eBee Africa is a pioneering company in the e-mobility sector, dedicated to transforming last-mile logistics in Kenya. With a vision to reduce congestion and pollution in urban areas, eBee introduced affordable electric bikes (e-bikes) as a sustainable alternative for deliveries. From the beginning, eBee recognized the need for an efficient, integrated system to manage its operations, including inventory management, manufacturing, fleet tracking, and financial administration.

As a fast-growing startup, eBee faced several operational challenges. Managing a fleet of e-bikes required real-time tracking, seamless inventory control, and automated financial processes. Additionally, their ambition to expand into Uganda and Rwanda meant they needed a scalable solution that could support geographical growth without complex system migrations. Another key challenge was ensuring smooth payroll processing for riders working across different platforms like Uber, Glovo, and Leta. eBee required a comprehensive ERP system that could centralize all these processes while remaining flexible to their evolving needs.

To overcome these challenges, eBee partnered with Advance Insight, a top Odoo implementation partner in Africa. With Odoo’s ERP solution, eBee successfully streamlined its operations: 

 Integrated Inventory & Manufacturing: eBee efficiently manages its e-bike components, production, and fleet tracking, ensuring seamless supply chain operations. 

 Automated Payroll System: A custom payout system allows riders to track earnings, request repairs, and receive payments directly through Odoo, eliminating the need for external payment processors. 

 Scalability & Expansion: Odoo enabled eBee to expand into Uganda with minimal effort—simply cloning their database to replicate operations. 

 Cost Savings & Efficiency: By automating processes like salary payments and fleet tracking, eBee achieved significant cost savings and operational efficiency, reducing manual intervention and third-party dependencies.

Thanks to Odoo’s capabilities and Advance Insight’s expertise, eBee continues its mission of creating thousands of green jobs and building cleaner, congestion-free cities across East Africa.
