Alireza Group
Invoicing HR Procurement Multi-company Asset Management
Alireza Group is a prominent Saudi conglomerate operating across logistics, shipping, vehicle importation, real estate, and finance. With a history spanning over a century, the group manages six independent companies, all deeply embedded in regional infrastructure and supply chain ecosystems. Its reputation is built on operational scale, reliability, and its ability to manage massive volumes across multiple sectors.
Challenge
To support its strategic ambitions and growing operational complexity, Alireza Group needed to unify its core back-office functions across all six companies. The legacy JD Edwards system had become fragmented, costly to maintain, and poorly adapted to real-time needs in a high-volume environment.
Key challenges included:
- Fragmented finance, procurement, and HR systems across subsidiaries
- High IT maintenance costs and slow adaptability of JD Edwards
- No central visibility on asset and vehicle flows across business units
- Manual duplication of data and reporting delays
- Inability to scale operations and governance under one system
Solutions
Solution Founder migrated Alireza Group’s entire operations from JD Edwards to Odoo, unifying processes across logistics, real estate, and finance in one cloud-native, scalable ERP environment.
1Unified Core Functions with Odoo
Solution Founder consolidated financial, HR, and procurement workflows across all six entities. This migration replaced siloed and redundant tools, enabling group-wide automation and cost efficiency.
- Centralized financial reporting, budgeting, and cash flow management
- Procurement lifecycle digitized from purchase requests to supplier payment
- Integrated HR modules for recruitment, payroll, and compliance across companies
2Real Estate Asset Management
With 50+ buildings under its real estate arm, Alireza needed structured oversight of leases, maintenance, and cost allocations. Solution Founder implemented a tailored property management module within Odoo.
- Property and lease contract lifecycle tracking
- Maintenance scheduling and service vendor integration
- Automated cost distribution across business units
3Logistics & Vehicle Flow Optimization
Odoo was configured to provide a unified view over logistics operations, managing more than 620K containers and over 1M vehicles moved annually.
- Central visibility on container movements and customs processes
- Import/export flow management integrated with procurement
- Vehicle tracking, inventory, and allocation across business units
Result
Strategic alignment and operational clarity
Following the implementation, Alireza Group saw a notable transformation in the coherence and efficiency of its operations. Teams across entities now work within a shared system, with consistent processes and real-time access to data.
- Operations centralized under a single ERP platform, reducing system fragmentation
- Financial and HR processes streamlined across entities, supporting better compliance and transparency
- Enhanced decision-making through improved visibility into group-wide procurement and asset usage
- Reduced reliance on manual reporting and duplicated data entries
- Greater agility in adapting business models and scaling new processes
