Projects, time tracking, and billing in one open ERP

ERP for Service Companies

Service companies live on billable hours, yet project, time tracking, and invoice often sit in three separate tools. An ERP for service companies brings them together. Anexum builds this on Managed Dolibarr, an open ERP without per-seat license costs, operated in the EU, and supports rollout and operation as your ERP service provider.

What is ERP for Service Companies?

An ERP for service companies connects project management, service and time tracking, offer, and billing in one system, so every hour worked finds its way onto an invoice. Anexum delivers this on Dolibarr: CRM, offers, projects, time tracking, and billing interlock, evaluated by project, customer, and employee. There are no per-seat license costs, your data stays in your hands, and operation runs on infrastructure in the EU. As an ERP service provider, Anexum handles rollout, customization, and ongoing operation, so you use the system without administering it yourself.

Service scope

  • Project management with tasks, milestones, and budget per project
  • Service and time tracking, linked to project and billable position
  • Offer, order, and invoice in one continuous data flow
  • CRM for contacts, opportunities, and recurring customers
  • Evaluation by project, customer, and employee, without per-seat license costs
  • Operation in the EU, rollout and operation by Anexum as ERP service provider

Every hour lands on an invoice

Time tracking hangs on the project and the billable position. Work done does not get lost between calendar, spreadsheet, and invoice.

No price per head

Dolibarr is open source. You pay for operation and customization, not for every additional seat. The ERP stays affordable as the team grows.

One partner for rollout and operation

Anexum sets up the ERP, adapts it to your workflows, and keeps it running. You have one contact who knows your installation.

Common questions

What is an ERP for service companies?
An ERP for service companies is a system that connects project, service and time tracking, offer, and billing, instead of running them in separate tools. The goal is a continuous path from the recorded hour to the invoice, evaluated by project and customer. Anexum implements this on the open-source Dolibarr.
Which service companies suit Dolibarr?
Dolibarr fits project, IT, consulting, agency, and engineering service companies whose value creation hangs on projects and billable hours. Anyone who writes offers, steers projects, records time, and turns that into invoices finds the right modules already in the standard.
Does the ERP replace my time tracking and invoicing software?
In many cases, yes. Time tracking, project management, offer, and billing are included in Dolibarr and share one data set. That removes the duplicate entry between single tools. Whether a specialist tool stays is clarified during rollout.
What does an ERP for service companies cost?
Dolibarr itself is open source and has no per-seat license costs. With Anexum you pay for EU hosting, rollout, and customization. Total cost depends on the number of users, the modules, and customization needs, and is scoped in advance.
Does my project and customer data stay in the EU?
Yes. Anexum runs Dolibarr on infrastructure in the EU, with daily backups and data you can export at any time. A data processing agreement is part of it.
What does Anexum do as an ERP service provider?
Anexum handles rollout, data migration, customization through the custom directory, operation, and support. You use ERP and CRM, and Anexum keeps the system current, secured, and aligned with your workflows.
