Import/Export ERP for Multi-Sector Trading Group
Unified all trading verticals into a single system. Finance teams now close books in days instead of weeks, procurement has full visibility into landed costs, and management has real-time dashboards showing margin performance across tobacco, personal care, and beverages.
Problem
Gulbahar General Trading, part of the Gulbahar Group, operates across tobacco, personal care, and beverages — managing complex international import/export operations with hundreds of employees and a broad geographic footprint. Their legacy systems couldn't handle multi-currency transactions, customs documentation, or real-time margin tracking across product categories.
Approach
We conducted a deep-dive into Gulbahar's trading operations — analyzing procurement cycles, import logistics, customs workflows, and distribution channels. The solution was designed to unify all trading verticals under a single ERP with full financial visibility.
Solution
Implemented Odoo ERP covering Purchase, Sales, Inventory, Accounting, and HR across all trading divisions. Built custom modules for import costing with landed cost calculations, multi-currency procurement, customs documentation workflows, and real-time profitability analysis per product category.
Outcome
Unified all trading verticals into a single system. Finance teams now close books in days instead of weeks, procurement has full visibility into landed costs, and management has real-time dashboards showing margin performance across tobacco, personal care, and beverages.
“Managing three different product lines across international borders was chaos before Orhan brought everything into one system. We finally have the visibility we needed.”
