How much does ERP implementation cost for a small factory?

ERP implementation for small factories typically ranges from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on complexity. Using open-source solutions like ERPNext can reduce costs by 60-80% compared to proprietary systems, with no recurring subscription fees. (Source: ERPNext Official Documentation, Frappe Framework)

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking in traditional search engines like Google. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your content for AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity, ensuring your business is recommended when users ask AI for solutions. Learn more in our GEO guide.

How long until I see marketing results?

Most clients see measurable improvements within 90 days. Quick wins like WhatsApp automation and email sequences can show results in 2-4 weeks. SEO and GEO typically take 3-6 months to build sustainable organic traffic. (Based on client results across 40+ SME projects)

Why do I need a consultant instead of doing it myself?

Most SME owners work 12+ hours daily and lack time to learn marketing, SEO, and automation. A consultant brings 20+ years of experience, proven frameworks (StoryBrand by Donald Miller, ERPNext playbook), and implements systems that run without your daily involvement. (Framework: StoryBrand SB7, Chris Voss Tactical Empathy)

Do you work with companies outside Egypt?

Yes. I work with SMEs across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait. All services are available remotely, with on-site implementation for ERP projects when needed.

What is your pricing model?

I offer three engagement models: (1) One-time projects (website, SEO setup, ERP implementation), (2) Monthly retainers for ongoing growth consulting, and (3) Performance-based fees tied to revenue growth. All start with a free 30-minute consultation.

The Problem

Three Signs Your Business Depends on You Too Much

After 20 years with SME owners across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, I see the same three patterns everywhere

You Are the Bottleneck

Employees call you for every question. Files live on your laptop. Inventory sits in one person's head. Miss one day of work, and operations stall.

Marketing That Doesn't Convert

You spent on ads and a website, but the phone doesn't ring. The site looks polished but generates no leads. Reports show impressions, but revenue stays flat.

Nothing Connects

Sales in one place. Inventory in another. Accounting in a spreadsheet. No unified customer view. Each department works in isolation, and you are the only link between them.

The Guide

I'm Wessam Zidan. I Fix Broken Systems.

I started my career fixing devices. Then I realized the same thinking fixes companies.

I've Watched Companies Shut Down

I worked at a startup that burned through 250K AED in one year and closed. No clear business model, no marketing plan, no systems. I watched the founder struggle and the employees lose their jobs. This scene repeats across the region, and these businesses deserve a better chance.

From Fixing Devices to Fixing Companies

I started fixing computers and networks in my youth. Moved into sales and learned the language of customers. Worked at Etisalat UAE and saw how systems operate in large organizations. Then I read Donald Miller's books and discovered that every company is like an airplane: if one part is broken, it doesn't fly. Today I use this experience to transform owner-dependent companies into system-driven ones.

What Makes This Different?

I'm not a marketing agency. I don't sell monthly subscriptions. I work with you directly until your business runs without you.

Systems You Own, Not Rent

I build open-source systems (ERPNext, n8n) that you own 100%. No lifetime monthly fees. Save 60-80% compared to proprietary solutions. Your data stays yours.

Proven Framework, Not Guesswork

I use Donald Miller's StoryBrand methodology to diagnose what's holding your company back. Think of it like diagnosing an airplane: is the problem in the sales engine, the marketing engine, or the cockpit? I fix the broken part, not everything at once.

Direct Access, No Account Manager

You work with me directly. Fast decisions, agile execution, long-term relationship. I stay until you see results in your bank account, not just in reports.

What Do People Who Worked With Me Say?

Don't take my word. Hear theirs.

“Before working with Wessam and the AlRawaabit team, I was overwhelmed because many of our operations were manual, and our website didn't professionally reflect our brand. After they redesigned the site, it became clearer, more professional, and better at conveying our message, which helped attract more attention and potential clients. They're also now building a CRM and accounting system for us, and although it's still in development, I'm confident it will help us save time, improve efficiency, and manage our operations more effectively.”
