ERP platform covering production, logistics, after-sales service, accounting, and projects for medium-to-large operational businesses.
In its favor
Why people choose Open-Prod
The signal that keeps Open-Prod on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Industrial-vertical purpose-built — Open-Prod is a French ERP designed by industrialists for industrial manufacturers (plastics, electronics, automotive, mechanics, leather goods, specialized machinery), with native MES/MRP/GPAO/GMAO modules rather than retrofitted manufacturing onto a generalist ERP.
Over 200 specialized modules covering production (GPAO), stock and logistics, purchasing, commercial/CRM with product configurator, project management, maintenance (GMAO), BI, mobile/MES with RFID, accounting/invoicing, and HR — modularity lets manufacturers buy only what they need.
No per-user license costs — the vendor positions itself as 'open' with project-based or subscription pricing rather than seat-based escalation, attractive for shops with shift-based or many shop-floor users.
Customer base of 500+ industrial clients including Air Liquide, Antilope Van, and Axiome provides peer-reference proof for French/European industrial buyers.
Native interfaces with CAD tools and EDI systems plus an API layer for internal/external integrations cover the typical manufacturing technology landscape.
French-first vendor — non-French/EU customers may find documentation, support, and consultant availability thinner than with global ERPs (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics).
No public pricing means every procurement cycle is sales-led and harder to benchmark against transparent ERPs like Odoo.
Smaller global market presence than mainstream ERPs translates to fewer third-party connectors, training materials, and certified consultants outside France.
Customers expanding outside Europe or into multi-jurisdiction operations often migrate to multi-country ERPs with broader country localizations.
Open-source positioning may set expectations that the product is community-driven; in practice it is editor-and-integrator-led with paid support, which surprises some open-source-savvy buyers.

What gets migrated
Open-Prod object support
Object-by-object support for Open-Prod migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers/Accounts
Mapping requiredOpen-Prod maintains customer and account records as part of its core ERP data model. We extract customer records with associated contact and financial metadata, then map them to the destination system accounting for differences in required fields and naming conventions.
Products/Items
Mapping requiredItem records in Open-Prod include product details, pricing, and inventory quantities. We handle item extraction and flag any custom fields or variant structures that may require value mapping at the destination.
Inventory
Mapping requiredOpen-Prod tracks stock levels across warehouse locations. We extract current inventory positions but note that open purchase orders and pending shipments require careful sequencing to avoid stock discrepancies during cutover.
Orders/Sales Documents
Mapping requiredSales orders and invoices are exported from Open-Prod's accounting module. We preserve order lineage and line-item details, mapping to destination equivalents and flagging any post-migration invoice numbering adjustments.
Projects
Mapping requiredOpen-Prod includes project management capabilities tied to operational workflows. We extract project records, tasks, and milestones, noting that task dependencies and custom fields may require manual review post-migration.
Service/After-Sales Records
Mapping requiredAfter-sales service records are part of Open-Prod's operational module. We export service ticket data and map to the destination helpdesk or CRM system, handling status and priority field translation.
Custom Fields
Not in this platformCustom fields are supported in Open-Prod but their schema is not publicly documented. We cannot guarantee automatic mapping of custom field data without direct access to the customer's Open-Prod configuration. Customers must provide a field inventory during scoping.
Attachments
Not in this platformOpen-Prod stores attachments within records, but we do not have confirmed evidence of a public attachment export mechanism. We flag attachment migration as out of scope until we can validate export capability.
