About Slate Film Services

Slate Film Services is a leading provider in the film production industry, delivering world-class equipment and operational support to local and international film projects. Their portfolio includes work on blockbuster hits such as Star Wars, Dune, Messiah, and many other award-winning productions.

With such high-profile projects, efficiency and accuracy are critical — but before Odoo, Slate Film Services struggled with fully manual processes.

The Challenge: Manual Processes & Disconnected Departments

Before implementing Odoo, Slate Film Services relied on email, phone calls, and even WhatsApp messages to manage operations.

• Sales orders were created manually and passed to the warehouse.
• Communication between departments was inconsistent.
• Accounting, fleet management, and inventory all operated in silos.

Sami Haddad, Sales and Operations Manager, recalls:

“When I used to create sales orders manually, it was hectic and required a lot of checks. I had to call all the different departments to make sure everything was okay.”

This manual workflow was not only time-consuming but also left room for costly errors — a serious risk for a company handling multi-million-dollar film projects.

The Solution: One Seamless Platform

With Odoo, Slate Film Services transformed the way its teams work. Integration became the cornerstone of their operations:

• Sales to Warehouse: When a rental sales order is created and confirmed, it automatically reaches the warehouse for equipment preparation.
• Sales to Accounting: The same order instantly syncs with accounting for invoicing and tracking.
• Fleet Management: Logistics and equipment transportation are integrated into the same workflow.
• Client Experience: Contracts are sent and signed directly through Odoo, reducing turnaround time and boosting professionalism.

“Now, with Odoo, once I confirm the sales order, it goes directly to accounting, warehouse, and fleet. Everything became the press of a button. That’s something beautiful.”

Customization for a Rental Business

Odoo’s flexibility also allowed Slate Film Services to tailor the system to their unique needs as a rental house:

• Barcode Integration: Scanning an item instantly shows its components and details.
• Catalog & Pricing: Rental items have pre-set prices, automatically populated when creating a sales order.
• Website Integration: All inventory is linked to their website for a seamless digital presence.

This level of customization ensured that Slate Film Services didn’t just adopt an ERP system — they built a solution that truly fit their industry.

The Result: Odoo as “The Future”

For Slate Film Services, Odoo didn’t just improve operations — it redefined them.

“If I were to describe Odoo in one word, I would say ‘the future.’”

By moving away from manual processes and embracing seamless integration, Slate Film Services can now focus on what they do best: supporting award-winning film productions with precision and excellence.
