Exvee ERP — a 20+ year mature platform
Exvee ERP doesn't build ERP from scratch. We're built on a battle-tested open-source core proven across thousands of businesses globally, then fully Vietnamese-localized, customized, and deployed for Vietnamese SMEs. This approach gives you enterprise-grade ERP at a fraction of the cost and time compared to SAP / Oracle / Microsoft.
What is the Exvee ERP platform?
It's a complete enterprise ERP system with a 20+ year mature core — descended from the first generation of global open-source ERPs. Unlike non-mature ERP solutions or closed SaaS, the Exvee ERP platform lets you self-host on your own server, customize without limits, and permanently own all the code.
You don't pay monthly license fees — only a one-time implementation fee plus optional maintenance. After go-live, your business is fully self-sufficient on data, process, and cost.
Why Exvee ERP for Vietnamese SMEs?
6 technical reasons this platform fits Vietnamese businesses better than alternatives (ERPNext, Odoo, OpenBravo, SAP Business One).
Application Dictionary architecture
Every UI, validation, and workflow is defined in the Application Dictionary (AD) — metadata tables in the database. Customize without touching Java code, just edit the AD and deploy. This is a unique feature you won't find in other open-source ERPs.
Multi-entity + parallel ledgers
A single instance manages multiple subsidiaries with auto-consolidated reporting. Supports multiple parallel ledgers: Tax book + VAS + IFRS — essential for FDI businesses or those needing international audit.
OSGi modular architecture
Modules as OSGi bundles — toggle each independently, no full redeploys. Your custom plugins don't conflict with the core during version upgrades.
GPLv2 — permanently free
No "Community Edition" vs paid "Enterprise Edition" gating (unlike Odoo). Every feature is forever free. You can fork, modify, redistribute internally within your business.
Java + PostgreSQL stack
Built on Java EE and PostgreSQL — industry-standard enterprise-grade stack. Stable performance for businesses with 100+ concurrent users. Easy to find Java developers in VN for long-term maintenance.
Built-in BI + workflow engine
Includes Jasper Reports for reporting and a workflow engine for multi-level approval processes — no need for additional tools to cover 80% of basic needs.
Exvee's Vietnamese Localization & Customization
The base platform supports multiple languages and accounting standards, but doesn't ship with VN-ready configuration. This is what we've invested in building — to make it deployable in Vietnam right away.
🇻🇳 Full Vietnamese UI translation
All menus, labels, messages, tooltips, and validation messages translated to enterprise-standard Vietnamese. Reports and printed forms follow VN format conventions.
📒 Chart of accounts per Circular 200/133

🧾 E-invoicing per Decree 123 / Circular 78
Integrated with popular VN e-invoice providers (Viettel, VNPT, MISA, M-Invoice). Issue invoices from inside the system, auto digital signing, push data to Tax Authority.
💰 Full VN payroll
Dedicated VN payroll module: base salary + allowances + bonus, Social Insurance / Health / Unemployment per current ceiling/floor, progressive PIT with dependents, Trade Union fees + dues. Exports C2-TS file per Social Insurance template.
📊 VN-standard reporting
Full set of financial statements per Circular 200: Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow, Notes. VAT 01/GTGT declaration, Social Insurance C2-TS reports, detailed ledger forms per VN accounting regulation.
🔌 VN bank + marketplace integrations

📜 Technical lineage & core transparency Click to expand
Since transparency is one of Exvee's core values, we're upfront about the platform's technical lineage:
The Exvee ERP core is built on iDempiere — a free open-source ERP project under continuous development since 2011. iDempiere inherits the lineage of Compiere (1999) → ADempiere (2006), totaling more than 20 years of continuous development. This isn't a hobby project — iDempiere has an active business community, with deployments in Indonesia, India, Brazil, Spain, and now spreading to VN.
GPLv2 license → our customers permanently own all the code (both core and Vietnamese localization layer). You can fork, modify, redistribute internally within your business freely. If one day you want to switch vendors or self-maintain, the code is yours — no vendor lock-in.
We call the product "Exvee ERP" rather than "iDempiere" because the value you receive isn't just the open-source core — it includes the full Vietnamese localization, customization for VN compliance (Circular 200/133, Decree 123, Social Insurance), VN bank + marketplace integrations, implementation methodology, and direct founder support.
