Case Study: BCX achieves 5x faster ERP development and 50% software license savings with OutSystems

BCX Builds ERP System Five Times Faster and Gains Business Agility Advantage

BCX, an ICT solutions provider, was struggling with an inflexible legacy inventory system that caused inventory and billing disputes across thousands of customer sites. Users routinely worked around the system’s limitations, leading to reporting errors, lease write-offs and a lack of development capacity—so BCX’s R&D team was tasked with finding a faster, more flexible solution.

By adopting OutSystems, three developers built a modern inventory app in one weekend that expanded into BOSS, a company-wide ERP with mobile, CPQ and workflow capabilities (with development support from partner JustSolve). The platform delivered a fivefold increase in development speed, halved software licensing costs, reduced staffing needs (achieving with 3–5 devs what once would have required 9–12), cut complex order setup from two hours to 10 minutes, and significantly lowered installation time and costs—giving BCX improved visibility, agility and sustained cost savings.
