Have you ever been:

• Tired of waiting for a developer every time you need a new report?
• Need client-ready PDFs that actually look like your brand?
• Want to replace wkhtmltopdf headaches with reliable Python output?

• Banded Report Writer is the answer

Every Odoo team reaches a point where standard reports need to go a step further—closer alignment with specific business requirements often calls for either development work, technical tools like QWeb, or accepting a compromise. Wilson Works built Banded Report Writer to simplify that path and make advanced reporting more accessible.

Built by Odoo functional consultants with deep hands-on experience, Banded Report Writer brings true banded reporting (in the style of Crystal Reports) into Odoo. Reports are defined in clean, validated JSON, rendered in pure Python, and delivered as professional PDFs—with no QWeb, no wkhtmltopdf complexity, and no custom code. Functional consultants, business analysts, and end users can design, deploy, and iterate entirely from within the Odoo UI.

Banded Report Writer is available in three editions for both Community and Enterprise Odoo: a fully featured Free core engine, a Community Library for sharing and discovering reports across the Odoo ecosystem, and Pro, which adds images, watermarks, runtime parameters, SQL data sources, snippet libraries, and scheduled email delivery. The Free and Community Library editions are available for direct download below, while Pro is published on the Odoo Apps Store.
