The problem
Off-the-shelf software wasn’t built for how industrial companies work.
So the real work happens in spreadsheets, email threads and chat groups — and in the heads of the few people who know where everything is.

- 01 · Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets doing a system’s job
Orders, prices and stock live in files only one person fully understands. One wrong cell and nothing adds up.
- 02 · Rigid ERP
Software that makes you work around it
Big platforms take months to configure, charge per seat, and still don’t match how your team actually works.
- 03 · Re-typing
The same data, typed five times
An order moves from email to Excel to accounting by hand. Every hand-off is another chance for it to slip.
What we build
One partner for the systems your operation runs on.
Start with the module that hurts most. Every system we build shares one data model, so the next one plugs straight in.
02
Warehouse & inventory
Real-time stock across sites, bins and batches — with barcode scanning, cycle counts and reorder points that raise their own purchase requests.
03
B2B ordering portal
A self-service portal where customers see their own prices, reorder in seconds and track every delivery.
04
CRM & sales
Accounts, quotes and pipeline built for long, multi-stakeholder industrial deals.
+ AI
An AI layer across every module
Document reading, quote comparison, stock forecasting and a plain-language assistant that knows your data — with people approving what matters.

Something else?
If it runs your operation, we can build it — and connect it to everything above.

AI, built in
AI that does the paperwork, so your team does the work.
We add AI where it measurably saves time — reading documents, matching data and answering questions — with a person approving anything that matters.
Reads your documents
Quotes, invoices, delivery notes and spec sheets become structured records — no retyping.
Compares and recommends
Supplier quotes ranked on price, lead time and track record, with the reasoning shown.
Flags what needs attention
Stock that will run out, deliveries that will slip, approvals that are stuck — before they hurt.
Answers questions about your data
Ask in plain language. Get answers from your own orders, stock and customers, linked to the source.
AI suggests, people approve. Every automated action is logged.

B2B sales & sourcing
Shaped around your process
Your approval rules, your price logic, your units and terms — not a template you bend to.
You own everything
Source code, data and infrastructure are yours. No per-seat licences, no lock-in.
Start small, grow modular
Begin with the module that hurts most. Every system shares one data model, so the next one plugs in.
Fits the stack you have
We connect to your ERP, accounting and e-invoicing instead of asking you to rip them out.
AI with guardrails
AI suggests, people approve. Every automated action is logged and can be traced back.
One accountable team
Discovery, design, engineering, data migration and support — under one roof, one contract.

FAQ
Questions we hear on every first call.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly — a real person reads every message.
What does Operiux do?
Operiux designs, builds and runs custom software for industrial B2B companies: procurement, warehouse and inventory, B2B ordering portals, CRM and sales tools, and AI automation. Each system is shaped around the client’s own process, connected to the tools they already use, and owned by the client.
Who is Operiux for?
Manufacturers, industrial distributors, building-materials suppliers, MRO and spare-parts businesses, electrical and automation suppliers, chemicals and packaging companies, and logistics providers — typically teams that have outgrown spreadsheets and email but find off-the-shelf ERP too rigid.
How is Operiux related to GURU and BeGuru?
Operiux is a brand of BeGuru, Inc., the company behind GURU — AI business development for industrial markets. GURU helps industrial companies find customers; Operiux builds the systems they run their operations on.
How much does a custom system cost?
It depends on scope, which is why we start with a short, fixed-fee discovery sprint. You then get a fixed price for each build phase before any work starts — no open-ended hourly billing.
How long until our team can use it?
We plan in phases, so you start using a first module early instead of waiting for a big-bang launch. The exact timeline is part of the fixed-scope proposal you receive after discovery.
Do we have to replace our ERP or accounting software?
No. Most of the time we build around it — syncing products, customers, orders and invoices — so your ERP stays the system of record for finance while your team works in tools that fit them.
Who owns the code and the data?
You do. The source code, the database and the cloud account are yours. If you ever want another team to take over, everything is documented and handed over.
Our data lives in Excel today. Is that a problem?
That is where most projects start. Cleaning, mapping and importing your existing data is part of every build, and we keep Excel import and export wherever your team relies on it.
How do you handle AI and data privacy?
AI features are switched on workflow by workflow. They run in your cloud environment with role-based access, people approve anything that matters, and every AI action is logged.
What happens after launch?
We stay on. Our Run & evolve plan covers hosting, monitoring, support and continuous improvements, so the system keeps up as your operation changes.
