Thompson Associates (Pvt) Ltd (TAL Group) has officially commenced its Odoo ERP implementation in partnership with PBSS SMB Solutions, the SMB arm of PBSS Group.

As one of Sri Lanka’s pioneering advertising groups, TAL is among the first full-fledged agencies in the industry to embrace Odoo ERP across five legal entities. The implementation will centralize operations, bringing together everything from media buying and creative services to production under one unified system.

This forward-thinking move will streamline core business functions such as accounting, sales, inventory, purchasing, and approvals, enabling greater efficiency and transparency. More importantly, it provides TAL with a strong, scalable digital backbone to support future growth and innovation.

Founded in 1971 as Thompson Associates (Ceylon) Ltd., the TAL Group has grown into a leading communications powerhouse. The group is home to TBWA\Sri Lanka, its creative agency rooted in the global Disruption® philosophy, TBWA\Digital, which empowers brands to connect directly with consumers on digital platforms, and Tequila, a specialist activation agency that drives ground-level engagement.

The project kickoff brought together key stakeholders from both TAL and PBSS, underscoring the significance of this partnership and the shared commitment to transformation. Together, we look forward to a future where legacy meets innovation and creativity thrives on a stronger operational foundation.

At PBSS Group, we have spent over two decades enabling SMBs and SMEs across Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Dubai with ERP solutions that deliver measurable outcomes. This partnership with TAL Group reinforces our commitment to helping businesses simplify, integrate, and grow with the right technology at the right time.
