abas ERP is enterprise resource planning software for manufacturers, mainly mid-sized firms; the vendor describes it as suited to companies with 50 to 500 employees. It covers purchasing, sales, planning, production, inventory, service and finance, offers dashboards and business-intelligence functions, and connects to machines and other systems through the Abas Connect tool. It is available as a cloud service or for on-premise installation.
The Abas headquarters are in Karlsruhe, Germany. Abas is part of Forterro, a group of European ERP software companies headquartered in London, UK; Forterro's investor page names Partners Group as owner, with Battery Ventures retaining a smaller stake. Abas is proprietary software, not open source. For a European organisation this means a German vendor with a parent group outside the EU, which matters when assessing foreign-authority access to data. The on-premise option allows data to stay on the customer's own infrastructure.
