ERP that fits how manufacturers and wholesalers actually work.
We implement and run iDempiere, an open-source ERP system that handles orders, purchasing, inventory and production in one place, with no per-user licence fees.
Two iDempiere core committers
Carlos Ruiz and Diego Ruiz contribute to iDempiere's development as core committers. Together they have made nearly 6,000 commits to the project.

30+ years of combined experience
in enterprise software, across the team.
No lock-in
Several of our clients came to us after a previous implementer tried to lock them in. We work the other way round:
- You own the source code, the data and the documentation of your system.
- We build on standard iDempiere and add no proprietary layers you couldn't take to another provider.
- If you decide to leave us, we help you hand over.
What we do
Implementation
We map how your business actually works onto iDempiere and configure the system around it.
Support
Maintenance and troubleshooting for running systems, so problems are fixed before they hold up your operations.
Tuning
Performance work on existing iDempiere installations. We make them faster, lighter on resources and more reliable.
Consulting
Process design and ERP decisions, based on hands-on implementation experience.
Training
For users and administrators, from daily operation to system administration.
Custom development
When you need a specific tool quickly, we build a small, focused application in days.
Cloud or on-site?
We can run iDempiere for you as a fully managed service, or implement and support it on your own servers.
What is iDempiere?
iDempiere is an open-source ERP system developed by an international community. There are no licence fees per user or per module, and the system can be adapted to the way a company works.
No licence fees
The open-source core has no per-user or per-module licence costs.
Adaptable
Processes, fields and workflows can be configured to fit your business.
Actively developed
Continuously maintained and improved by an international community.
Proven in daily use
Companies run their day-to-day operations on it.
What our role in the project means for you
When your business needs something iDempiere doesn't do yet, we commit to contributing it upstream, through the same review process as every other contribution. You keep running standard iDempiere. A private fork would have to be re-applied at every upgrade, and that work adds cost each time you move to a newer version.
Which industries do we work with?
We have implemented ERP systems in many sectors, for companies from one-person businesses to large operations. Among them: packaging trade (dangerous-goods packaging), electronics and measurement equipment, industrial and heating equipment, electrical supplies wholesale, and controlling and reporting projects.
Our deepest experience is in beverage wholesale: our reference implementation there has been live since 2014 and handles around 1,600 orders a month, with deliveries across North Rhine-Westphalia. Read the case study
These are examples, not limits. What we bring to any business is the ability to model how it works in iDempiere.
How We Work
Four steps, from the first conversation to support after go-live.
Assess
We learn how your business works, which systems you use and what you want to achieve.
Plan
We decide how iDempiere should be set up for you, and what, if anything, needs custom development.
Implement
We install and configure the system and test it together with your team.
Support
After go-live we stay on for support, tuning and training.
What Our Clients Say
Our clients' systems keep running smoothly long after go-live.
BX Service implemented iDempiere for our trading company, tailored and flexible, and for three years has impressed us with fast, precise technical support, comprehensive knowledge of the system and trouble-free operation.

I cannot say enough how happy I am with iDempiere so far. Not in the least because everything seems to be possible, everything works or can be made to work. In short, a relief, after years of living in a straitjacket.

We have had (and continue to have) a great experience working with BX. Because of their support, we were able to move confidently and adapt quickly during the move from our legacy ERP system into a modern web-based program.
