Being a company with a technological and strategic vision, we needed a strong and unified system that could help us connect the different business functions, provide ability to thoroughly monitor our on-ground stocks & sales, accurately forecast the quantities required and sales targets across different territories and most importantly bring to the foodservice industry the first food distribution online platform in the region and build a great blog that can help us spread the professional knowledge in the industry and connect the foodservice community professionals.

We implemented Odoo after just 2 months from starting the business to increase the business processes automation and to create strong integrations and connections between the different business functions. Having a unified system eliminated the need for using multiple applications, the business processes became more centralized, running smoother and faster. Not to mention, the increased visibility over the business and the remarkable increase in the communications and collaboration between the different business functions.

Odoo has transformed our business by reducing the time and effort consumed in the manually conducted business processes and eliminating the human errors that occurred before. It allowed us to have more control over the business and increased the visibility over our sales operations and our warehouses.

Our business is growing with each Odoo upgrade, we have seen an increase in the business performance, benefited from the feature updates in each Odoo version, we started the journey from Odoo 9 to Odoo 11 and most recently upgraded to Odoo 14.
