Who we are

Practical ERP, built by people who have run the floor

E&P Solutions is an Odoo partner based in Linz, built around a simple idea: enterprise software should make a business easier to run, not harder to understand. We work with manufacturers, retailers, professional services firms, startups and nonprofits across Austria and the wider DACH region, helping them replace scattered spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one connected platform that reflects how the business actually operates.

What sets us apart is where our expertise comes from. It comes from manufacturing and engineering, from services and sales, from process management and business organization, and from ERP rollouts in mid-sized companies. That is why we never start from a ready-made template. We first analyze how accounting, warehouse, sales, HR and projects actually work today, where friction happens and which processes can be improved. Only then do we map that reality into Odoo.

Digitalization, to us, also means automation

Artificial intelligence is therefore a fixed part of our process analysis. We check which steps can be automated and where AI agents genuinely help, for example with document capture, recurring customer queries, internal workflows or preparing management figures. What matters is not what is technically possible, but what is economically sensible. We weigh effort, savings potential and payback: what does it cost to implement, how much time does it save, and from when does it pay off. We use AI only where it creates a measurable benefit.

From process analysis to day-to-day operation

We accompany digitalization projects along the whole path, from analysis and implementation through customization, interfaces and data migration to training and ongoing support. Methods from process management, Lean Management and Six Sigma help us not just digitalize existing workflows but genuinely improve them. Our aim is not to roll out as much software as possible. Our aim is a system that fits your business, supports your team day to day, and can grow with your company.

Personal, direct and without detours

We are deliberately a small, experienced team. Our clients work directly with the people who understand their processes, design their system and see the rollout through. That means short decision paths, fast response times, and above all one thing: accountability from a single source.

E&P Solutions exists since 2024, as a GmbH since 2026. The experience we build on is considerably older: thirteen years in production, process management in healthcare, and ERP rollouts led in mid-sized companies. Today we support manufacturers, retailers, service providers, startups and nonprofit organizations, always with the same goal: fewer disconnected tools, clearer numbers, and a system your team actually enjoys using.

What drives us

Mission and vision

Mission

We help businesses stay competitive and future-proof. To do that, we analyze and improve processes, automate workflows, and integrate digital solutions and AI wherever they create genuine value in day-to-day work. Our goal is systems that simplify work, create transparency and make companies sustainably more efficient.

Vision

Our vision is a business world where companies of every size work with clear processes and intelligent, connected systems. That lets them act more economically, respond faster to change, and stay successful in the long run.

Leadership

The people behind E&P Solutions

"We built E&P Solutions on what actually works on the floor, not what looks good in a slide deck."

Before founding E&P Solutions, I spent thirteen years in production, so I know first-hand what a bad system does to a shop floor and what a good one makes possible. On top of that comes work in healthcare process management and leading business process change across entire company groups.

For me, every project starts with people and their workflows. I talk to the people who actually do the work, and set that beside numbers, data and facts: from the conversations themselves, from process mining, and from our own AI tools. Only once both line up do you see where a business is really losing time, and where automation actually helps.

We use automation and AI where they support people in their work, not where they are meant to replace people. The knowledge inside a company lives in the heads of the people who work there. Our job is to make that knowledge visible and usable, and to bring the team along the way.

That is why I care less about how a system looks in a demo, and more about whether it holds up on a busy Monday morning.

"An ERP system can be implemented. Or you can make sure it actually gets used. Only the second one is our job."

Before co-founding E&P Solutions, I worked in technical sales for industrial automation, and before that supported ERP rollouts in mid-sized companies, from process capture through to day-to-day operation.

For me, good ERP projects do not start with the software, but with the question of how a business actually works. Where does information originate? Where do time and knowledge get lost? And where do grown workflows create unnecessary complexity?

That is exactly where we start at E&P Solutions. We analyze existing processes, question them together with our clients, and develop clear, practical structures from that. Only afterwards do we map these consistently into the ERP system.

My standard here is clear: a good system should guide the user through their daily work, make information available where it is needed, and make connections across departments visible. The next step should feel self-evident, not something that needs explaining.

Automation and artificial intelligence are, to me, the logical next step of this approach. Recurring tasks can be automated, information linked intelligently, and knowledge made centrally available. What matters is not using as much technology as possible, but applying it exactly where it creates real benefit.

My goal is connected systems that take work off people's hands, create transparency and enable better decisions.

To me, technology is successful when you barely have to talk about it in daily work, because it simply works in the background.
