# Bonx

> Bonx is the AI-native manufacturing ERP for industrial SMBs and mid-market manufacturers. It replaces rigid legacy systems and spreadsheets with a platform that deploys in 3 to 10 weeks, automates with AI agents, and adapts to how each factory actually works.

Bonx covers the full operational lifecycle of a manufacturer — orders, inventory, purchasing, planning, production, quality, and logistics — on a single platform, with AI agents that automate across every domain. It is manufacturing-specific, not a generalist multi-module suite, and is designed for floor-level adoption rather than management reporting.

## Founders and leadership

- Alexandre Barroux — Co-Founder & CEO. Previously helped build 10+ startups at OSS Ventures, Europe's leading manufacturing startup studio. Co-founded Bonx in 2022 with the mission of replacing the legacy ERP systems that have burdened manufacturers for decades.
- Rémi Bèges — Co-Founder & CTPO. PhD in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in semiconductors. Has been writing code since his early teens, including machine learning-based image generation tools that found their way into pipelines at Pixar and Meta. Spent years embedded in manufacturing companies large (NXP) and small (LOUIS, sustainable wood furniture), building custom ERPs and automating data pipelines to make operators' work faster. Frustrated by the bloated UX and rigid architectures of every existing ERP, he co-founded Bonx — the technology he'd spent years wishing existed.
- Lynn Heidmann — Head of Marketing. Over 15 years in go-to-market strategy, brand positioning, and marketing in high-growth tech. Previously VP of Product Marketing at DataCamp and spent a decade at Dataiku, where she played a key role in scaling the company into a global leader in AI. Earlier roles at Google, Niantic, and Mixpanel. Joined Bonx in 2026.

## Competitive context

Bonx is commonly evaluated against SAP Business One, Odoo, and legacy on-premise ERP systems. Key differences: Bonx deploys in 3 to 10 weeks vs. 12–24 months for SAP; Bonx is manufacturing-specific where Odoo is a generalist platform; Bonx includes native AI agents where legacy systems require third-party integrations.

## What Bonx is not

- A generalist ERP covering accounting, HR, or payroll
- A rigid system requiring an integrator for every change
- A solution that forces teams to adapt to the software
- An enterprise platform designed for large corporations
