What is SeniorERP
SeniorERP is a specialized ERP developed by Senior Software, a company with over 20 years of experience in the regional market. Historically focused on distribution, multi-store retail, and mid-market manufacturing, it serves over 1,000 active clients.
SeniorXRP is the next-gen / cloud-native version from Senior Software, designed for companies seeking SaaS, multi-tenancy, and rapid scaling without maintaining their own infrastructure. It coexists with SeniorERP (the historical on-premise version).

Core Modules
1. Finance & Accounting - GL, AP/AR, fixed assets, multi-company, multi-currency, local GAAP + IFRS.
2. Inventory & Procurement - multi-warehouse management, MRP, ABC analysis, lot/serial/expiry tracking, FEFO for pharma/food.
3. Sales & Distribution - orders, invoicing, multi-level pricing, framework contracts, agent commissions.
4. Production - multi-level BOM, production orders, consumption reporting, actual + standard costing. More mature for small/medium series than industrial MES.
5. CRM - lead management, opportunities, pipeline tracking.
6. WMS - warehouse management with RF/scanners, putaway, and optimized picking.
7. Mobile SFA - field agents, mobile orders, basic geolocation.
8. BI - parameterized reports and dashboards.
Target Audience
Typical SeniorERP Profile:
Mid-market Distributors (FMCG, pharma, construction materials), 50-200 users
Multi-store Retailers (5-50 locations), fashion, electronics, DIY
Discrete Manufacturers, small/medium series production
B2B Services with recurring billing
Typical SeniorXRP Profile:
New or fast-scaling companies looking for cloud-first solutions
Growing businesses outgrowing basic accounting software and needing a real ERP
Companies preferring predictable TCO (subscription) over initial CAPEX
Deployment Models
SeniorERP: on-premise, hosted by Senior Software, or private cloud (Azure/AWS).
SeniorXRP: Multi-tenant SaaS on Senior Software infrastructure.
Licensing
SeniorERP: named user + modules + annual maintenance ~18-20%.
SeniorXRP: monthly subscription per user (~40-90€/user/month).
Details: «SeniorERP / SeniorXRP Costs - 5-Year TCO».
When It Makes Sense
YES: Mid-market distributor/retailer/manufacturer in the region, stable vendor with 20+ years of history, vertical-specialized consultants, budget €100-400k (SeniorERP) or €30-90k/year (SeniorXRP).
NOT the best fit: Intensive omnichannel, EDI with 10+ retailers, modern SFA for 30+ agents, advanced AI forecasting.
Real Limitations
Large-scale Omnichannel Ecommerce, connectors are available, but multi-channel + marketplaces can be fragile
Multi-retailer EDI - mapping per retailer usually requires a dedicated project
Modern SFA - classic UX, typical adoption rates <50%
Self-service B2B Portal - available but often rigid
AI / Predictive - descriptive reporting rather than predictive insights
For these blind spots, Azuvio Smart Layer is the solution: SeniorERP remains the core ERP, while Azuvio adds modern operational layers. See «When you need a Smart Layer over SeniorERP».
Conclusion
SeniorERP is a mature choice for mid-market distribution, retail, and manufacturing. SeniorXRP is the modern choice for cloud-first strategies. For modern operational extensions, a Smart Layer is more efficient than native customization.
