Seaharvest — Oil & Gas Services, Unified on One Platform
Seaharvest is a leading Egyptian oil and gas services company and a member of the Afaq Holding Group — one of the foremost private sector groups serving the petroleum industry across Egypt and the MENA region. Established in 1999 and headquartered in Cairo, Seaharvest delivers specialized solutions across Asset Integrity Development, Production Solutions & Services, Drilling Solutions & Services, Sourcing & Procurement, and Tubulars & Special Steel, partnering with leading international manufacturers to bring advanced technologies to the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.
As Seaharvest's operations grew, its existing Microsoft Dynamics GP system became costly to license and difficult to customize, and it no longer gave the business the supply chain and logistics visibility it needed. Seaharvest partnered with Talents Digital Services (TDS) to migrate from Dynamics GP to a single, integrated Odoo ERP that unifies sales, procurement, inventory, finance, HR, and operations on one platform.
How Seaharvest brought its entire operation onto one Odoo platform—connecting sales, procurement, inventory, finance, and HR for end-to-end visibility from the office to the field.
The Challenge
- Rising Microsoft Dynamics GP license costs that became a growing financial burden.
- Limited customization in Dynamics GP, making it hard to tailor the system to Seaharvest's oilfield operations.
- Complex supply chain and logistics operations — sourcing, procurement, and distribution of specialized oilfield equipment and materials — that needed tighter control and clearer visibility.
- Limited management visibility, with no single source of truth to monitor:
- Supply chain status, procurement cycles, and deliveries
- Revenue, costs, and overall financial performance
- Supply chain status, procurement cycles, and deliveries
The Challenge
- Highly complex manufacturing environment with dynamic product dimensions (Width, Length, Thickness, Material Type).
- Continuously growing and non-static product tree.
- Make-To-Order operations—no production without confirmed sales orders.
- A single steel sheet could:
- Be split across multiple manufacturing orders
- Serve different customers
- Raw materials are purchased in bulk and used over long periods, creating a gap between the purchase date and the actual manufacturing date.
- Inability to allocate raw material cost fairly across multiple orders, calculate real production cost per job, and control WIP accurately.
- Previous Odoo implementation failed to handle manufacturing complexity, cost allocation, and production traceability.
The Solution
TDS migrated Seaharvest from Microsoft Dynamics GP to a single, integrated Odoo ERP—one connected platform built around its supply chain and day-to-day operations.
