Short answer: Timsoll is one of Uzbekistan's largest suppliers of spare parts for locally made cars, with more than 15 years in business, 18+ branches and over 7,000 SKUs. Deep Vision moved the company onto Odoo ERP in stages: first the warehouse (ABC analysis, faster and error-proof order picking), then purchasing and cash-flow analytics, B2B customer channels and sales. In the video, founder Abduhakim Abdurahmonov describes the results himself: in his words, launching new products went from 6–8 months to 2–3 days, and the profit or loss of every outlet is now clearly visible.
If you are weighing up an ERP system, a business owner who has already been through it is more convincing than any vendor's slide deck. For a trading company with many branches and thousands of items the questions are concrete: where do you start fixing the warehouse, how do you free up cash tied up in stock, and when can you stop retyping wholesale orders from Telegram?
This companion to the video interview with Timsoll's founder covers its key facts, the four project stages and what Odoo typically does at each one. Figures about Timsoll come from the founder and the project description; notes on Odoo are general, not a description of Timsoll's setup. The full case study is here: Timsoll's Experience: How Odoo ERP Manages 7,000+ SKUs.
What does Timsoll's founder talk about in the video?
In the video, Abduhakim Abdurahmonov explains in his own words why the company moved to Odoo ERP, what held it back and what it achieved with Deep Vision. The key points:
- The company. Timsoll has sold spare parts for Uzbek-made cars for 15+ years. It started with three branches in Namangan, Andijan and Fergana and now has 18+ branches in 18 cities, a central warehouse, a distribution hub and 7,000+ SKUs.
- The problem before Odoo. Not enough information for the right decisions, so they often relied on guesswork.
- Why Odoo. Flexibility first, since processes must be reconfigured quickly as the business changes; second, running every future branch in one system.
- The results. Sales, warehouse and other figures are visible in real time. Every item automatically gets a code and its own storage bin, so launching 2,000–3,000 new SKUs takes 2–3 days instead of 6–8 months. Management sees whether each outlet makes a profit or a loss; the next step is profitability per product.
"With Odoo we can now clearly see the profit and loss of each outlet… Now you make well-grounded decisions."
— Abduhakim Abdurahmonov, founder of Timsoll.
At the end of the conversation he thanks the Odoo and Deep Vision teams for the partnership.
What stages did the Timsoll project go through?
The project ran in stages, each business process digitalised and optimised as a separate block of work:
- Warehouse systematisation: digitalisation, ABC analysis, faster order picking and protection against errors.
- Purchasing digitalisation: speeding up cash flow through analytics.
- Automation of B2B customer channels.
- Sales process optimisation.
Other processes were covered as well.
The logic of this order is general practice, not a claim about Timsoll: purchasing analytics can only be trusted when stock is accurate, and B2B channels and sales need correct stock and prices. That is why many trading companies start ERP with the warehouse, and each stage builds on the data of the one before.
How do you organise a warehouse: ABC analysis and order picking
ABC analysis splits products into three groups by their share of sales or stock value: A for the key items, B for the middle, C for the least important. Typically group A is a small part of the range (often 10–20% of items) that brings most of the sales or value (roughly 70–80%).
In an ERP system a warehouse is usually organised like this (general description):
- An address for every item. Zones, racks and bins; on receipt, the system says where each item goes.
- Placement by ABC class. Fast A items sit near the picking area, slow C items further away.
- Pick lists. Sorted by bin location, so the picker does not criss-cross the warehouse; several orders can be picked in one pass.
- Scanner checks. Item and bin barcodes are scanned, and a wrong part or quantity triggers a warning. With look-alike spare parts this matters a lot.
- Regular cycle counts. A items are counted often, C items less often, with no need to shut the warehouse.
In Odoo this is the Inventory app: warehouses, bins, putaway rules and transfers. More detail: Odoo Inventory: digital warehouse management. General rules: How to keep inventory records.
How does digitalising purchasing speed up cash flow?
In a trading company most of the money sits in stock, so purchasing decisions directly shape cash flow. Overbuy a slow item and cash is frozen for months; underbuy a fast one and the customer goes elsewhere.
Once purchasing is digitalised, this usually changes (general description):
- Purchases are based on data. Sales history, stock and incoming goods per SKU in one place.
- Minimum and maximum stock rules. When stock falls below the threshold, the system proposes a purchase for the buyer to confirm.
- ABC feeds into purchasing. Group A is guarded against stockouts, group C against excess.
- Suppliers can be compared. Prices, lead times and payment terms are on record.
- A slow-movers report. Items sitting too long can be turned back into cash through discounts or transfers between branches.
In Odoo, the Purchase and Inventory apps do this together. The full chain: Odoo Sales and Purchase.
How do you automate B2B customer channels?
A B2B channel is how a wholesale customer (a shop, a garage, a dealer) orders and sees its prices and balance: via a sales rep, the phone, Telegram or an online portal. In spare parts such customers order often and in small quantities, so retyping orders by hand guarantees errors and delays.
How Timsoll's B2B channels are set up is not described here in detail. In general, Odoo automates wholesale work like this:
- Pricelists per customer group. A wholesale customer automatically gets its own price.
- Customer portal or B2B online store. The customer sees its prices, places orders and tracks status, invoices and payments.
- Credit limits and receivables control. The system warns before shipping to a customer over its limit.
- Integrations. Orders from a Telegram bot or other systems flow into the ERP, and e-invoices go out via Didox. More: E-invoicing: Didox, Soliq and ERP integration.
For distributors: Odoo ERP for wholesale trade.
How do you optimise the sales process?
Optimising sales means a shorter path from order to payment, control over prices and discounts, and every branch's and sales rep's results in numbers. According to the founder, Timsoll now sees sales and warehouse figures in real time and each outlet's profit or loss precisely.
In Odoo this is usually built as follows:
- a branch salesperson sees stock in other branches and the central warehouse without phoning around;
- discounts follow rules and pricelists, with large ones under a manager's control (an approval step can be added);
- sales, cost of goods and expenses are assigned to branches, so the P&L report builds itself;
- management sees reports by rep, branch and product group without waiting for month end.
Which metrics to track: Sales team KPIs and sales reports.
Is Timsoll's path right for you? A checklist
If several of these sound familiar, Timsoll's route is worth a look:
- storekeepers waste time looking for items, and there is no bin system;
- the wrong part or quantity regularly ends up in picked orders;
- ABC analysis has never been done, or is done once a year in Excel;
- purchasing follows the "we bought this much last time" rule;
- large sums are tied up in slow-moving stock;
- wholesale orders arrive on Telegram and get retyped by hand;
- you cannot say which branch makes money and which loses it;
- you plan to open new branches.
How can Deep Vision help?
Deep Vision is an official Odoo Gold Partner in Tashkent, and the Timsoll project was ours. We have 7 certified Odoo specialists and 26 client projects listed in the odoo.com partner directory (partner page).
We usually start with a diagnostic to find the process that costs you the most time and money, then agree the order of stages together; as at Timsoll, each stage ends with its own result. We have ready-made modules for Didox e-invoicing and Asl Belgisi marking (if your goods require marking). A project usually takes 2–6 months; standard Sales and Inventory often go live in 6–8 weeks. We do not promise results in advance, because every company starts from a different place.

Every item has a bin, the system builds the pick list, and a barcode scan flags any wrong part or quantity.
How long does it take to add new products?
According to the founder, launching 2,000–3,000 new SKUs took 6–8 months before Odoo and takes 2–3 days now, because every item automatically gets a code and a bin.
