the stack as a single holistic platform. Glaze chose Existanze for the unified retail platform, and for the operational ownership underneath it.
Greek specialist car-care retail on Odoo with Magento, POS, and EXN Courier
Glaze runs on Odoo across Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Accounting, POS, and Website, with a Magento storefront on the consumer-facing edge. Accounting sits on our EXN Greek Localization and EXN AADE MyData modules for real-time AADE compliance, with our EXN EFT/POS module integrating the card terminal directly into the register so the payment, the receipt, and the inventory move close together at the moment of sale.
The integration layer is where the engagement gets distinctive. EXN Middleware sits at the heart of the operational stack and carries the bidirectional Magento-to-Odoo synchronisation that keeps catalogue, orders, customer records, and inventory aligned between the storefront and the ERP. Our EXN Courier service handles the multi-carrier outbound flow through ACS, ELTA Courier, Geniki Taxydromiki, and Speedex, amongst others, so a parcel can leave the warehouse on whichever carrier the rate sheet, the SLA, and the destination call for, with real-time traceability across every supported courier, Cash-on-Delivery handling, and post-delivery consolidation flowing back into Odoo on every parcel. The retail surface and the e-commerce surface read the same canonical data model, so a sale at the till, an online order, and the inventory underneath all resolve against the same truth. The Magento storefront itself is an Existanze build, maintained by the same practice that runs the Odoo backbone, which is what makes the platform genuinely holistic rather than a stack of stitched-together vendors.
Existanze runs both ends of our stack: the storefront and the back office. That means the catalogue, the orders, the inventory, the till, and every courier all live on one platform, maintained by the same team, so we can stay focused on the brand partnerships rather than on reconciling systems.

A flagship Greek specialist e-commerce reference on Odoo
The Glaze engagement is a strong reference for specialist Greek e-commerce on Odoo. A category-specialist online retailer running on a single platform across the full retail stack, with the data flowing between systems without manual reconciliation, and with both the storefront and the ERP backbone built and maintained by the same partner, is what serious modern Greek specialist retail on Odoo actually looks like.
For our practice, the engagement evidences how Odoo extends naturally into specialist e-commerce when the integration layer, and the storefront layer, are built for it. We are systems-integration experts and long-term Odoo partners. We use Odoo as the key business framework for our systems deployability and integration work, providing businesses with a holistic environment to achieve across the board organization transparency.
