Emad Bakeries
Emad Bakeries is a leading Saudi industrial bakery delivering over 250 SKUs daily across the Kingdom. With a reputation for quality and consistency, the company operates an extensive distribution network supported by a fleet of over 100 vehicles and a workforce of 400+ employees. Emad Bakeries serves both B2B clients and large retailers with a strong commitment to freshness, efficiency, and traceability.
Challenge
To sustain rapid growth and meet rising market demands, Emad Bakeries needed to modernize and connect its entire value chain—from production to distribution—in a single, scalable system.
Key challenges included:
- Lack of visibility across production, inventory, and delivery flows
- Decentralized systems and siloed data slowing down operations
- Complex logistics management with 100+ vehicles and regional hubs
- Difficulty tracking 250+ daily-delivered SKUs in real time
- Need for centralized planning and resource optimization
Solutions
Solution Founder implemented a fully integrated Odoo ERP solution, aligning Emad Bakeries’ operational ecosystem—from factory floor to final delivery—into a single, real-time platform.
1Centralized Production & Inventory Management
All production units and inventory locations were consolidated in Odoo, ensuring real-time visibility of raw materials, finished goods, and batch movements. This gave planners a live view of resource usage and inventory levels, reducing waste and improving responsiveness to demand fluctuations.
2Fleet & Distribution Coordination
The fleet of over 100 vehicles is now managed directly within Odoo, with integrated route planning, delivery tracking, and vehicle availability monitoring. Drivers, delivery schedules, and customer orders are synchronized daily to optimize routing and reduce fuel and time costs.
3End-to-End Operational Control
From demand forecasting to dispatch, all business functions are now aligned in one system. Production, stock, delivery, and planning are centrally managed, allowing executives to monitor KPIs and intervene in real time. Managers benefit from dashboards that highlight bottlenecks and opportunities for optimization across the supply chain.
