Before
Across Somaliland, Sompetroleum stood as a key player in the petroleum, retail, and logistics sector. While its reach was wide and impact strong, the company faced challenges in maintaining smooth operations. Their reliance on fragmented systems created barriers to efficiency, visibility, and decision-making. Managing petroleum distribution, retail outlets, and logistics simultaneously became a daunting task, often slowing growth and increasing costs.

The Challenge
- Multiple systems causing data silos and inefficiency.
- Difficulty in tracking petroleum distribution and retail operations.
- Limited visibility into inventory, logistics, and financial performance.
- High operational costs and delays in decision-making.
Solution
To overcome these challenges, Sompetroleum adopted Odoo ERP as a unified solution. By implementing key modules such as Accounting, Petroleum, POS, Inventory, and Logistics, the company centralized its operations into a single, integrated platform. Odoo’s flexibility allowed seamless management of fuel distribution, retail stations, employee workflows, and logistics, while also enabling direct communication through Odoo WhatsApp integration.
The implementation, completed within just one month, ensured minimal disruption to operations while equipping the company with powerful tools to manage its growing network across Somaliland.
After
The impact was immediate and transformative. Sompetroleum gained real-time visibility across all operations, from petroleum supply chains to retail sales and logistics. Decision-making became faster, costs were reduced, and collaboration across teams improved dramatically. With streamlined workflows, the company could now expand confidently while staying aligned with its mission to deliver reliable petroleum and retail services across Somaliland.
