How Alam AlMathaqat Unified Multi-Branch Food Operations and Procurement with Business Central
At-a-Glance
Alam AlMathaqat — premier Saudi Arabian food and beverage organization operating an expanding network of retail food outlets and commercial kitchens.
CHALLENGE:
Lacked a consolidated financial view connecting head office operations with individual branch locations. Raw material and ingredient procurement was inefficient across branches, and multi-branch revenue could not be aggregated in real time.
SOLUTION:
Intelegain implemented Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to unify transactional and financial data, configured supply chain and warehouse modules to align inventory allocation with branch demand, and established unified sales reporting.
RESULTS:
Connected all branch operations to central headquarters, optimized raw material supply allocation, eliminated ingredient wastage, and provided executive leadership with real-time multi-branch revenue tracking.
The Challenge: Operational Blind Spots Across an Expanding Branch Network
Alam AlMathaqat operates in Saudi Arabia’s dynamic food and beverage industry, managing a growing footprint of popular culinary outlets and central production kitchens. In perishable food operations, fresh ingredient supply and precise branch inventory allocation are critical to maintaining food quality and operating margins.
However, as Alam AlMathaqat expanded, managing multi-branch operations through disconnected software created severe coordination hurdles. Head office finance had no real-time visibility into branch-level cash registers, daily receipts, or localized ingredient usage.
Branch managers placed replenishment orders for meat, dairy, and produce based on intuition rather than consumption data. Central commissary kitchens struggled to balance bulk procurement against branch demand, resulting in costly ingredient over-purchasing at some locations while others experienced stockouts during peak dinner rushes.
No consolidated financial view connecting head office accounting with individual retail branch locations.
Inefficient procurement and allocation of raw materials and ingredients across branch kitchens.
Inability to aggregate multi-branch revenue, daily sales receipts, and margins in real time.
Perishable food inventory wastage caused by uncoordinated branch replenishment requests.
Why Intelegain Was Chosen
Alam AlMathaqat chose Intelegain due to our deep multi-location food and beverage ERP expertise and proven ability to deploy standard, high-performance Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environments.
Implementation: The Intelegain Approach
The multi-branch ERP transformation was deployed across three focused phases:
Phase 1: Branch Operational Audit & Centralized Data Modeling
Intelegain mapped Alam AlMathaqat’s food supply chain: central commissary kitchens, cold-storage warehouses, and retail branch locations. We structured a standardized chart of accounts and recipe ingredient bills of materials in Business Central.
Phase 2: Supply Chain & Procurement Configuration
We configured Business Central’s inventory, procurement, and warehouse modules. Automated replenishment rules were established, ensuring central purchasing aggregates raw material orders across all branches for bulk vendor discounts.
Phase 3: Branch Revenue Synchronization & Executive Go-Live
We established automated daily branch sales integration, rolling up daily point-of-sale receipts into Business Central general ledgers. Executive dashboards were deployed for real-time revenue tracking across all Saudi locations.
Measurable Results & Business Impact
Consolidation of branch operations and head office financials into one ERP
Reduction in perishable ingredient food waste across central kitchens
Company-wide sales and revenue reporting across all retail locations
Bulk raw material purchasing delivering substantial vendor cost savings
The Business Central implementation transformed operational coordination at Alam AlMathaqat. Head office and individual branches now operate from a synchronized, real-time command center. Commissary kitchens allocate fresh ingredients accurately based on actual branch demand, and leadership reviews company-wide sales performance every evening, driving profitable nationwide expansion.
