Paris-based Bonx raises €7.3M to become the AI-powered operational backbone of European manufacturing

Paris-based Bonx, a company that provides an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system based on no-code and graph technologies, has secured $8.6M (nearly €7.33M) in Seed funding.

The round was led by global investment firm 9900 Capital, with participation from Kima Ventures, Purple, OSS Ventures, and Dynamo Ventures.

Capital utilisation

Bonx will allocate the funds as follows: expanding its team across product development and customer support, deepening its AI-powered ERP platform capabilities, and accelerating market penetration in Italy and Spain.

The company has already established a presence in these markets and sees significant demand for its modern operational software solution.

Alexandre Barroux, CEO of Bonx, says, “Our mission remains clear: empower manufacturers to simplify and take control of their operations through technology that adapts to their precise needs. This funding propels us into our next phase – becoming Europe’s definitive ERP leader for mid-sized manufacturers, expanding our successful model from France into new key markets, notably Italy and Spain.”

From OSS Ventures to manufacturing innovation leaders

Alexandre Barroux and Rémi Beges founded Bonx in 2022 within OSS Ventures, a startup studio focused on supporting the industrial sector in its technological and environmental transition. The founders identified that many manufacturers across Europe were still using ERP platforms built for a different era – rigid, opaque, and unable to keep pace with evolving demands.

With Bonx, the founders have developed an ERP platform specifically designed for mid-market manufacturers facing growing technical and operational complexity. The company’s solution combines no-code configuration, advanced AI capabilities, and rapid deployment, enabling manufacturers to digitise operations in weeks rather than years.

Unlike traditional ERP systems that require lengthy implementations and expensive consultants, Bonx allows full rollouts in as little as six to twelve weeks.

The platform addresses a critical need in the European manufacturing sector, where mid-sized factories are challenged by rising global competition, supply chain complexity, and outdated operational systems. Bonx integrates with existing environments, providing visibility and control across production, logistics, procurement, and quality without replacing core finance or CRM systems.

Bonx’s CTO, Beges, says, “By focusing exclusively on manufacturing and supply-chain operations, we’ve built Bonx to integrate effortlessly with existing tools, particularly general ledgers and CRM solutions that our customers already rely on and love. Manufacturers don’t have to replace the systems they’re accustomed to; Bonx complements and enhances their stack and acts as their operational backbone.”

The company’s platform is already being used by a growing number of French manufacturers, including suppliers to Décathlon and emerging brands like French Bloom.

Investor’s confidence

Prior to this Seed round, Bonx raised $1.2M in pre-seed funding from investors including 9900, Dynamo, and Lakestar. The new investment signals confidence in the company’s approach to modernising manufacturing operations.

Juliette Sylvain, Principal at 9900 Capital, says, “Bonx is redefining the ERP landscape by combining extraordinary implementation speeds with genuinely impactful AI-driven capabilities, driving enormous efficiencies within an industry plagued by legacy software. We are excited to support Bonx as it sets a new industry standard and scales across Europe.”

Over time, Bonx aims to become the foundational layer for industrial execution across Europe, offering a new kind of digital infrastructure that scales with production rather than against it.
