Businesses have grown rapidly. Most sell not just at stores or online, but also through kiosks and apps, and perhaps through third party partners as well. This complicates a variety of things ranging from inventories to accounting, but ERPs haven’t quite kept pace, especially for retail. Enter Elysee Group.

Four years ago, CEO Julien Favre spotted this gap and the opportunity to build and integrate ERP software, notably, for omnichannel sales— multiple sales channels that businesses increasingly tap. His three co-founders come with experience in technology, telecom, and finance.

Consider a consumer who bought a product online but wants to return it to the nearest store. Most retailers would struggle to fulfill such requests and many simply would be forced to throw their hands up. That is because “the different sales channels don’t talk to each other, and current solutions don’t have inventory management,” points out Favre.

Elysee has built a number of products that offer a range of solutions, and integrates with third party software such as Odoo, Infor and Cegid. Odoo, for example, is a comprehensive open source ERP system with over a thousand modules including sales, CRM, project, warehouse and financial management, manufacturing and HR. Infor, on the other hands, can build business applications with last-mile functionality and scientific insights for select industries; and Cegid offers on premise, online, and mobile solutions for industries of varied sizes. All are offered on-site as well as on the cloud.

“Our point of sale solutions allow processing of massive amounts of transactions, and offer mobile interface out of the box,” says Favre. “We also support rival POS systems, broadening the choice for medium businesses and enterprises alike.”

Elysee’s range of services starts with the selection of an appropriate ERP system—typically a touch decision, given the needs, cost, and complexity of implementations.
