The challenge
Where Talimia started
Before GBH’s solution, Talimia faced:
Fragmented systems across sales, production, and inventory
No centralized visibility into furniture batches or material usage
Long lead times between custom orders and manufacturing planning
Difficulty managing multi-channel orders—from campuses to libraries
Manual production scheduling impacted delivery accuracy
How GBH delivered
4 phases from mapping to go-live
GBH implemented Odoo end to end for Talimia, configured around how the business actually works.
Phase 01Workflow Mapping
- Mapped processes from custom quote to production and dispatch.
- Identified delays in batch tracking, procurement planning, and production schedules.
Phase 02ERP Deployment
- Implemented Odoo 18 (Egypt Localization) with modules for:
- Production (BOMs for desks, shelves, modular classroom setups)
- Inventory tracking (multi-location control and raw material monitoring)
- Sales (quote-to-order workflows for schools and institutions)
- Purchase (supplier coordination for raw materials)
- Quality & Traceability (batch-level tracking for durability & standards)
- Accounting (ETA-focused invoicing and cost accounting)
Phase 03Reporting & Visibility
- Dashboards for sales pipelines, stock consumption, production load, and delivery KPIs.
- Real-time insights into batch traceability and production performance
Phase 04Training & Go-Live
- Delivered training to production teams, sales planners, warehouse staff, and leadership
- Enabled go-live with full support for furniture batch control and delivery tracking
