Pioneers in Oman's Shoe Manufacturing Industry
In the bustling landscape of Oman's shoe manufacturing industry, Al Waqia Shoes Company stands tall as a beacon of innovation and progress. Founded in 1996 with a mission to serve the nation by supplying a diverse range of shoes, including safety, military, and uniform footwear, Al Waqia Shoes Company has emerged as a leading player in the market.
A Quest for Efficiency
Meet Mohammad Alawati, the Operation Director of Al Waqia Shoes Company, whose vision and leadership have propelled the company to new heights. In a recent interview, Mohammad shared insights into the company's journey and the pivotal role that Odoo, an all-in-one business management software, played in transforming their operations.
Odoo's Integrated Solution
"Al Waqia started with a modest production capacity of 250 pairs a day," Mohammad reminisces, "but today, we boast a remarkable output of 2500 pairs in a single day." Their products cater to a wide array of sectors, ranging from construction and oil & gas to hospitality and military services.
Streamlining Processes with Odoo
However, like many businesses, Al Waqia encountered challenges with their previous Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Mohammad highlights two key issues: the system was server-based, restricting work to the organization's premises, and internal processes were fragmented, hindering efficiency and traceability.
Al Waqia's Adoption of Odoo
Undeterred by these obstacles, Al Waqia embarked on a quest for a solution that would enhance their ERP system's performance and alleviate employee workload. Enter Odoo – a game-changer that seamlessly addressed their concerns.
Results with Odoo
"Working with Odoo, we transitioned from a server-based to a cloud-based system, liberating employees to work remotely," Mohammad explains. "Moreover, Odoo's integrated approach consolidated disparate processes, enabling us to effortlessly track sales orders, deliveries, and invoicing in one centralized platform."
A Testament to Odoo's Impact
The results were nothing short of remarkable. Mohammad reveals, "With Odoo, we experienced a 15% increase in sales quantity and achieved a 10% reduction in production costs through optimized calculations." Reflecting on their journey with Odoo, Mohammad describes the software in one word: "extremely user-friendly." It's a testament to Odoo's commitment to simplicity and efficiency, empowering businesses like Al Waqia Shoes Company to thrive in a competitive landscape.
