Simple

The BlueBox prides itself on building robust and sophisticated web based ERP systems. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software can be defined as helping integrate management, staff, and equipment, combining all aspects of the business into one system in order to facilitate every element of the manufacturing process. ERP groups traditional company and management functions (such as accounting, inventory, purchasing and sales management, manufacturing management, and customer relationship management [CRM]) into a coherent whole. We also build specific vertical solutions such as Loyalty, POS, Reservations and Content Management modules. As our solutions are all web based, it is logical that we have a division handling website development for our customers.

Brilliant

With a committed team made up of passionate individuals who are focused on creating software that delights our customers, the BlueBox builds web-based software that will help your business be the best it can be. We take care to ensure that we retain the mantra of simplicity, brilliance and effectiveness at the core of all we do.

Effective

Our model is designed specifically with your needs as a business manager to obtain the best possible solution at the most reasonable price, and at the same time ensure that you haven't committed yourself to a solution that restricts you in terms of future development or traps you in a commitment you can't terminate. By offering 90% of our code as open source, developing on open-source platforms and pricing our product per server/site and not per user and a month by month relationship we provide you with all the peace of mind you need. With our comprehensive range of modules we are ready to provide your business with the software it needs and the system it deserves.

History

The BlueBox was started in 1997 by Paul de Villiers, the current MD. Originating as a web development business in the early days of the internet revolution, The BlueBox was quick to identify the opportunities arising from the business world's growing need for instant availability and accessibility to meaningful and consolidated business information. The result was a business which rapidly graduated from providing functional intranets to providing full blown ERP and Business Intelligence solutions. The BlueBox's aim was to develop products which would provide the majority of businesses with the same level of sophisticated business system tools that bigger businesses had been benefiting from for years, and at the same time, provide system developers with a platform on which to build and refine web based systems. This vision was fully realised in the launch of BlueBox 2.0.
