ALHAGGAR MISR — Powering Egypt’s Industry with Compressed Air Solutions
ALHAGGAR MISR is a leading Egyptian joint-stock company specializing in compressed air solutions, with a paid-in capital of EGP 44 million and a workforce of over 230 employees. Established in 1977 by Eng. Omar Elhagger, the company pioneered the compressed air industry in Egypt—becoming the country’s first specialized provider of air compressors and later launching the first Egyptian factory dedicated to manufacturing and assembling air compressors in 6th of October City.
Serving industrial customers nationwide, ALHAGGAR operates through an extensive network of warehouses across Egypt. Its diversified business model spans importing components and finished products in foreign currencies, local manufacturing and assembly, and the distribution of complete units and spare parts. Managing this scale and operational complexity demands tight control over inventory, costing, financials, and end-to-end operations.
Talents Digital Services (TDS) partnered with ALHAGGAR to implement Odoo ERP, which has been running successfully for over four years. Most recently, the system was seamlessly upgraded from Odoo v15 to Odoo v18, ensuring full data continuity and zero disruption to ongoing business operations.
The Challenge
- Purchasing in foreign currencies with fluctuating exchange rates
- Accurate landed cost calculation and valuation in local currency
- Managing multiple warehouses across the country
- High transaction volumes in sales and inventory
- Complex treasury and banking operations
- Large user base (150+ users) with highly detailed operational roles
- Need for fine-grained security aligned with a detailed operational workflow
These challenges made it difficult to maintain accurate costs, ensure operational control, and produce reliable financial and inventory reporting.
