ERP, AI and custom software for Tunisian industry

Lexa supports Tunisian industrial SMEs in digitalising their production, tracing their batches and automating their quality control: food, textile, mechanical, plastics, automotive and beyond.

Tunisian manufacturing combines several export-oriented sectors and a growing base of subcontracting SMEs. OEM requirements, regulatory traceability and margin pressure demand an information system that speaks to the shop floor as well as to accounting. Lexa addresses this need with an ERP, AI agents and custom software adapted to Tunisian industrial realities.

The problems we address

The recurring pain points that sector SMEs face, and the concrete impact they have on the business.

  • Production tracked on Excel or paper

    Entry errors, stale data, decisions made without real visibility on the shop floor.

  • Poorly valued and unsynchronised stock

    Shortages on critical items, overstock tying up cash, recurring inventory discrepancies.

  • No real-time visibility on progress

    Customer deadlines met by luck, corrective decisions taken too late, conflicts between sales and production.

  • Manual and costly quality control

    Inspection variability between operators, defects detected downstream, avoidable customer returns.

  • Non-communicating business tools

    Double entry between production, accounting and sales, lost productivity, data siloed by department.

  • Painful month-end reporting

    Several days to close, sometimes-disputed figures, steering by feel rather than by indicators.

Three complementary pillars, designed to address the sector's needs end to end: ERP as the central system, AI for automation, and custom development to fill in the rest.

    Our team visits your industrial site to scope processes with your shop-floor managers. Support in French and Arabic, with no intermediary between you and the vendor.

  • Built-in Tunisian tax compliance

    Tunisian chart of accounts, compliant invoice formats, CNSS declarations, local bank integrations: all delivered by default, not developed project by project.

Frequently asked questions — industry sector

The questions the sector's managers ask us most often.

For a Tunisian industrial SME, the choice comes down to four structuring criteria: the richness of production modules (MRP, routings, traceability), data sovereignty (hosting in Tunisia or on your infrastructure), the quality of local support in French, and total cost over five years. Lexa ERP, built on Odoo, covers these four criteria with pre-configured production modules, hosting in Tunisia by default, a team in Tunis and a one-time-licence model with annual maintenance.
