The Turning Point: Outgrowing Fragmented Systems

The group used a patchwork of solutions including Foodics PoS, Excel, and paper records, which became unsustainable with rapid business growth.

The Solution: Why Odoo was the Right Fit

End-to-End Solution

Odoo offered a full suite for sales, inventory, manufacturing, HR, and finance.

Flexible Customization

Azkatech tailored printouts and workflows for catering and diet models.

Localized Expertise

Adapted to Kuwaiti accounting, Arabic reporting, and local needs.

Unified Visibility

One source of truth for kitchen operations, inventory, and transfers.

Ease of Use & Training

Ensured smooth onboarding for staff across kitchens and offices.

Reliable Partnership

Azkatech provided process reengineering and reliable support.

The Results: Immediate and Impactful

The switch to Odoo, guided by Azkatech, delivered a swift and dramatic transformation, improving operations, increasing visibility, and bringing the organization together under one ERP.

Before Odoo

Fragmented Foodics, Excel, and paper records.
Manual stock and purchase tracking was unreliable.
No link between kitchen operations and central stores.
Disconnected and delayed financial reporting.
High, untracked food waste impacting profitability.

After Odoo & Azkatech

A unified ERP for all catering, diet, and pastry operations.
Chef-driven procurement & real-time inventory movement.
Automated internal transfers (STOs & DOs).
Brand-level, localized financial reports in real-time.
Scrap management module to improve profitability.

With Azkatech, we didn’t just get a software—we got a smarter way to run our business.
