Elsewedy: Connected Maintenance

The implementation connects maintenance requests, service projects and inventory, replacing Excel as the main record for the delivered scope.

About Elsewedy Utilities

Elsewedy Utilities is an operational arm of Elsewedy Electric working in utility distribution and integrated facility management. Its wider services include operation and maintenance of technical systems for large organizations. Archer Solutions' project addressed a focused part of that business: technical-maintenance requests, service projects, helpdesk activity and inventory across one company and multiple projects.

Business Challenges

  • Excel-based coordination made it difficult to keep maintenance requests, project activity and material records together.
  • Helpdesk requests needed a clear connection to the maintenance and project work undertaken in response.
  • Inventory needed to be visible alongside technical service activity rather than remaining in a separate spreadsheet view.
  • A multi-project service organization needed consistent status and work records across its technical teams.

ERP Solution Delivered

Archer implemented Odoo for Elsewedy Utilities’ technical-maintenance scope, connecting Helpdesk, Maintenance, Service Projects and Inventory. Excel-based coordination was replaced with structured records for service requests, the work undertaken and the materials involved. A request retains its service-project context as teams review the maintenance activity required in response. Inventory information sits within the same operating environment, making it possible to relate material records to technical work. For an operation serving multiple projects, the shared system needs to preserve the identity of each assignment and its supporting records. The delivered scope gives technical teams that common operational view, bringing request handling, maintenance activity and material information together for their day-to-day service work.

Implementation Approach

Between February and July 2024, Archer moved the technical-maintenance scope from Excel-based coordination into Odoo. Analysis and tailored configuration connected requests, service projects and materials. Starting-data preparation, company-policy access, workflow validation, training and go-live support helped operational teams use the delivered scope.

01 Analysed the Excel-based request, project and material records to establish the boundaries of the technical-maintenance scope.
02 Configured and tailored Helpdesk, Maintenance, Service Projects and Inventory so requests, work and material records retained their operational context.
03 Configured user roles and access permissions in line with company policy and the responsibilities of the service teams.
04 Prepared and uploaded the approved service, project and inventory starting records needed for live operation.
05 Validated the service workflow and the links between requests, technical work, projects and material information.
06 Trained participating users on recording requests, managing service work and using the connected inventory information.
07 Completed implementation in July 2024 and provided go-live support as users began working in the new environment.

Results and Business Impact

Technical teams can follow helpdesk requests and the corresponding maintenance work within their service-project context.
Inventory information is available alongside technical service activity, rather than only in separate Excel trackers.
Multiple service projects share one operating environment while keeping individual work records distinguishable.
