Three years of trouble-free ERP for a trading company with no in-house software expertise

Alex Breuer GmbH, a trading company with 20 employees specialising in dangerous-goods packaging, has run its business on iDempiere since 2023. The system is customised closely to the company's own processes, has run without disruption, and adapts as the regulations around its business change. The company needs no software expertise of its own to keep it that way.

The situation: specific processes, no in-house software expertise

Alex Breuer GmbH trades in packaging and specialises in dangerous-goods packaging. The company has 20 employees and moved from Odoo to iDempiere, its second open-source ERP.

The company has no software expertise of its own, while the regulatory environment around its business keeps changing. Both the system and the partner behind it have to keep up with that.

The solution: iDempiere customised to the company's processes

BX Service implemented iDempiere and customised it closely to the way Alex Breuer GmbH works. Both the system and BX Service proved flexible enough to follow the company's processes.

BX Service also provides the technical support. In the client's words, changes are made quickly and precisely, and BX Service's knowledge of the system covers every level. The installation went live on iDempiere 11 and has since been upgraded to the current LTS release, iDempiere 13.

Results

  • Since 2023

    running the business on iDempiere

  • 3 years

    of trouble-free operation, in the client's words

  • Odoo → iDempiere

    move to a system customised to the company's processes

  • 11 → 13

    upgraded from iDempiere 11 to the current LTS release

BX Service introduced iDempiere, our second open-source ERP, at our trading company of 20 employees. The system was tailored very closely to our processes, and both BX Service and the system itself proved remarkably flexible. The technical work has always been fast, precise and flawless, and it still is. We have no software expertise of our own, but BX Service's knowledge of the system seems comprehensive at every level, one might even say complete. We have now run the ERP for three years without disruption, and in an increasingly fast-changing regulatory environment we benefit from the flexibility of the system and the outstanding expertise of BX Service.

What this means for a company like yours

If your business runs on processes of its own and you have no software specialists in-house, iDempiere can be modelled around how you work, with BX Service carrying the technical knowledge. Moving from another ERP, including another open-source system, is part of that work.
