Connected for Growth: How 888 Mobile Store Transformed Retail with Edara?

In a fast-moving industry like mobile retail, expanding branches alone isn’t enough. The real game-changer is having full visibility—sales, stock, finances—across every location.

That’s when “888 Mobile Store” realized the next step wasn’t opening another branch, but adopting a system that connects operations, unifies insights, and fits the pace of their business.

And that’s where their journey with “Edara” began.

Niche Focus, Rapid Growth

“888 Mobile Store” specializes in selling mobile phones and accessories, serving a wide customer base across multiple branches in Egypt.

With a dynamic product range, fast stock movement, and diverse sales channels, the business needed tighter operational control.

Founder Eng. Ahmed Abdel Aziz began searching for a flexible, proven solution—one trusted within the same market. His decision was shaped by real success stories from similar businesses already using “Edara”.

Running Without Visibility: The Hidden Cost of Growth

While “888 Mobile Store” managed daily sales efficiently across its branches, the lack of a centralized system left major gaps.

There was no clear way to track stock movement, view real-time sales or profit reports, or make fast, informed decisions.

With a non-cloud system, data stayed fragmented, reporting was manual, and follow-up was slow.

As the business grew, a real change became not just necessary—but urgent.

One System for All Branches

From day one with “Edara”, 888 Mobile Store’s branches began operating as one unified entity.

Stock, accounting, and customer data were all connected through a centralized system—enabling real-time tracking with consistent accuracy across every location.

Stock levels, daily sales, and performance insights became instantly accessible.

Instead of scattered tools and disconnected spreadsheets, operations were streamlined into a single, cohesive workflow.

When Your System Understands Your Industry

In a market where tracking every sold item is crucial, 888 Mobile Store needed more than just an accounting tool—they needed a system tailored to the complexities of mobile and accessory sales.

With “Edara”, serial number tracking became a core part of the sales process, ensuring accurate stock visibility and reducing delivery or return errors.

The purchasing cycle was optimized for import operations, with shipping, customs, and related costs automatically allocated to each product—giving clear insight into true item costs.

Accurate branch-level stock reports also empowered the team to monitor fast-moving items and set timely reorder points, eliminating guesswork.

Visa Payment Fees: A Small Detail That Made a Big Difference

In retail—especially with varied payment methods—Visa transaction fees can significantly impact bank reconciliation accuracy. For 888 Mobile Store, where card payments are part of daily operations, this detail had a clear financial impact.

With “Edara”, specific fee rates can be assigned to each bank account, along with the party responsible for covering them—whether the business or the customer. Fees are calculated automatically during collection and reflected instantly in reports, with no manual input required.

This level of precision in tracking electronic payment expenses helped maintain clear accounting records and simplified financial reviews, eliminating room for error or guesswork.

Edara: A System That Evolves Before You Need It

888 Mobile Store’s journey with “Edara” has been more than just long-term ERP usage—it’s been an ongoing partnership built on a deep understanding of the business and its evolving needs.

Rarely did the team need to request new features; the system often delivered what was needed before challenges even emerged.

From sales and stock to granular details like stocktaking and card fees, “Edara” offered ready-made, well-designed solutions backed by proven industry experience.

Years later, the company continues to run confidently on the same system—no overhauls, no disruption—just seamless growth supported by Edara’s flexibility and foresight.

Summary

The shift “888 Mobile Store” made wasn’t just technical—it was a mindset transformation.

From isolated branches to a unified, centralized system, and from manual reviews to real-time insights, everything became clearer, faster, and more accessible.

With “Edara”, growth stopped being a challenge—and turned into a confident, strategic opportunity.
