Client Overview
Mohammed Naji Al-Anzi Contracting Est. is a first-class Saudi contractor delivering construction projects across the Kingdom, operating as a group alongside its sister company Protective Shields. Protective Shields provides security guard services to companies, commercial centers, and industrial facilities through branches in Riyadh, Jeddah, Jubail, and Dammam.
The group runs three distinct operations at once: construction contracting, transportation and logistics, and manned security services. Each carries its own workforce, cost structure, and client contracts across four regional locations.
The Business Challenge
Three business lines across four cities ran on separate systems, so the group could not see project costs, workforce location, or fleet activity in one place.
- Fragmented systems — contracting, logistics, and security operations each used their own records, with no shared source of truth.
- Workforce and fleet untracked across regions — staff deployment and vehicle movement were difficult to monitor across four branches.
- Limited project cost visibility — management could not assess project costs or operational performance reliably.
- Manual processes — administrative work ran by hand, producing inefficiencies and delays across all three sectors.
For a first-class contractor, project costing accuracy decides margin. For a security provider, knowing where every guard is deployed is the service itself. Neither was possible from fragmented records.
Project Objectives
- Centralize management of contracting and construction projects
- Track fleet and transportation for materials and workforce movement
- Manage workforce and security staff across multiple locations
- Integrate project costing, budgeting, and financial operations
- Monitor ongoing projects and service contracts in real time
- Build a customer and contract management system
- Control inventory and procurement for construction materials and equipment
- Automate invoicing, payroll, and financial reporting
- Coordinate operations between the Riyadh, Jeddah, Jubail, and Dammam branches
Our Solution
SK Technology implemented a comprehensive Odoo ERP tailored to the group's multi-sector operations. Eight functional areas share one database, so a project, the crew assigned to it, the vehicles moving its materials, and its costs all connect to the same records.
Module | What It Does | Benefit |
Project Management | End-to-end tracking of construction and service projects | Progress and status visible on every active project |
Fleet & Logistics | Monitoring of vehicles, routes, and transportation activities | Materials and workforce movement are planned, not improvised. |
HR & Workforce | Employee records, attendance, payroll, security staff deployment | Guards and crews are deployed and paid from one system. |
Accounting & Finance | Automated invoicing, expense tracking, financial reporting | Accurate costs and faster financial close |
CRM & Contract Management | Centralized customer database and contract lifecycle control | Contract terms, renewals, and client history in one place |
Inventory & Procurement | Materials, equipment, and supplier process handling | Site materials arrive without delaying construction. |
Multi-Branch Management | Integrated system connecting all regional branches | Riyadh, Jeddah, Jubail, and Dammam work from shared data. |
Reporting & Dashboards | Real-time insight into operations, costs, and performance | Leadership compares sectors and branches from one view. |
How the System Works
Client Contract (CRM & Contract Management)
↓
Project Created (construction project or security service contract)
↓
├── Workforce Assigned (HR crews, security staff, attendance)
├── Materials Required (Inventory & Procurement → Supplier)
└── Transport Scheduled (Fleet & Logistics vehicles, routes)
↓
Project Execution Monitored Across Branches (Multi-Branch)
↓
Costs Captured (accounting expenses, payroll, project costing)
↓
Automated Invoicing & Financial Reporting
↓
Dashboards → Project Progress, Costs, Performance
Every cost labor, materials, transport, and land is against the project that generated it, so margin is visible while work is still in progress.
Before vs After
Before | After |
Separate systems for contracting, logistics, and security | One integrated Odoo ERP across all sectors |
Workforce hard to track across regions | Centralized HR covering crews and security staff |
Fleet movement monitored informally | Vehicle, route, and transportation tracking |
Project costs are unclear. | Integrated project costing, budgeting, and reporting |
Manual administrative processes | Automated invoicing, payroll, and financial reporting |
Materials procurement is uncoordinated. | Controlled inventory and supplier processes |
Branches operating independently | Riyadh, Jeddah, Jubail, and Dammam connected. |
No real-time performance view | Live dashboards on operations, costs, and performance |
Results
- Improved coordination across contracting, logistics, and security services
- Enhanced visibility into project progress and financial performance
- Efficient workforce and fleet management across multiple cities
- Reduced manual workload and increased operational accuracy
- Scalable system supporting nationwide operations and future growth
The group now operates a fully integrated ERP, enabling streamlined operations, better control, and reliable service delivery across all business sectors.
No numerical metrics were provided, so results are stated qualitatively.
Business Value
Management compares three sectors and four branches from one dashboard instead of reconciling separate reports. Project teams track progress and costs while work is live. HR manages crews and security staff deployment across cities from a single record set. Finance runs invoicing and payroll automatically with accurate project costing. Clients receive consistent service delivery across every branch. The group holds infrastructure that scales to nationwide operations.
Key Takeaways
- Multi-sector groups need one system, because separate records make group-level performance impossible to assess.
- Project costing accuracy decides contractor margin, and it requires labor, materials, and transport costs landing in the same place.
- Workforce visibility is the core of a security business knowing who is deployed where is the service, not the admin.
- Multi-branch coordination fails on manual processes once operations span several cities.
- A unified platform supports expansion into new regions without rebuilding operational systems.
