OLS ERP

// the case study


OLS ERP key art

Enterprise ERP serving 10,000+ users across Kuwait. Built during my Foundation Arc at OLS.

// the brief

Multi-tenant ERP serving 10,000+ concurrent users across 25+ corporations in Kuwait. Modules for finance, inventory, HR, reporting. The system that taught me what 'production scale' actually means — and where I learned to make slow things fast.

// the wins

  • Cut application load time by 92% — from 40s to 3s — for 10,000+ concurrent users
  • Reduced report generation by 95% (from 30s to under 2s) by rewriting 50+ SQL stored procedures
  • Cleared 100+ tickets weekly through a critical staffing shortage
  • Three years of production duty across 25+ corporations — the Foundation Arc

01 // the origin

Kuwait, 2021. The first place that paid me to build for real — and expected it to stay up. Multi-tenant ERP means every mistake ships to thousands of users at once. You learn fast or you stop getting deploys.

02 // the numbers

The legacy frontend took 40 seconds to load. Re-architecting the modules and the data fetching brought it to 3 — a 92% cut felt by 10,000+ concurrent users across 25+ corporations. Then the reports: 50+ stored procedures rewritten, 30 seconds down to under 2.

03 // the lesson

'Works on my machine' died here. Migrations, backwards compatibility, tenant isolation, reports that must balance to the fils. Everything since is built on this arc.
