Overview

Gahez Market is one of Egypt's fastest-growing B2B fashion wholesale platforms, connecting retailers with manufacturers and suppliers across categories including ready-made garments, footwear, accessories, and bags.

Operating in a traditionally fragmented and credit-driven market, Gahez combines online purchasing with an offline telesales and agent-driven model—both unified under a single system.

To support rapid scale, the platform was rebuilt using a custom Shopify storefront integrated with Zoho One, creating a centralized ecosystem for operations, finance, inventory, and commissions.

The Challenge

As Gahez scaled, its legacy systems began limiting growth. Multiple disconnected tools were used for key operations, creating fragmentation and risk.

Fragmented Operations

Multiple disconnected tools were used across the business, leading to operational inefficiencies and risk:

  • Online orders managed separately
  • Agent/telesales orders in different system
  • Inventory management siloed
  • Financial tracking fragmented
  • Manual commission calculations

Missing B2B Capabilities

Standard e-commerce platforms failed to support critical B2B requirements needed for the wholesale market:

  • Credit-based purchasing (30/60/90 day terms)
  • Automated surcharge handling
  • Multi-level commission with recovery logic
  • Multi-supplier & multi-warehouse inventory
  • Unified reporting across all channels

The business struggled with manual reconciliation, limited visibility, and scalability constraints in a highly competitive market.

Our Solution

A dual-layer architecture was implemented to unify all operations and enable scalable growth.

Shopify Commerce Layer

A fully customized Shopify storefront was developed to handle both customer-facing and internal sales operations. Key capabilities included:

1 Bilingual experience (Arabic / English) with dynamic content switching
2 Custom homepage with flexible, client-editable sections
3 Agent-driven draft order creation directly from admin
4 OTP-based secure login system
5 Advanced affiliate and commission tracking system

Outcome: The storefront was optimized for both self-service buyers and internal sales teams, ensuring a seamless hybrid experience.

Zoho One ERP Layer

Zoho One was implemented as the central operational backbone.

Zoho CRM

  • Agent management and merchant onboarding
  • Lead tracking and ownership mapping

Zoho Books

  • Credit limits and payment terms enforcement
  • Automated invoicing and surcharge logic
  • Commission calculations and return clawbacks

Zoho Inventory

  • Multi-warehouse and multi-supplier stock management
  • Purchase and fulfillment workflows

Zoho Analytics

  • Real-time dashboards across sales, commissions, and financials

Zoho Flow

  • Automation engine for complex business rules

Real-Time System Integration

A bi-directional integration between Shopify and Zoho ensures data consistency across all operations:

  • Inventory sync from Zoho to Shopify to prevent overselling
  • Order and fulfillment data synced in real time
  • Automated financial and commission processing post-order

Outcome: This created a single source of truth across the organization.
