Industry know-how, built into your books and your ERP.
Every industry has its own costing, billing and reporting needs. We set up your accounting and Odoo to match yours.
One set of books for your shop, your website and your marketplaces.
Retailers and online stores in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt sell through more channels every year: physical branches, a Shopify or Salla store, Amazon, Noon and social commerce. Each channel brings its own payment gateway, its own fees and its own VAT treatment. We give you one Odoo ERP and one set of books where every sale, refund and settlement lands in the right account, so your margins, inventory valuation and VAT returns are right the first time.
- Sales split across POS, Shopify, Salla, Amazon and Noon, with no single view of revenue
- Stock counts that never match the system, and margins nobody trusts
- Payment gateway and COD settlements that are hard to reconcile
- Returns, discounts and gift cards that distort VAT and revenue
- Odoo POS, Inventory, Sales and Accounting working as one system
- Shopify or Salla connector with orders, customers and stock synced
- Average or FIFO costing with landed costs on imported goods
- Automatic matching of gateway, Tabby/Tamara and COD settlements
- ZATCA or UAE VAT compliant invoices and receipts at every channel
- Barcode-based receiving, transfers and cycle counts
- Gross margin % by channel and SKU
- Inventory turnover and days of stock
- Sell-through rate
- Average basket value
- Return rate by product
- Cash and card variance per shift
Know what every product really costs to make.
Factories in the Gulf and Egypt need to know what each product really costs: materials, labour, machine time and overheads. Without that, pricing is guesswork and inventory on the balance sheet is wrong. We implement Odoo Manufacturing (MRP) with bills of materials, routings and work centres, and set up standard or actual costing that ties production to the general ledger every month.
- Product costs based on old spreadsheets rather than actual consumption
- Raw material, WIP and finished goods values that don't reconcile
- Scrap and production variances that are never measured
- Purchasing that runs out of materials or overstocks
- Bills of materials with versions, by-products and routings
- Work orders and work centres with labour and machine cost rates
- Automated stock moves from raw materials to WIP to finished goods
- Standard or actual costing with variance analysis
- Reordering rules and MRP planning for purchases
- Quality checks and lot or serial number traceability
- Cost per unit vs standard cost
- Material usage variance
- Scrap and rework rate
- Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
- Work-in-progress value
- On-time production rate
Every project's cost, billing and margin in one place.
Contractors and real-estate developers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt run on projects, not just periods. Profit depends on tracking costs per project, billing progress on time, managing retentions and controlling subcontractors. We set up project accounting in Odoo with budgets, cost codes and analytic accounts, and apply IFRS 15 revenue recognition so each project's margin is visible every month.
- Project costs scattered across purchases, petty cash and payroll
- Progress claims and retentions tracked in spreadsheets
- Subcontractor payments that overrun the agreed contract value
- Unit sales, leases and service charges managed outside the books
- Analytic accounting by project, phase and cost code
- Budgets with commitments vs actual cost tracking
- Progress billing (milestone or percentage) with retention accounts
- Subcontractor contracts, certified works and payment control
- Equipment, materials and site petty cash allocated to projects
- Property units, lease contracts, installments and service charges
- Project margin vs budget
- Cost to complete and estimate at completion
- Percentage of completion
- Retention receivable and payable
- Unbilled work (WIP)
- Rent collection rate and occupancy
Control stock, landed costs and margins across every warehouse.
Trading and distribution companies live on thin margins, so landed cost, stock accuracy and credit control decide whether the year is profitable. We implement Odoo for importers, wholesalers and distributors across the Gulf and Egypt, with multi-warehouse inventory, landed costs, multi-currency purchasing, price lists and sales rep tracking, all tied to a clean general ledger.
- Freight, customs and duties not included in product cost
- Stock spread across warehouses and vans with no live view
- Credit limits and overdue customers managed by memory
- Foreign-currency purchases that create unexplained FX differences
- Multi-warehouse and van-sales stock locations
- Landed costs allocated by value, weight or volume
- Multi-currency purchasing with automatic FX revaluation
- Price lists, discounts and promotions by customer group
- Credit limits, payment terms and automated follow-ups
- Sales rep targets and commission reports
- Gross margin by customer, product and rep
- Landed cost per unit
- Days sales outstanding (DSO)
- Inventory days and stock-outs
- Order fill rate
- Credit limit usage
Turn every billable hour into an invoice, and every project into a clear margin.
Consulting, engineering, legal, marketing and IT firms sell time and expertise. Profit depends on how much of that time is billed and collected. We set up Odoo with timesheets, project billing, retainers and expense recharges, so partners see utilisation, realisation and profitability per client and per project, and invoices go out on time with the right VAT.
- Unbilled hours and missed expenses on client projects
- Retainers and milestone invoices tracked manually
- No view of which clients or services actually make money
- Month-end revenue recognition done in spreadsheets
- Projects and tasks with timesheets from web and mobile
- Billing by time and materials, fixed fee, milestone or retainer
- Recurring subscriptions and contract renewals
- Expense claims re-invoiced to clients
- Employee cost rates for true project profitability
- Deferred revenue and accrued income schedules
- Utilisation rate per consultant
- Realisation rate (billed vs worked)
- Revenue per employee
- Project margin
- Work in progress and unbilled time
- Days sales outstanding (DSO)

Industry questions
Can Odoo connect to Salla and Shopify?
Yes. We use proven connectors to sync orders, customers, products and stock, and we map them to the right revenue, VAT and payment accounts.
Which Odoo POS works with ZATCA e-invoicing?
Odoo POS in versions 16 to 18 issues ZATCA-compliant simplified invoices with QR codes and reports them to FATOORA when the Saudi localisation is set up and onboarded correctly.
Can Odoo handle multi-level BOMs?
Yes. Odoo supports semi-finished goods, sub-assemblies, by-products and alternative BOMs.
Can Odoo calculate actual product cost including labour and overheads?
Yes. Work centres carry hourly costs for labour and machines, and overheads can be absorbed by rate, so each manufacturing order shows its real cost against the standard.
Have you implemented Odoo for construction companies?
Yes. Construction and real-estate implementations are part of our selected work, covering project costing, progress billing and installments.
How do you handle retentions in Odoo?
Each progress invoice splits the retention into a separate receivable account, so you can track what is held by each client and release it when the project is handed over.
How are landed costs handled?
Freight, customs and clearing costs are added to the shipment and split across the items, so stock value and margins are accurate.
How does Odoo calculate landed cost on imports?
Freight, insurance, customs duty and clearing charges are added to the receipt and split by value, weight or quantity, so each item's cost includes everything it took to bring it in.
Can staff log time from their phones?
Yes. Odoo timesheets work in the browser and the mobile app, and can be approved by project managers before billing.
Can Odoo bill clients from approved timesheets?
Yes. Approved timesheets flow to the sales order and are invoiced at each consultant's rate, either monthly, by milestone or against a retainer.
Is Odoo too big for a small company?
No. You can start with only Accounting and Invoicing, then add CRM, Inventory or Projects later without changing systems.
When does a startup need to register for VAT?
In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, registration is mandatory once taxable supplies pass 375,000 SAR or AED in 12 months. In Egypt the threshold is EGP 500,000. We monitor this for you and register on time.
