Galdon Software

What Galdon Software does

Galdón Software S.A. is a privately held Spanish software engineering company founded in 1988 in Granada (Pulianas), Spain, that develops and implements custom ERP and business management software for more than 2,500 companies and 30,000 active users across over 60 activity sectors. The company specializes in sector-specific ERP variants — including distribution, retail, food and beverage, hospitality, manufacturing, construction, automotive, textile, and services — delivered as turnkey projects with associated modules for CRM, warehouse management (SGA), accounting, payroll, document management, fleet control, e-commerce, and mobile workforce applications. Its solutions are built on gsBase®, a proprietary client-server application development and execution platform created in 2001 and deployed exclusively through its subsidiary gsBase Systems Ibérica, S.L., supporting up to 2,400 concurrent users, nine languages, and cloud or on-premise deployment.

The underlying technology stack is Python-based, runs on Windows, and is accessible cross-platform via Terminal Server or Citrix; the gsBase API Server (launched March 2021) provides REST-based integration with Power BI, Qlik View, and external applications, and the 2026 OCR-IA module adds AI-powered document classification and extraction. Galdón is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified and operates with a stable, low-turnover engineering team that has worked together for years or decades.

Galdón generates revenue through a hybrid model combining one-time ERP license sales (with optional maintenance from year two) and SaaS/pay-per-use subscriptions, supplemented by professional services (consulting, implementation, training) and tiered usage-based SaaS pricing for the OCR-IA module (€140–€600/month). The go-to-market is consultative and sales-led: free advisory and analysis phases precede tailored project proposals, supported by a network of "Consultores Asociados gsBase" resellers and government-backed Kit Digital / Kit Consulting digital advisory channels. The company is family-controlled, with Juan Huertas as CEO, Laura Huertas as COO, Eugenia Huertas as CTO, and Laura Cabello as Financial Director, and has not raised external institutional capital.
