Manufacturing ERP in Dammam & the Eastern Province
Make-to-order for industrial and energy suppliers — with the cost of every work order
🌐 We're based in New Cairo, Egypt, and serve companies in Dammam remotely: online meetings, remote implementation, training and support.
The Eastern Province is the heart of the Kingdom’s heavy industry: Dammam’s Second Industrial City is one of the largest industrial cities, Jubail is an hour away, and around them hundreds of factories and workshops supply the energy, petrochemical and construction sectors. Most of them do not produce for stock but to order: every customer brings specifications, drawings, certificates and tests.
That kind of manufacturing needs a system that links the quotation to the work order, materials, labour, machine hours, quality and delivery — and then tells you plainly whether the order made or lost money. That is what we build on Odoo.

Make-to-order manufacturing
From customer request to delivery:
- Quotations built on an estimated bill of materials and routing per product or project
- Sales orders that generate the linked manufacturing and purchase orders automatically
- Work centres and operations with actual time recorded on each step
- Subcontracting: send materials to a subcontractor and receive the finished part
- Serial-number tracking for manufactured equipment and parts
Cost of every work order
In make-to-order, averages hide losses. Odoo collects on each manufacturing order the materials actually consumed, labour hours and machine cost, and compares them with the quotation estimate. With analytic accounting you see profitability per customer and project, and price the next quotes better.
Maintenance, quality and certificates
What industrial and energy customers usually require:
- Scheduled preventive maintenance and corrective requests, with each machine’s history and cost
- Quality control points at receiving, in production and before shipping (Enterprise)
- Material certificates and test results attached to the lot or serial number
- Full traceability from raw-material certificate to delivered product
Local content and reporting for major customers
Suppliers to the Eastern Province’s major companies are often asked to evidence local-content ratios and details of spend and employment. Having purchasing, payroll and production in one system makes that data far easier to extract than collecting it from several programs.
Manufacturing Challenges in Dammam
BOM in Excel = costing errors
Manual product cost calculation = forgotten component or stale update = loss on every unit.
No real-time inventory visibility
Sales sells a product that exists in Excel but not in reality — nervous breakdown with customers.
Production untracked
You don't know where the work order is, whether stage 3 or 4 is done, which batch has quality defects.
Hard to track batch cost
How much did this run cost? Materials + labor + machine depreciation?
