Chef Mehmeti’s passion for culinary excellence and his commitment to fostering a culture of hospitality have been instrumental in shaping the company’s unique identity. His name is synonymous with modern Albanian cuisine, and his influence extends well beyond the kitchen, driving the strategic vision of Gjurma Hospitality.
When Gjurma Hospitality approached us, they were looking to streamline and modernise their operations to support their rapid growth and ensure consistency across their various locations. They needed an integrated solution that could efficiently manage their administrative, financial, and operational workflows. After a thorough analysis of their needs, we implemented Odoo to serve as the backbone of their business operations.
The transition to Odoo allowed Gjurma Hospitality to unify their processes across all departments, from procurement and inventory management to point-of-sale and financial reporting. The system’s flexibility and scalability were essential in enabling them to maintain the highest standards of service while optimising their back-office functions. With Odoo, the company has gained real-time insights into their operations, allowing for more informed decision-making and improved operational efficiency.

MARINA BAY
As a proud member of the prestigious German Maritim Group, Maritim Marina Bay Luxury Resort & Spa has set the standard for luxury in the Balkan region. This exceptional resort has become synonymous with elegance and refinement, offering guests a truly tranquil escape in one of the last remaining havens of peace and natural beauty.Nestled along Albania's stunning coastline, Maritim Marina Bay spans an impressive 20,000 square metres, featuring exquisite architectural design, exceptional hospitality, and culinary delights. With an exclusive beach, serene surroundings, and breathtaking sea views, the resort promises an unforgettable experience for all its guests.
From the outset, the resort faced operational challenges due to reliance on three disparate software systems: a point-of-sale (POS) solution for services, a property management system (PMS) for hotel operations, and local accounting software for financial management. The visionary owner possesses a strong background in mathematics and data science, fueling his ambition to consolidate all resort operations into a single, integrated platform. His goal was to create a comprehensive dashboard that would enable him to oversee and manage all resort data effortlessly.
When we first connected with the owner and discussed his vision, we recognized the complexity of the project ahead. Despite the challenges, we firmly believed in Odoo's capability to transform their operations and fulfil their aspirations.
Our collaboration began with an in-depth analysis of all operational facets. We conducted thorough meetings with each department, meticulously assessing their unique needs and requirements. After ten months of intensive collaboration and a shared passion for excellence, we successfully transitioned Maritim Marina Bay from their legacy systems to Odoo. This comprehensive implementation encompassed two restaurants, two beach bars, two pool bars, a lounge, and a hotel with over 150 rooms, as well as the finance and maintenance departments.
The dedication and effort invested in this project have filled us with immense pride as we have enabled Maritim Marina Bay to realise its vision. We understand that the journey toward seamless operations is ongoing, and we remain committed to supporting them as they navigate the complexities of daily operations with Odoo.
