/ About the client

Children's Hospital

Founded in 2006, the Zambia-based hospital is a pivotal member of a global nonprofit network of eight hospitals. The institutions provide surgical care in a compassionate, mission-driven environment, and the Zambia branch runs over 3,000 life-changing surgeries a year, addressing treatable disabilities in children through reconstructive, orthopedic, ENT, and audiological procedures.

The network relied on diverse systems that complicated management, so Brainvire consolidated operations on Odoo. Inventory, procurement, accounting, and HRMS now run in one integrated platform, sharpening efficiency and giving the organization a single, cohesive way to manage its work across countries and currencies.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01System

Operations, unified

Diverse systems slowed the team, so Odoo became the central system that interconnects accounting, asset management, employee expenses, hospital advances, and wire-transfer payments.

/02Requisition

Materials, approved

Material requisition and stock consumption were hard to control, so a streamlined requisition process with approvals and department-specific consumption keeps stock in check.

/03Global

Currencies, managed

A cross-country knowledge gap hampered operations, so process mapping and gap analysis enabled efficient multi-company and multi-currency management with minimal customization.

/04Accounting

Funds, tracked

Disparate platforms complicated finance, so Odoo accounting handles bills, invoices, budgeting, and assets, and a custom wire-transfer process moves funds between hospitals within budget.

System diversification

Diverse systems complicated efficient operations management. The team implemented Odoo as a centralized system that interconnects and manages every business operation in one place, streamlining accounting, asset management, employee expenses, hospital advances, and wire-transfer payments.

Material requisition

Material requisition and stock consumption were hard to manage. The team built a streamlined requisition process with approval features, paired with department-specific stock consumption for efficiency.

Global system knowledge gap

A lack of cross-country system understanding hampered operations. The team mapped processes and ran a gap analysis to optimize system use with minimal customization, achieving efficient multi-company and multi-currency management.

Integrated accounting

Disparate platforms complicated accounting, asset, and expense management. The team implemented Odoo accounting for bills, invoices, budgeting, and asset tracking, used the expense module with approval flows, and built a custom wire-transfer process for fund transfers among hospitals.
