Customer story · Odoo.com · Customer Reviews · 11 July 2021
Odoo's customer-review blog documents the transformation of Dr. Baker & Khaled Pastry (Waly Group) — the Damietta bakery-solutions manufacturer with craft since 1959 and 400+ employees — from four disconnected legacy systems to one integrated Odoo core. The article credits the project's consultant by name: Eng. Ramadan Khalil — today Co-Founder & CEO of CDS Solutions.

The starting point
Four legacy systems that didn't talk to each other — accounting/inventory, HR, POS and CRM — plus manufacturing and quality tracked on untamed spreadsheets, no purchasing approval cycle, and paperwork swallowing hours. The article lists uncontrolled production quality and lost leads among the costs.
What one governed core changed
With everything on Odoo, a three-tier purchasing approval cycle stopped the leakage that had hidden a $50,000 theft; accurate attendance ended overtime creep; e-commerce turned a Ramadan season into a third of revenue with no new shops; and receivables collection tightened dramatically — every figure above quoted from Odoo's published article, not from us.
The consultant behind it — and why it's on this page
The Odoo article credits the implementation to consultant Ramadan Khalil (then at certified partner Plementus), who mapped the workflows, built them on Odoo, and delivered the Fawry and CIB integrations — years before Fawry and CDS announced their formal partnership. That consultant is today Co-Founder & CEO of CDS Solutions, and Dr. Baker appears among the manufacturing references on CDS's official Odoo partner profile. We publish the attribution exactly as the source states it.
An up-to-date and automated business model with less complexity.
