Afferentis product
The AI-first ERP platform that chooses, deploys, and runs your ERP for you.
Somatis picks the right open-source ERP for your business, stands it up on your infrastructure, and enables it with governed AI agents, so your team gets an ERP configured to how you actually work, and that keeps getting smarter.
The problem
Choosing and running an ERP is slow, expensive, and risky. Businesses spend months on selection, six-figure budgets on consultants, and still end up with software configured for someone else's workflow: locked into a vendor, hard to change, and blind to their own data.
And the new wave of "AI in your ERP" makes it worse: ungoverned agents wired directly into your books are a compliance incident waiting to happen.
What Somatis does
Somatis treats ERP selection, deployment, and AI-enablement as one intelligent pipeline instead of three painful projects. It interviews your business, recommends the best-fit open-source ERP, provisions the infrastructure, deploys the system, and connects it to AI agents that work inside your rules: every action authorized, logged, and cost-controlled.
You get the flexibility and ownership of open-source ERP with the intelligence of an AI-native platform, and the governance an enterprise actually requires.
What you get
An intelligent layer that selects, deploys, and AI-enables open-source ERP: governed, auditable, and yours.
Answer questions about your business (size, industry, workflows, compliance needs, budget) and Somatis scores every supported ERP against your requirements and recommends the right fit, with the reasoning shown. No sales bias, no guesswork.
Somatis provisions the infrastructure and deploys your ERP, from a single container to a multi-region Kubernetes cluster, with durable, resumable workflows. If something fails, it rolls back cleanly. You approve going live; Somatis does the rest.
Ask questions and give instructions in natural language. Somatis agents answer from your live data, automate repetitive workflows, flag anomalies before they cost you, and help configure the system, all through your ERP, no CSV exports or SQL required.
Every AI action that touches your data is authorized in real time against policy-as-code, runs as the user with least-privilege access, and is written to an immutable audit trail. High-impact actions (deletions, financial postings, permission changes) always route to a human for approval. Designed toward EU AI Act and ISO 42001 expectations from day one.
Somatis agents draw their expertise from your ERP's live code, documentation, schema, and your own customizations, so they stay accurate through every upgrade, without expensive retraining. Smart about your configuration, not a generic model.
Odoo, ERPNext, and more, always on the upstream, unmodified software. Your ERP stays standard and portable; Somatis adds the intelligence around it. Switch or add ERPs without starting over.
Per-team and per-agent token budgets, full cost attribution on every action, and dashboards that show exactly what your AI is spending. No surprise bills, no runaway automation.
Every agent decision, tool call, and cost is traced and correlated with the audit log. You can always answer what the AI did, and why.
How it works
From first conversation to a live, AI-enabled ERP, measured in days, not quarters.
A short conversation captures how your business runs.
Somatis scores the ERPs and shows you the best fit and why.
Infrastructure and ERP are provisioned automatically; you give the final go-live approval.
Governed agents come online, grounded in your data and bounded by your policies.
Who it is for
Somatis serves organizations that want a real ERP with governed AI, without a six-month implementation or vendor lock-in.
