The client & the challenge
Start with the business.
Awqaf Saleh Al Rajhi manages endowment activities across real estate, agriculture and investments in Saudi Arabia. Coordinating these activities requires visibility into both transactions and the assets and activities behind them.
The financial design needed to distinguish accounting structure from operational detail. Property, unit and compound information had to remain available for analysis without making the general ledger unnecessarily complex. Procurement also required a clear route from an internal need through stock checks, sourcing, approvals and receipt.

The TDS approach
TDS’s Saudi team, TDS Saudi Arabia (DIS), worked on a phased transformation rather than treating the institution as a single generic company. Purchasing, inventory and agricultural sales entered operation in the first phase. The accounting design separated detailed property and activity analysis from the chart of accounts, with customer and tenant records treated as business contacts.
Business value first
What the design makes possible
Procurement accountability
The documented workflow connects requests, stock availability, sourcing, budget review and approvals. This provides a structured basis for following how a purchase requirement becomes a commitment.
A clearer financial model
Separating general-ledger accounts from property and activity dimensions supports detailed analysis without requiring every operational detail to become another ledger account.
A practical adoption path
Phased deployment allows operational teams to work with core capabilities while the wider transformation develops. Later finance-support records confirm an existing Odoo financial environment.
Purchasing, inventory and agricultural sales are documented as launched in the first phase. September 2026 records confirm an existing Odoo finance system. This story describes those foundations and the documented control design; it does not represent every phase of the wider programme as completed.
