Challenges Faced:

Despite their global footprint and product innovation, Sasmar faced significant challenges in aligning their operations with a unified ERP system. The key issues included:

• Disparate Systems Across Countries: Their teams in various regions (Belgium, USA, UK, France, Singapore, Australia) were working with isolated tools, creating inefficiencies and data silos.

• Complex Manufacturing and Job Work Flow: Sasmar’s production ecosystem involved external vendors for both semi-finished and finished goods, which lacked proper integration into their internal systems.

• Multi-Company Setup Management: Handling cross-border transactions, inter-company transfers, and local compliance posed major difficulties.

• Manual Approvals and Paper-Based Processes: This affected turnaround times and lacked audit trails.

• Limited Visibility into Inventory, Sales, and Purchases: Due to non-integrated systems, real-time tracking and forecasting were nearly impossible.

• HR and Payroll Fragmentation: Managing global HR operations and employee records was inefficient and not scalable.

• Outdated ERP Versions: Sasmar had legacy instances of Odoo (from version 8) which were not fully optimized for modern workflows and integrations.

To resolve these challenges, Sasmar required:

• A robust, scalable ERP system capable of supporting 100+ users.

• A multi-company and multi-currency environment with centralized control and local flexibility.

• End-to-end automation of Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Invoicing, Approvals, Accounting, HRMS, and Website management.
