The challenge
Where ESLAB started
Before partnering with GBH, ESLAB faced:
Manual project management, making it hard to track timelines, budgets, and material usage
Disconnected processes between sales, manufacturing, and installation teams
Limited visibility on project profitability and production efficiency
Difficulty managing procurement for specialized lab components
Complex compliance requirements for safety, ventilation, and lab standards
Delays in invoicing and collection due to scattered documentation
How GBH delivered
4 phases from mapping to go-live
GBH implemented Odoo end to end for ESLAB, configured around how the business actually works.
Phase 01Business Process Mapping
- Documented workflows from sales inquiry → lab design → manufacturing → delivery → installation
- Conducted gap analysis to identify inefficiencies in procurement and project execution
- Mapped compliance and quality control requirements into ERP workflows
Phase 02ERP Implementation
- Implemented Odoo (Egypt Localization) tailored for project-based manufacturing
- Connected Sales, Manufacturing, Procurement, Accounting, and Document Management into one platform
- Configured BOMs (Bill of Materials) for each lab furniture type to standardize production planning
- Linked HR payroll and time tracking to project costing for accurate profitability analysis
Phase 03Reporting & Visibility
- Developed dashboards for project progress, manufacturing output, and material consumption
- Enabled profitability tracking by project, product line, and client segment
- Implemented ETA-compliant accounting and tax for full legal compliance
Phase 04Training & Adoption
- Delivered department-wise ERP training sessions
- Provided go-live support and post-launch performance tuning
