Al Hussain Soap and Chemical Industry
Challenge
Al Hussain Soap and Chemical Industry faced significant operational difficulties due to its manual and decentralized working model across three separate production locations: Industrial Estate Nowshera, Gadoon Amazai Industrial Estate (Swabi), and Industrial Estate Mardan. Each branch maintained its own records for production, inventory, accounting, and HR, resulting in inconsistent data, delays in reporting, and limited visibility for management. The lack of a unified system made it difficult to track raw materials, finished goods, and internal transfers accurately, especially with large production volumes and multiple warehouses.
HR processes were also heavily manual—attendance tracking, payroll, leave approvals, and employee records were processed separately at each site, creating errors and increasing administrative workload. There was no central mechanism to monitor work centers, production operations, or procurement activities in real time. This often caused delays in manufacturing planning, forecasting, and decision-making.
Sales, purchases, and procurement workflows were also disconnected, making it challenging to maintain accurate cost calculations, stock status, and supplier performance data. Training gaps further limited the organization’s ability to adopt digital solutions.
Overall, the company needed a unified, smart ERP platform capable of automating operations, standardizing processes across all branches, improving transparency, and providing real-time insights to support scalable growth.

Solution
To address the operational challenges of Al Hussain Soap and Chemical Industry, a comprehensive and fully integrated Odoo-based ERP solution was designed and implemented across all three branches—Nowshera, Gadoon Amazai (Swabi), and Mardan. The goal was to centralize data, automate processes, and create real-time visibility for management.
The solution included the deployment of a unified Accounting & Finance module, allowing standardized financial entries, automated journal postings, accurate cost tracking, and consolidated branch-level reporting. A complete HRMIS was implemented to digitize employee records, automate payroll calculations, integrate a smart attendance system, and streamline leave, loans, and advance salary workflows.
For production and inventory management, we set up multi-location warehouses, work centers, and manufacturing operations to ensure every stage of raw material consumption, production, and finished goods movement is tracked digitally. Internal transfers, scrap management, quality checks, and batch tracking were fully integrated to reduce errors and improve efficiency.
The Sales, Purchase, and Procurement modules were configured to automate price lists, supplier communication, purchase approvals, and sales orders. Real-time stock monitoring ensures accurate forecasting and eliminates stockouts and overproduction.
To support smooth adoption, extensive training sessions were conducted for all departments, ensuring staff could confidently utilize the new system. Through this integrated smart ERP, Al Hussain Soap and Chemical Industry gained transparency, standardized workflows, improved productivity, and complete control over operations across all branches.
