Australian Business Lookup

Check the business before the paperwork goes out.

Before a company name, ABN or business detail reaches a quotation, purchase order, invoice, contract or onboarding document, check that the Odoo record represents the right Australian entity.

Review ABR evidence, resolve ambiguous matches and apply supported updates without repeatedly leaving the contact workflow.

What Improves

Verify the entity before relying on the record

Start from the Odoo company contact and review Australian Business Register evidence using supported ABN, ACN, company and location information.

Review ambiguous matches before anything changes

Inspect uncertain candidates and choose the intended Australian entity instead of blindly accepting a fuzzy result.

Improve records without overwriting trusted data

Apply supported ABR updates conservatively while preserving existing non-ABN Tax IDs and existing native location values.

Work through missing ABNs in batches

Queue selected Australian company contacts, follow each outcome and send ambiguous or failed records to human review.

Enrichment tells you more. Verification helps make sure you have the right business.
Why We Built It

We needed to verify Australian businesses before sending formal documents.

Enrichment can make a contact richer, but that is different from checking that the record represents the right Australian entity.

Manual verification meant leaving Odoo, searching externally, comparing similarly named businesses, checking identifiers and location information, then returning to update the record.

Australian Business Lookup keeps that verification workflow with the Odoo contact and keeps uncertain matches subject to human review.

Customer-controlled ABR access

Each customer supplies its own ABR Web Services credential. Lookup requests travel directly from the customer's Odoo server to ABR Web Services. CXO Advisory does not receive the lookup data.

Before and After

Before

Leave Odoo, search an external service, compare similarly named businesses, find the identifier, return to Odoo and update the record manually.

After

Start from the customer or supplier, review ABR evidence in context and apply only the supported changes you choose to accept.
