Why “Tohama” Chose “Edara” as the Backbone of Its Growth?

The real challenge begins when your traditional system becomes the obstacle to growth.

This was exactly what Tohama—a security systems, networking, and audio solutions company with multiple branches, a diverse product range, and a rapid response to market needs—had to face.

Growth brought new hurdles: disconnected systems, scattered data, and limited visibility over sales and inventory.

The question wasn’t if change was needed, but how to restructure for expansion.

The answer: moving to a cloud ERP with “Edara” for centralized, real-time control.

Why Branch Expansion Demanded a New System for Tohama?

With every new branch Tohama opened, the gap widened between real-world demands and the capabilities of its traditional system. The desktop software, running each branch in isolation, couldn’t keep pace with such rapid growth and diversification.

The issue wasn’t data volume, but fragmentation—separate databases per branch, manual report consolidation, and off-system transactions. While growth required unified visibility and real-time branch connectivity, reality delivered duplicates, overlaps, and limited oversight.

Tohama realized expansion wasn’t just about adding branches, but building a new digital infrastructure. That’s when “Edara” emerged as the foundation for an integrated operational vision.

Every Product Has a Story: When Variety Demands True Control

At Tohama, product diversity wasn’t just a competitive edge—it was an operational challenge that demanded precise control. Surveillance cameras, networks, cables, audio systems, and storage devices—all different in nature, coding, and handling processes.

With such variety, manual tracking or limited systems couldn’t keep up. Each unit required serial-number tracking from purchase to delivery, while every import shipment demanded meticulous cost allocation for freight and customs—directly impacting pricing and profitability.

“Edara” made it possible to document every step—supplier dealings, goods receipt, and cost allocation—within a single system, eliminating external files or guesswork. This turned diversity from a source of complexity into a strength, managed with clarity and aligned with growth.

Seeing the Bigger Picture in Branch Stock Movements

At Tohama, transferring supplies between branches wasn’t just a routine logistical step—it was a key tool for smarter stock management.

With Edara’s ability to display the transfer value, Tohama could now track the exact financial worth of each transfer—whether from the main branch to another or between branches.

Previously, transfers showed only quantities, making it difficult to assess branch performance or optimize stock distribution.

Now, management can see the total value each branch receives, compare it to sales, and make informed stock rotation decisions—turning transfers into powerful financial indicators for better distribution and tighter inventory control.

Accounting Under Control: From Imports to Profits

In a business driven by imports and multiple suppliers, accounts shouldn’t just be numbers in spreadsheets—they should guide decision-making.

With “Edara”, Tohama integrated every financial detail into one system—from recording import costs to accurately allocating them to items and calculating final prices based on true costs.

Beyond cost tracking, it enabled profitability analysis and instant income statements for each branch, product, or sales channel.

The finance team could now see the full picture: where costs start, how they’re distributed, and the returns—all without external files or extra systems.

Summary

Sometimes, major transformations start with a simple decision—and that’s exactly what happened at Tohama.

What began as a move to replace its traditional desktop system and gain clearer visibility soon delivered connected branches, transparent inventory, real-time reports, and organized accounts.

“Edara” became not just a technical replacement, but the core of a smart, growth-ready operation.
