Retail technology in the MENA region has evolved rapidly over the past decade.

Demand planning software has become essential for businesses seeking to optimize their supply chain operations. The market was valued at USD 8.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 15.58 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.5%.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have revolutionised the way businesses manage their operations. With a centralised platform, companies can integrate various processes such as finance, procurement, inventory management, and customer relationship management (CRM) to improve efficiency and decision-making.

In today’s competitive business environment, companies must choose between an all-in-one Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and best-of-breed solutions such as Order Management Systems (OMS), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and Transportation Management Systems (TMS). This decision significantly impacts operational efficiency, scalability, and costs.

In the fast-evolving digital ecosystem, generic systems no longer cut it. Businesses, especially those operating in niche sectors like health services, logistics, or regional fulfilment in the MENA region, require more than out-of-the-box ERP modules. They need agility. They need specificity. And most importantly, they need control.

One of the most potent ways businesses can ensure this visibility is by integrating ERP systems with inventory accounting functions. This blog explores how such an integration enables seamless tracking of the cost of goods sold (COGS), overheads, and overall profitability.
