ERP and manufacturing software for industrial businesses across Europe
Forterro operates a multi-product ERP portfolio (ABAS, Jeeves, Orderwise) serving 25,000+ industrial customers across Europe from 40+ offices. The tech stack reveals a company in mid-cycle modernization: heavy SQL Server and C# backends with Angular frontends, now adopting .NET Core and migrating away from .NET Framework. Active projects span ERP implementation, platform upgrades, and multi-tenant SaaS automation on AWS—paired with hiring velocity focused on mid-level talent in sales and support, signaling scaling of customer delivery rather than product innovation.
