One business platform from customer enquiry to production.
Within Axelis & Partners, we develop Orion ERP for interior fit-out firms, kitchen manufacturers, joiners and other custom manufacturing businesses. Sales, costing, materials, work preparation, purchasing, planning, production and invoicing should not sit beside one another; they should work together.
01Why Orion
Because information is always moving through a custom manufacturing business.
From the first conversation to installation, almost every department uses information that was created earlier in the process.
A customer makes a choice. Sales turns it into a quote. Costing determines the price. Work preparation makes it technically feasible. Purchasing makes sure the materials are there. Production needs to know what to make. Planning decides when. Invoicing closes the project.
In many companies, those steps are spread across different programs, spreadsheets, emails and personal agreements.
That means information is entered again, checked again and sometimes interpreted again.
Orion grew from one simple idea: information captured correctly once should remain usable later in the process.
02The workflow
From customer and project to production and invoicing.
Orion follows the logic of the business, not the logic of separate software packages.
01
Customer and project
Customers, projects, rooms and core information in one place.
02
Configuration
Configure products, cabinets, materials, appliances and options.
03
Costing
Let cost price and margin evolve as choices are made.
04
Work preparation
Turn commercial information into technically executable data.
05
Purchasing
Make sure materials and components are available on time.
06
Planning
Align projects with capacity, materials and delivery dates.
07
Production
Make the right information available on the shop floor.
08
Invoicing
Move from completed work to payment and management information.
03Costing
The price should come from what will actually be made.
A reliable selling price starts with a reliable cost price.
Materials, hardware, appliances, worktops, operations, machines, labour hours, transport, installation and subcontracted work can all be part of the same project.
Orion is therefore built around a central pricing structure that can translate technical project choices into cost price and margin.
Not reconstructing the cost afterwards, but understanding during costing what a choice means financially.
04Materials and suppliers
One material bank as the basis for costing, purchasing and production.
01
Material data
Manage decors, substrates, thicknesses, finishes and other properties centrally.
02
Suppliers
Use material and pricing information as much as possible from one shared structure.
03
Price build-up
Reuse the same core data in costing and later project steps.
05Work preparation and production
The shop floor must be able to trust what happened upstream.
Work preparation should not be a search for the latest version of a project.
What sales agreed, what costing calculated and what was technically defined must be available when production starts working with it.
That is why Orion is built not only around administrative transactions, but around the flow of information to the shop floor.
The same project information must keep the same meaning commercially, technically and operationally.
06Orion in action
Not concept mock-ups. This is the platform in development.

ERP for joiners

Built within Axelis & Partners, informed by 38 years of industry experience.
Orion ERP is developed within Axelis & Partners as a sustainable business platform for the interior and manufacturing industry.
The organisation brings product development, practical expertise and support together. Founder Dirk Panis contributes 38 years of experience across sales, costing, work preparation, production, installation and business management.
That practical experience is an important foundation, while Orion is deliberately being built as an organisation-backed platform.
The focus is therefore not only on software, but also on documentation, support, continuity and long-term transferability.
