Operating primarily in the SADC Region of Africa, including Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia, with their base in Kyalami, Gauteng, South Africa, AFCOB offers a comprehensive range of services to support clients in navigating technical regulatory compliance and achieving international standards.

AFCOB specializes in International Type Approvals, offering guidance and assistance in obtaining the necessary certifications required to access various markets. Their team of experts provides Technical Regulatory Compliance Consulting, ensuring that clients' products meet the required industry standards and regulations. Additionally, AFCOB facilitates Product Testing and Certification, streamlining the process and helping businesses achieve compliance efficiently.

To efficiently manage their projects, clients, documentation, customer communication, and audit planning and scheduling, AFCOB relies on Odoo. With Odoo, AFCOB streamlines their internal communication processes, eliminating the need for extensive calls or emails across different departments. Odoo acts as a central hub, enabling smooth collaboration and enhancing operational efficiency.

AFCOB used to spend endless hours on creating documents to update their clients on the status of their projects, but with Odoo's customer portal and ability to share the project with the client, the client can see the live status of their project at any time they want.

AFCOB has international and national clients, each with a special pricelist in a different currency. Odoo helped AFCOB to have templates and pre-configured pricelists for each client, that saves a tremendous amount of time of manually searching for the correct pricelist and currency for the respective customer.

Projects are managed with stages and tasks, and it is very motivating to see the progress of all (or one) of the projects in the Kanban view that Odoo offers. This puts a smile on the faces of both the employees and customers of AFCOB (Pty) Ltd.
