The customer success story of Mr Green Africa
" The things that come to mind when I think of Advance Insight are the quality of their work, their reliability, and the open conversations that you can have with them. They’re straightforward, which I really appreciate. "
Mr Green Africa trades recyclable materials and reimagines plastic. No waste, but value! This trade does not only create jobs with fair wages for plastic waste suppliers but also gives plastic waste a new purpose. Recycling over 4000 tonnes of plastic annually, the waste-pickers who collect it can earn a decent living and improve their livelihoods. In 10 years, Mr Green Africa aspires to have redefined the social impact of recycling across the entire Global South.
Mr Green Africa had multiple systems running at the same time, all handling different departments. The lack of communication between the systems and the manual entering of data made the processes less efficient and trustworthy. To manage and streamline operations in an emerging market context, you need smart, integrated, and user-friendly technology. Where to start?
" Odoo and Advance Insight have been the perfect partners for our business. With their help, we have been able to automate our processes and make them scalable, allowing us to bring waste pickers to living rates and reduce plastic waste. The flexibility and functionality of the system have allowed us to process larger batches and source more intelligently. With real-time data and traceability, we can manage our records, report our financial performance, and pay our suppliers efficiently. Our strong tech platform has enabled us to scale quickly, and we are confident that Advance Insight will continue to help us make the right decisions in our scale-up and our growth. "
We untangled the digital transformation of Mr Green Africa by helping them set up their Odoo platform, streamline, and optimise all processes. Think of sourcing, financial payments, HR, and quality control. Odoo is used for every department across the entire value chain, ensuring that all interactions are efficient and effective. By making real-time access to data possible, Mr Green Africa now has access to up-to-date information at all times.
" I've always appreciated how Advance and their team embrace change and enjoy a good challenge, especially in a complex business like ours. I think they're extremely innovative in the solutions they bring, which is a great experience for me as the operations manager. The team of Advance Insight is always readily available, and they are not afraid to change things. They teach us how to go further and further, and sometimes they come up with solutions for a problem we didn't even know we had.
Next to being proactive, Advance is honest and realistic about what they can or cannot deliver and the costs, which is crucial for us operationally. They help us see loopholes in the process and navigate the system efficiently. If you're looking for a partner to guide you through an open-source system and help you avoid costly mistakes, I would recommend working with Advance. They've been an excellent partner for us, allowing us to scale and grow much faster than if we were doing this alone "
