What Openworx does

Openworx is a privately held Dutch information-technology company headquartered in Weert, Netherlands, founded in 2010, that specializes in Odoo, the open-source modular ERP/CRM platform. The company implements Odoo Community and Enterprise editions for small and medium-sized businesses (MKB) in the Netherlands, providing process analysis, configuration, training, go-live support, and ongoing maintenance. Its service portfolio also includes custom Odoo module development (maatwerk), an Odoo Community Upgrade Service that uses the OpenUpgrade methodology to migrate databases across versions without an Enterprise license, and a managed Odoo cloud hosting offering on ISO27001 certified EU data centers with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, 24/7 monitoring, and automatic backups following a 3-2-1 rule. The company also sells auxiliary infrastructure services — web hosting (€18/month), domain registration, SSL certificates, and N8N workflow-automation hosting (€35/month) — through a self-serve e-commerce shop.

The business model blends recurring subscription revenue (Odoo Cloud Standard at €10/month unmanaged, Odoo Cloud Premium at €55/month managed with 1 hour of monthly support) with one-time professional services fees (Odoo Community upgrades from €350, bespoke custom development quoted per project). Go-to-market is sales-led and SMB-targeted within the Netherlands, supported by content marketing (technical blog covering Odoo releases, AI development, ICT topics), Odoo Appstore distribution (proprietary modules including Metro Style Website Portal, Invoice Payment Received Mail, and Material Backend Theme), and direct phone/email consultation. Openworx holds official Odoo partner status and is an Odoo Community Association (OCA) member as of 2025, and proprietary custom development increasingly incorporates ChatGPT Codex and Claude Code to accelerate module creation and reduce turnaround time.

In May 2026, Openworx was unified with Panther Workforce Solutions under a new Panther HCM division of parent company Panther Global Holdings, with Charlotte Bonilla appointed to lead the combined unit. With a reported 1–10 employees and single-country operations, Openworx operates as a niche specialist rather than a scale-stage platform, monetizing deep Odoo expertise, EU-hosted managed infrastructure, and custom development services in a tightly defined Dutch SMB segment.
