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.

Live since 2014

Our reference implementation in beverage wholesale has run continuously for 12 years, upgraded from iDempiere 6 to the current LTS release, iDempiere 13.

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.

How we keep this promise

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.

Fast turnaround

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.

1

No licence fees

The open-source core has no per-user or per-module licence costs.

2

Adaptable

Processes, fields and workflows can be configured to fit your business.

3

Actively developed

Continuously maintained and improved by an international community.

4

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.

1

Assess

We learn how your business works, which systems you use and what you want to achieve.

2

Plan

We decide how iDempiere should be set up for you, and what, if anything, needs custom development.

3

Implement

We install and configure the system and test it together with your team.

4

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.

Read the case study

We have always found their work to be of the highest quality, estimates to be accurate, solutions to be effective, and communications levels to be high.

Joel Stangeland

TrekGlobal

Vancouver, Washington, United States

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.
