CDS Solutions has teamed up with Fincart.io in a move that could make life a lot easier for e‑commerce businesses relying on Odoo. The two companies announced a strategic partnership that will plug Fincart.io’s smart‑shipping technology straight into Odoo’s ecosystem, aiming to smooth out logistics headaches that many retailers in the region face on a daily basis.

I’ve seen plenty of startups around MENA wrestle with shipping integrations—sometimes it feels like a bit of a faff just to get orders delivered on time—so this kind of collaboration isn’t coming out of nowhere. CDS will now embed Fincart.io’s platform into Odoo’s e‑commerce modules, allowing merchants to automatically pick the best shipping provider for each order based on real‑time performance data. It sounds spot on for businesses trying to keep up with rising customer expectations.

According to Ramadan Khalil, CEO of CDS Solutions, the goal is not only to offer technical tools but also to help companies push towards full digital transformation. He described the partnership as a milestone that reinforces their presence in retail and e‑commerce, noting that AI‑powered features like intelligent address verification and automated carrier selection could help clients cut costs and speed up deliveries. And believe it or not, even a small boost in delivery accuracy can mean the difference between a loyal customer and one who jumps ship.

The timing makes sense when you look at the numbers. E‑commerce in the Middle East and North Africa has been on a sharp rise, valued at around USD 34.5 billion in 2024 and expected to reach USD 110 billion by 2025. Egypt alone crossed USD 6 billion last year, which definately puts extra pressure on logistics networks. Reports even suggest that 42% of businesses see last‑mile delivery as their biggest hurdle—no surprise there, really.

On the flip side, Fincart.io’s team seems equally enthusiastic. Its CEO, Mostafa El Masry, said their broader vision is to build a fully integrated operations platform that manages everything from shipping and cash‑collection to real‑time inventory updates and reconciliation. He highlighted that this integration with Odoo should help merchants improve delivery‑success rates while cutting down logistics costs. I reckon many sellers will welcome anything that trims those margins without sacrificing reliability.

At Arageek, whenever we chat with founders, we often hear how operational snags hold back growth more than the actual selling does. So partnerships like this one—practical, data‑driven and regionally grounded—might just give startups that extra push they need, even if the road ahead is still a bit bumpy.
