A new generation of ERP jostles standards, with them, Bonx, Toulouse startup founded in 2022, is one of the standard bearers. Its promise is to transform the management of industrial operations of SMEs by combining three technological levers that Legacy giants (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics) have long struggled to fully embrace, these levers are called artificial intelligence, no-code and ecosystem integration.
Artificial intelligence as an operational engine
The AI implemented by Bonx is not limited to a few decision -making assistance modules or an interface chatbot, it structures the product, from planning algorithms to real -time piloting of industrial flows. The challenge is to provide manufacturing SMEs with measurable gains. According to the first feedback, Recyc-Matelas saw its turnover increase by 20 %, while Maillecotech improved its operational efficiency by 10 %. Performances that are not anecdotal in a universe where each margin point counts.
A NO-CODE interface thought for field teams
The other major innovation in Bonx is based on a NO-Code interface, designed for operators, workshop managers or quality managers, without the need for technical skills. Standing deployments in five weeks, Bonx breaks a taboo in the ERP world, where projects are often spread over several quarters, or even more.
This speed of execution constitutes a differentiating argument, in particular for SMEs which do not have internal IT resources, or financial capacity to support a long and uncertain transformation project.
Ecosystem, rather than substitution
Last pillar of the platform, its fluid integration with existing tools. Accounting, CRM, HR software… Bonx does not seek to replace the software battery of industrialists, but to strengthen it. It is inserted as an operational spine, preventing companies from having to rebuild their digital infrastructure. An interface strategy that promotes user support and compatibility with already established workflows.
As Rémi Beges, Cto de Bonx, points out, ” Bonx redefines the ERP landscape by combining an exceptional deployment speed with truly effective AI capabilities, generating huge efficiency gains in a sector still largely dominated by obsolete software. »»
A European ambition supported by 7.5 million euros
Bonx has just raised 7.5 million euros from the World Technological Fund 9900 Capital, with the participation of Kima Ventures, Purple, Oss Ventures (their original Startup Studio) and Dynamo Ventures. This round table aims to triple the workforce (from 15 to 50 employees), open three new European markets in addition to France, Spain and Italy, and prepare an entry into the American market within 18 months.
The company, co -founded by Alexandre Barroux (CEO) and Rémi Beges (CTO), today claims around thirty industrial customers. It aims at 60 customers by the end of 2025 and 150 by 2026. A first round of $ 1.2 million was carried out in pre-bundling in 2022. Bonx affirms its ambition to become the European leader in smart ERPs for industrial SMEs.
