He has sat on the vendor side
As a strategic business advisor at Odoo he helped UAE and GCC companies choose and roll out their ERP. He knows what a demo leaves out, and what scope creep looks like before it starts.

Khalid Jijakli
He has seen data chaos from inside Odoo, Tamara and Paymob. Now he designs the systems that end it.
Khalid scopes Kaido engagements himself: how your business runs today, which platform fits, what it should cost and how to get there in phases. Years on the vendor and fintech side taught him where ERP projects go wrong, and every Kaido blueprint is built to avoid exactly that.

What Khalid brings to your project
He understands how money moves
At Tamara, Paymob and MyFatoorah he worked with merchants on payments and buy now, pay later. That shapes how he designs finance, invoicing and e-invoicing: where cash gets stuck and which numbers a CFO actually needs.
An engineer's view of operations
Industrial engineering is the study of how work flows. Khalid maps your process, finds the manual steps and the double entry, and only then decides what the system should do.
AI and automation where it pays
He designs industry-specific ERP architecture with automation built into daily work: approvals, reconciliations and reports that run without someone copying data between tools.
Every growing company hits the same wall: data spread across spreadsheets, CRMs, accounting tools, custom apps and old systems. I started Kaido to turn that complexity into clarity, predictability and scale.
