Overview
Hills Developments is the real estate development arm of INTRO Group, a prominent Egyptian conglomerate founded in 1980. Since its establishment in 2015—sister to Hills Construction—it has earned a reputation for delivering visionary, mixed-use and residential projects across Egypt. In partnership with PRD Development, Hills brings together expertise in innovation, quality, and industrial-scale engineering to craft unique living environments.
HILLS is a leading organization in its sector, facing operational challenges due to fragmented systems and manual processes. They approached TDS to implement Odoo ERP for streamlined operations, real-time insights, and scalability.
The Challenge
Prior to working with TDS, Hills Developments struggled with inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems and manual workflows:
- Inventory data scattered in spreadsheets, leading to errors and stock inconsistencies.
- Sales orders processed manually, resulting in delays and operational bottlenecks.
- Financial information dispersed across tools, hindering timely reporting and accurate insights.
- Departmental silos, which limited collaboration and slowed strategic decision-making.
These challenges impeded Hills’s ability to scale efficiently and maintain its competitive edge in the dynamic real estate market.
The Solution
TDS designed and implemented a customized Odoo ERP solution aligned with Hills’s business requirements, leveraging deep expertise in real estate ERP implementations:
- Deployment of key Odoo modules including Inventory, Sales, Purchase, Accounting, CRM, and HR — fully integrated to eliminate data gaps.
- Tailored workflows and dashboards created by TDS to support approvals, reporting, and real-time operational visibility.
- Seamless integration with existing systems, ensuring continuity and data integrity during transition.
- Comprehensive training and phased rollout, ensuring fast user adoption and minimizing business disruption.
Through TDS’s structured implementation methodology — refined over dozens of Odoo deployments across the MENA region — Hills gained a cohesive digital platform that supports both current needs and future growth.
The Impact
- Inventory accuracy improved by 85%, drastically reducing stock variances and operational risk.
- Order processing times shortened by 60%, boosting responsiveness across sales and operations.
- Monthly financial closing time cut from 10 days to just 2, enabling faster, data-driven financial insights.
- Real-time dashboards empowered forecasting and planning, strengthening strategic decision-making.
The results of TDS’s Odoo implementation delivered measurable business value and positioned Hills Developments for sustainable success
By centralizing business functions under one unified ERP platform, TDS enabled Hills Developments to operate with greater efficiency, transparency, and agility — reinforcing its leadership in Egypt’s real estate sector.
