| Jambo Group of Companies | Food & Beverage Manufacturing | Tanzania | 5 to 6 Weeks |
The Challenge
Jambo Group began in 1998 as a cotton trading venture. Today it spans beverages, packaged foods, logistics, petroleum distribution, packaging and media, with a workforce in the thousands.
At that scale, manual stock tracking could not keep up:
- Stock levels for raw materials, consumables and finished goods were hard to confirm in real time.
- Reviewing movements across hundreds of SKUs meant slow, error-prone manual reports.
- Raw material consumption could not easily be matched against production output.
- Managers lacked a simple view of key numbers without digging through transactional screens.
The Solution
Digital Hut Africa implemented Odoo Enterprise using standard modules, configured around Jambo's operations: Purchase, Inventory, Manufacturing (MRP), Sales & Invoicing, Accounting, and Dashboards.
- Live inventory: opening balances, receipts, consumption, transfers and closing balances, all in one place.
- Production control: Bills of Materials, manufacturing orders, output recording and scrap reporting.
- SKU-level reporting: stock movement reports per product, ready for audits.
- Manager dashboards: read-only, tablet-friendly KPI views for directors.
- Governance: user access controls and a full audit trail.
How We Delivered
- Discovery & System Design (1 week): mapped the purchase to inventory to manufacturing to sale flow.
- Core Configuration (2 weeks): set up modules, products, BoMs, warehouses and dashboards.
- Testing & Data Preparation (1 to 2 weeks): user acceptance testing, data import and training.
- Go-Live & Stabilisation (1 week): launch, first-transaction support and sign-off.
The Results
- One live view of raw materials, consumables and finished goods, replacing manual stock reports.
- Raw material consumption tracked against production output on every manufacturing order.
- Directors follow key numbers on tablet dashboards, without touching transactional screens.
- A full audit trail on every stock movement, ready for audits.
