Scipio ERP vs Apache OFBiz

Scipio ERP is a fork of Apache OFBiz that kept the data model and replaced what a team touches: the interface, the shop, the themes and the tooling. Now an agent can operate it too.

  • The OFBiz data model, kept
  • A modern interface, shop and themes
  • Annotations, Gradle, Java 21 and MCP

From OFBiz to Scipio ERP#

Advanced features, user-friendly interface & professional support

Whether you have worked with OFBiz yourself or are simply comparing features, you may have already noticed its shortcomings: OFBiz lacks modern ecommerce implementations, third-party integrations and unfortunately is not too great on the support-side either. If any of these are bothering you, too, then Scipio ERP may be the alternative you have been looking for!

Modern Ecommerce & Great Support!#

In a way, we have to thank Apache OFBiz for all the things it does right: It is a great database architecture, with an all-around impressive arsenal of functions and scalable applications. However, after more than a decade of experience working with the system we also understand its shortcomings.

Scipio ERP is the answer to those that love OFBiz, but feel the painful lack of support and wish for a more modern foundation for complex ecommerce applications. Sounds interesting?

Optimized for ecommerce#

Be more efficient & increase sales

We took the key learnings from working with OFBiz on client installations and fixed all about it. The shop is completely redone – with modern HTML, greater product range support, amazing new promotion configurations, various checkouts and more. Manage content with the new & easy-to-use CMS & Menu Builder. Create proper sitemaps, generate Content with the help of AI and more.

On top, Scipio ERP supports various third-party integrations , such as OpenAI, WordPress, Magnolia CMS, Fresh Relevance, Algolia, iPayment Providers, Postal Services. There is even a Point of Sale solution (mPOS & jPOS ) available.

Better Backend-UI#

Be more efficient at your daily work.

For Scipio ERP all original Apps have been updated and replaced with greatly superior interfaces. The HTML has been standardized & the themes are entirely customizable. New designs are added constantly – and it is easy to add your own.

New accounting standards are available (SKR03,SKR04, SKR07, PGC) and new applications were added (from CMS to POS). We also added thousands of bugfixes and made Scipio the more secure solution.

Easier & faster development#

We are developer friendly!

We know how difficult it is to work with OFBiz, which is why we invested in tools to make working with us alot easier. The Scipio ERP framework integration for IntelliJ IDEA is one of the many things we added to the system. With custom editors for Freemarker (and Templating Toolkit), greater support of all the custom configuration files and a vast range of utilities, we really strive to make development as painless as can be.

We also provide tutorials , keep improving our developer documentation , and are happy to provide you with skilled onboarding & training session for you and your team.
