Project Highlights

Company Overview

DEAL Group is one of the region's leading suppliers of industrial materials, specializing in the distribution of oil & gas pipes, fittings, valves, flanges, industrial equipment, and related products across the GCC and Egypt.

Operating through five legal entities, the Group serves major industrial, construction, energy, infrastructure, and oil & gas projects throughout the region.

With thousands of inventory items, multiple warehouses, and significant purchasing and sales activities across several companies, executive management required a centralized platform capable of providing complete visibility into business performance while maintaining operational control at every level.

To support its continued growth, DEAL Group partnered with ALLE TECH to implement SAP Business One together with advanced Microsoft Power BI Executive Dashboards, creating a single source of truth across the entire organization.

Business Challenges

As the business expanded across multiple companies and countries, executive management faced increasing challenges in obtaining timely, accurate, and consolidated business information.

Fragmented Business Visibility

Each company maintained its own operational data, making it difficult for management to obtain a unified view of the Group's overall performance.

Preparing consolidated reports required manual data collection from multiple systems and spreadsheets, delaying strategic decision-making.

Cash Flow Monitoring

Management lacked real-time visibility into group-wide cash flow, making treasury planning and financial forecasting more challenging.

Finance teams spent considerable time consolidating information before management could evaluate the organization's financial position.

Accounts Receivable & Payable Aging

Monitoring customer collections and supplier obligations across five companies was largely manual.

Executives required consolidated aging reports to:

• Improve collection performance

• Reduce overdue balances

• Monitor supplier payments

• Strengthen working capital management

Inventory Visibility

With inventory distributed across multiple companies and warehouses, management required complete visibility into:

• Current stock levels

• Inventory valuation

• Slow-moving items

• Non-moving inventory

• Inventory aging

• Stock availability across the Group

Without centralized reporting, inventory optimization was difficult.

Order Fulfilment Performance

Management lacked executive-level reporting that measured order fulfilment performance across all business units.

Questions such as:

• Which orders are delayed?

• What products are on backorder?

• Which customers are waiting for delivery?

• What is the fulfilment rate?

required manual analysis from multiple departments.

Procurement Planning

Purchasing teams required better visibility into:

• Reorder quantities

• Safety stock

• Supplier lead times

• Purchase commitments

• Stock replenishment priorities

Without predictive reporting, purchasing decisions relied heavily on experience rather than real-time data.

Executive Reporting

Senior management needed a single platform capable of delivering live business intelligence across all companies without waiting for manual monthly reports.

Business Transformation

This allows operational teams to respond more quickly and improve customer satisfaction.

Working Capital Control

Consolidated Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable aging dashboards enable management to closely monitor collections and payment obligations across all companies.

This has strengthened cash flow management and improved financial control throughout the Group.

Executive Decision Support

Interactive Power BI dashboards allow executives to drill down from high-level KPIs into individual companies, customers, products, warehouses, and transactions within seconds.

Management decisions are now supported by live operational intelligence rather than manually prepared spreadsheets.
