Orders
From enquiry to delivery: quote, order, fulfilment, status.
COMPLETE SOLUTION
A complete system. Yours.
No system yet? Then you do not get one off the shelf. You get one built around your processes: complete, production-ready, end-to-end. From orders through inventory and production to invoicing and accounting.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything your business runs on. From day one.
Proven modules, preconfigured and ready for production. You do not start from zero, and you do not end up with an island.
Customers / CRM
Contacts, history, communication and sales in one place, linked to every transaction.
Inventory
Stock, movements and stocktaking in real time, including on the shop-floor terminal.
Production
Production orders, bills of materials, and feedback straight from the floor.
Invoicing
Full invoicing: issuing, sending and tracking included.
Accounting
Postings, payments and reporting, fully integrated rather than bolted on afterwards.
Dispatch
Schedules, resources and routes, plannable and visible to everyone.
Reporting
Figures from live operations, not from stale exports.
The statutory requirements for invoicing, including the structured e-invoice mandatory in Germany from 2027, are part of the standard modules.
IN PRACTICE
What that means for you.
Results from live installations, not a model calculation.
- Same day
- invoicing after delivery
- 4×
- faster order processing
- 3 hrs
- saved per driver, per day
- 100%
- audit-trail compliance
WHY NOT JUST BUY STANDARD SOFTWARE?
Because standard software cannot represent you - and that is not an oversight.
Business Central, Sage, Odoo and the rest are good systems. They are simply built on a different logic: standardisation is their business model. That is exactly why they cannot follow you.
Your processes
Standard software
You adapt to the system. Whatever does not fit the schema becomes a workaround in Excel.
ElbDesk
The system represents how you actually work - including the parts that make you unique.
Customisation
Standard software
Through customising and add-ons - and at the next upgrade it is all up for renegotiation.
ElbDesk
Your processes are not an attachment, they are the product. They survive every update.
The code
Standard software
Belongs to the vendor. You rent access, indefinitely.
ElbDesk
Unrestricted usage rights from day one, with an optional buyout into full independence.
If you want something else
Standard software
Lock-in is not a flaw in the model - it is the model. Your processes live inside the vendor’s product.
ElbDesk
Your processes live with you, not inside our modules. You can put standard software alongside at any time - your processes come with you.
We do not compete with standard software on feature count. We compete where standard software structurally cannot go: the processes that make your business different from every other one.
NO LOCK-IN - NOT EVEN WITH US
What is interchangeable stays interchangeable.
Standard software ties you down because your processes live inside someone else’s product. In ElbDesk they live with you - and they are not chained to our modules. That is the whole difference.
01
You can move standard processes out
Accounting, inventory management, payroll: whatever runs the same way in every company is interchangeable by definition. If you later want different software for it, you are free to switch. Your custom processes keep running in ElbDesk and talk to the new system.
Integration is our speciality: SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Sage, Business Central.
02
Your code is yours
Unrestricted usage rights to everything we build for you - from day one. You can have your business logic as source code at any time; on request we extract it for you.
03
You can take the framework itself
With the optional framework buyout you get full source-code access, deploy your own developers - and the monthly maintenance fee ends.
What is interchangeable, you can exchange. What makes your business yours stays with you. Standard software cannot promise you that - there, your processes are the vendor’s product.
AND AFTERWARDS?
Your system stays yours.
Unrestricted usage rights to everything we build for you. A fixed monthly fee, regardless of how many people use it. And an optional buyout that makes you completely independent - with your own developers.
