From BOQ to Site handover
How an Omani electrical contractor runs end‑to‑end on Odoo 16 [ in just 2 months ]

ERP upgrade for AGAF

When AGAF, a leading electrical construction contractor in Oman, set out to modernize their operations, they needed more than just an ERP upgrade – they needed a digital backbone capable of managing everything from lead capture to site handover. 

With projects spanning complex phases, high material volumes and tight timelines, AGAF partnered with Pragmatic Techsoft to deliver a fully customized Odoo 16 implementation in record time – just two months.

The Client : AGAF Electrical Construction

Based in Oman, AGAF is a trusted name in electrical contracting. With 30–40 employees across engineering, procurement, sales, accounts and site management, they handle everything from infrastructure wiring to turnkey electrical installations.
Their hallmark is precision and timely delivery, but managing the moving parts across multiple sites had become increasingly difficult.

The Challenge

AGAF’s existing Odoo v13 setup couldn’t keep up with their growing demands :

• Manual BOQ creation slowed down estimation and quotation cycles.
• Procurement decisions lacked real-time vendor price comparisons.
• Project phases weren’t being tracked against actual performance.
• Inventory and material flows were tracked manually, leading to errors.
• No central role-based access for 10 departments created security and visibility gaps.
  

AGAF’s leadership wanted a single, integrated solution – from CRM to project handover – while ensuring ease of use and scalability.

Why Pragmatic Techsoft?

AGAF chose Pragmatic for their 16+ years of Odoo expertise, rapid delivery methodology and ability to create industry-specific customizations without core hacking.
The goal :

• Deliver a fully operational ERP in 60 days.
• Cover every function – sales, purchase, accounts, inventory, fleet, timesheets.

Ensure zero disruption to ongoing projects during the transition.

The solution : An end-to-end digital flow

1. CRM & Lead Management

AGAF’s sales team now captures leads directly into Odoo CRM, categorizes them and stores related project details – seamlessly feeding into estimation workflows.

2. BOQ Automation

Predefined BOQ templates allow engineers to generate accurate cost estimates automatically. Price calculations are rule-based, approvals are built-in, and quotations are generated with a single click.

3. Procurement with Vendor Price Comparison

Odoo’s Purchase module was customized for vendor benchmarking. The system now automatically suggests suppliers based on pricing and past performance.

4. Project Phasing with Planned vs Actual Tracking

Once a deal is confirmed, projects, sub-projects and phases are auto-created. Managers can track tasks, resources, and timelines against actual progress – allowing for proactive course corrections.

5. Inventory Automation

The system auto-generates :

• Material Requirement Specifications (MRS)
• Material Issue Vouchers (MIV)
• Picking lists & return processes

This drastically reduced manual errors and improved material accountability.

6. Fleet & Equipment Tracking

Fleet movements and equipment usage are logged in real-time, improving site readiness and asset management.

Results in Just 2 Months

• 100% Integrated ERP across sales, procurement, inventory, project, fleet and accounts.
• Estimation cycles cut by 50% thanks to BOQ automation.
• Procurement decision-making improved with vendor price comparison tools.
• Reduced material wastage and tighter stock control.
• Full security and compliance with role-based user access for 10 departments.

High adoption rate due to hands-on training and iterative demos.
