Openbravo & Etendo Consulting — by an ex-Openbravo core engineer
We worked on the Openbravo platform itself before spending a decade implementing it. If you run Openbravo or Etendo and need customization, migration, or AI built in — or you're a partner who needs senior delivery capacity — you're talking to the right two people.
Why an Openbravo Consultant From Inside the Platform
Most consultancies learned Openbravo from the outside. We learned it from the inside — and we've been shipping ERP together since 2009.
Shankar Balachandran
Shankar was an Applications Engineer at Openbravo in Bangalore from 2012 to 2014, working on the core platform used by more than 1,000 deployments worldwide. He then spent seven years as Technical Director of a Mauritius consulting firm, running a delivery center of 15+ engineers handling five or more concurrent ERP implementations at a time — and building a Xero–Openbravo connector along the way. Thirteen-plus years in this ecosystem, PMP and PMI-PMOCP certified.
Pandeeswari Ramakrishnan
Pandeeswari has worked in Openbravo since 2009 — over twelve years — including her own stint as an Openbravo Applications Engineer in product development and global partner support. She has seen the platform from both sides: building it, and helping partners around the world implement it.
What that experience has delivered
Between us we've delivered ERP work for a major French furniture retailer and a Gulf electronics chain, across Openbravo, Etendo, Orisha Commerce, Sage X3, and POS implementations. Since 2021 we've been building LLM and AI integrations inside Etendo — product categorization, variant management, and automated quality-control inspection — all running in production, not on a slide.
Today we're retained by a US-based Etendo Gold partner as their engineering and AI delivery arm. We can't show you their client logos — that's the point of white-label work — but we can walk you through exactly how we build, in as much technical depth as you like.
Etendo Development, Openbravo to Etendo Migration & AI Inside Etendo
Everything below is work we do ourselves. If something isn't worth doing, we'll say so before you spend money on it.
Customization & Module Development
New modules, window and process customizations, integrations with the systems around your ERP. Built by engineers who worked on the Openbravo core itself, so extensions respect the platform instead of fighting it.
Openbravo to Etendo Migration
Moving from Openbravo to Etendo without losing the customizations your business runs on. We audit what you have, tell you plainly what carries over and what needs rework, and migrate in stages you can test.
AI & Copilot Inside Etendo
LLM features running in production inside Etendo — product categorization, variant management, automated quality-control inspection. Not demos: features your team uses every day.
Performance Tuning & Upgrades
Slow windows, long-running batch jobs, upgrades everyone is afraid to run. We find the actual bottleneck — query, index, or design — and bring older instances up to date without breaking what works.
Rescue & Second Opinions
ERP project stalled? Integrator gone quiet? We've untangled worse. We'll read the code, tell you honestly where the project stands, and either fix it or give you a realistic plan someone else can execute.
Partner Delivery Capacity
White-label senior engineering for Openbravo and Etendo partners. We already work this way as the retained engineering and AI delivery arm of a US-based Etendo Gold partner — your clients see your brand, backed by our code.
How Engagements Work
Most engagements begin with our free ERP & AI Readiness Assessment — it costs you nothing and gives us both a shared, honest picture of where your system stands.
Start with the free assessment
The natural first step is our free ERP & AI Readiness Assessment — a short, structured look at your instance, your customizations, and where AI could genuinely help. You get a written summary either way.
Fixed-scope, plain-English proposal
You get a proposal that says what we'll build, what we deliberately won't, what it costs, and when it ships. No time-and-materials fog, no surprise change requests for things we should have foreseen.
Work directly with the principals
The two people you meet on the first call are the two people who write the code. Nothing gets handed off to a junior team you've never spoken to.
One honest note on capacity: we are two principals, and we keep the number of concurrent engagements deliberately small. That's what makes the quality possible — and it means if our dates don't work for yours, we'll tell you up front rather than overpromise. If your needs are broader than ERP — a growing business looking at custom software or AI more generally — start with our page for growing businesses instead.
