Overview

AmiViz is a marketplace for cybersecurity in the Middle East and Africa that is intended to benefit businesses like resellers and vendors. Driven by innovation and cutting-edge technologies, AmiViz provides a unique collaborative self-service tool – in the form of a mobile app and a web-based Portal - to enterprise resellers, consultants/system integrators, channel partners, and vendors.

AmiViz is a marketplace that connects small and medium-sized businesses with top and specialized cybersecurity vendors. Endpoint Protection & Identity Management, Threat Intelligence, Cloud Security, Network & Data Analytics, and Risk & Compliance are four distinct service offerings available through AmiViz.

AmiViz has built a significant customer capital of 3,000+ across industries like Government, BFSI, Oil & Gas, Telcos, and large businesses by combining channel empowerment with a strong commitment to providing excellent client experiences.

AmiViz’s core philosophy is based on four key pillars of its platform – Collaboration, CEC Lab, Data Intelligence, and Automation. AmiViz is using Odoo-based collaboration tools and order-processing automation with no hassle and zero technical skills. It helped its reseller partners and vendors with a single repository for all deal data information.

Business Challenges

The client was capable of providing basic access to the system while keeping reseller-specific data on their portal. However, they were facing issues with further customization options with limited customer support.

Amiviz's commissions, reseller rebates, reseller sales rep incentives, and loyalty point redemption were all difficult to handle. It was difficult to separate the general and opportunity-specific requests. Furthermore, it was pretty challenging to grant vendors access to all of their product leads/opportunities (as well as their sales), and keep track of their orders.

Abstract

Amiviz has been using the Zoho system, and it didn’t work great, so they decided to go with Odoo because of its customization options and UI specifications. Brainvire, being an Odoo Gold Partner, helped them in transforming, and replaced Zoho with Odoo Marketplace, Backend Solution - with modules such as: Sales, Purchase, Accounting, Marketing, and other required customizations (according to the client’s business needs).

The Amiviz client is linked to the Spectrami organization. They are a worldwide Value-Added Distributor providing comprehensive Cyber Security solutions. By selling Vendor Incubation Packages and then promoting the sales of those goods through a robust channel of Resellers, they operate their business. As a result, Brainvire decided to give them a full-fledged Odoo solution with its industry experts.

“The engagement rate rose when Odoo was used to automate order processing and provide relevant user information. In addition, the Data & Analytics platform keeps track of all critical indicators to help businesses make informed decisions for profit. This digital transformation resulted in a new consumer experience” - CEO, Amiviz.

Odoo Implementation

Our experts from Brainvire have a deep understanding of Odoo development and have built the backend system for the distributor to a high level, due to their extensive expertise with the platform. The following is the list of modules in Odoo that can be used to make backend operations easier.

SALES MODULE

The system will send quotes in a few clicks and can generate orders & invoices from one screen.

Also, they receive a sales alert before sending their team of experts to particular end-users, or customers for specific products, if necessary.

Collaboration Portal for Reseller (Universal Messaging Platform)

We developed a Collaboration Platform where the users can start and keep a record of a lead-specific chat, and add or remove individuals, as needed. The attachment-sharing function of this collaboration platform is utilized to communicate and distribute files, just like other messaging platforms for resellers, vendors, and Amiviz users. Each chat has its own set of stages, such as the Initial Inquiry Stage, a Potential Opportunity, Confirmed Order & Estimated Scheduled Delivery Stage, Shipment Tracking Stage, and Reviews & Rating stage.

Marketplace

ODOO RESELLER PORTAL

Brainvire created a marketplace for Amiviz using the Odoo Multi-Vendor Marketplace. The module allows Amiviz to work with many vendors and sell their items online. As a Marketplace Owner (Admin), Amiviz has complete control over products, orders, sellers, etc., as well as seller shops, and much more.

Brainvire created a Reseller Portal for Amiviz that allows resellers to post contracts, sign them electronically, and share them back with the distributor. In addition, resellers can offer purchasing quotations from the vendor, and distributors can provide leads.

On the Reseller portal, we've set up a section with Flash promotional deals (and Rebate offers) on the reseller portal. Amiviz has made items available for resellers to add to their sales portfolio, and provided them the opportunity to share any lead from a web portal.



ODOO VENDOR PORTAL

There will be no more lost emails or late replies, saving time and effort. No need to track each email manually; there are no tracking conversations in mails; curtail going through lengthy independent threads on mailing systems to pin down information and data...

We were able to assist Amiviz and their vendors in establishing clear methods for communicating with one another, allowing Amiviz to control (and track) their suppliers in Odoo.

In the separate Vendor Menu in Odoo, Amiviz can look up vendor quotes and respond to them, as well as change their status. Brainvire's collaboration platform managed the communication smoothly.

Vendors can use the same tracking flexibility.

RFQs are an excellent technique for company owners to keep track of their purchase orders. Vendors can track the status of their sent RfOs from their portal, send RfQs to the Odoo admin, and check the response from the admin to sent RfQs (Approved, Pending, Denied, and Checked).

Brainvire-Odoo Implementation

The Brainvire team used Odoo to create a bifurcated dashboard based on reseller user roles, such as sales representative, stock manager, marketer, and accountant. We programmed the backend of Odoo to show reseller-specific information on the reseller's portal depending on their contract with the client.

Brainvire Odoo experts created logic. The incentive for reseller sales reps, and commission for salespeople, can be tracked separately in Odoo, via a separate logic.

Brainvire designed an efficient and transparent communication system that allowed all parties to interact successfully. In addition, we created a “genuine-only” vendor portal, where they can view all current opportunities for goods and purchase orders for vendors. Therefore, Brainvire’s Odoo ERP development service expertise will play an essential part in assisting the company's smooth advancement to Odoo.
