One platform for the whole business
SmartERP by Ashewa is a connected business platform — sales, purchasing, inventory, accounting, manufacturing, HR, projects and web on one set of records — built on Odoo 17 and implemented, supported and extended by Ashewa Technology Solutions S.C. in Addis Ababa.
Why one platform
Departments stop working in separate silos
A quotation becomes a delivery, an invoice and a ledger entry without re-typing. Single source of operational truth for directors and staff.
Connected operations
Sales, stock, purchasing, accounting, HR and projects share one set of records with zero duplicate data entry.
Management visibility
Real-time P&L, balance sheet, inventory valuation, and cash flow across branches and warehouses instantly.
Modular growth
Start with core accounting and sales today, and seamlessly activate inventory, manufacturing, or payroll as you expand.
Extensible & Local
Custom workflows, Telebirr/CBE bank payment integration, and tailored Ethiopian regulatory reporting.
