Beyond Vibecoding

As free as vibecoding.As safe as an ERP.

Vibecoding has shown how fast software can be built today. What it does not bring: audited processes, traceability and a system that survives an audit. fabular combines both – 25 years of ERP experience with what AI now makes possible. You describe what your process needs; the platform delivers it on certified modules.

Your starting point

One system, three ways in

Whether you're building with AI, looking for an ERP, or want to automate processes – fabular is the common thread.

New thinking, not new invention: AI-native development on a foundation audited for 25 years.

Problem

Pure AI tools build fast, but without process safety, a permission model or history – what shines in the demo rarely survives its first audit.

Solution

fabAI builds extensions in conversation, directly inside the platform: same permissions, same logging, same audited foundation as every other module.

Claim

As free as vibecoding, as safe as a system with 25 years behind it.

Beyond Vibecoding

The best of both worlds – not half of each

Vibecoding showed how much becomes possible when nothing stands between an idea and its implementation. But hardly any company wants to become a software developer. What is needed are solutions for their own digitalisation – and the freedom to map business processes the way they actually run. That is what fabular is built for: an audited foundation you describe rather than program.

  • Certified modules instead of self-built one-offs
  • Process integrity and auditability out of the box
  • Changes through configuration and low-code – no developer ticket
  • AI that generates screens and reports on request
How the platform is built

The foundation arrives finished

Posting logic, batch handling, evidence requirements and permissions are audited and part of the standard – not your project.

The surface emerges in conversation

Describe custom pages and your own reports in plain words. fabAI builds them, right inside the platform.

Your processes, not the standard process

Your IT adjusts workflows, fields and rules itself. What remains is a system that still takes updates.

The starting point

Three problems every grown system has

They are rarely dramatic. They just cost time, margin and patience every single day – and eventually a certification.

Five systems, five truths

Inventory management, warehouse, accounting and shop each keep their own stock figures. Anyone who wants the real number exports, compares and recalculates – and still does not quite trust the result.

One data foundation for every area. No reconciliation, no interim state.

Numbers that are already yesterday's

The monthly report lands on the twelfth; the decision was due on the third. Deviations in production or purchasing surface once they have already cost money.

Scales, scanners and processes post live. Deviations report themselves.

A standard that does not fit you

Batch tracking, recipes, FEFO, organic certificates, ESG evidence: whatever your industry mandates becomes a custom ticket with a waiting time and an extra budget.

Industry logic is built in. Your IT makes the adjustments itself.

fabular solves all three – as a partner, not as a software supplier. You talk to the same people who build the modules, not to a sales team that hands the work on.

The platform

One platform instead of a system landscape

fabular covers the entire value chain – from reorder proposal through batch to invoice. Every module runs on a shared workflow engine: what happens in production appears in accounting without an interface in between.

  • 20+ modules from CRM and PIM to production planning, warehouse, finance and POS
  • Runs in the cloud, in your own data centre or hybrid
  • Localised for DACH: FinanzOnline, Intrastat, ATLAS, DATEV, BMD
  • Mobile-ready – employee app, driver app, handheld scanners
fabular in detail

One workflow engine

Approvals, escalations and automations are defined once and apply across every module.

Data is created where the work happens

Scale, scanner, tablet or sensor post straight into the ERP – no paper slips, no re-entry.

An open API instead of silos

Over 100 ready-made integrations, plus REST services for whatever comes next.

fabAI

AI that knows your processes

fabAI is not a connected chat service but part of the platform. The language model is embedded and runs on your hardware. That means the AI works on real order, batch and stock data without a single byte leaving the building.

  • Fully on-premises capable, hybrid possible
  • From chat to agent: creates records, builds reports, writes up meetings
  • Your IT defines rights, limits and logging – fully auditable
  • Extensible through your own skills and MCP – as server and as client

Customer voices

What companies say years later

These quotes come from active partnerships, the longest running since 2018.

What impresses us most is how resourceful and forward-thinking the developers are about our requirements – always as equals, with real expertise and a genuine will to find the best solution together. A strong, trusted partner since November 2020, professionally and personally.

Christian Supenkämper

Managing Director, Isarland Ökokiste

The collaboration proved itself during the pandemic: within days we moved from two to three shifts, doubled production capacity and onboarded new staff at short notice.

Gerhard Zoubek

Management, ADAMAH BioHof

The configurability of the platform stands out: our technically skilled IT administrators can make many adjustments independently and immediately. That genuinely moves digitalisation forward.

Emanuel Zeilinger

Head of IT, Multikraft

For transparency and traceability across European soy value chains we rely on fab4minds – from batch certificates through to detailed reporting, with EU requirements in view.

DI Bojan Tomek

Quality Manager, Donau Soja

We can map, plan and control every business process from market garden and retail to delivery service and hospitality – true to our motto, from field to plate.

Stefan Schopf

Managing Director, B2 Biomarkt

Thanks to the flexibility of the product we were able to implement our biodiversity calculator quickly and offer it as an online form. Even complex problems get solved fast.

Helmut Stachowetz-Axmann

Head of IT and Technical Support, Bio Austria

Why fab4minds

A partner, not a supplier

The difference lies not in the software alone but in how the work is done together. Four things our customers name most often.

01

Industry focus, not a reference list

We know your processes before the project starts. More than 25 years in exactly the industries we build for – batches, recipes and evidence requirements are not new ground for us.

02

Configured, not programmed

Your IT makes adjustments itself, without a development ticket and without waiting. What can be set does not have to be commissioned.

03

AI belongs to the platform

fabAI is not a bought-in tool alongside; it works in the same processes and under the same permissions as your colleagues.

04

Grows with your business

From the first module to a group architecture, the same platform. You set the pace, not a licence model.

Consulting

When the question is not yet 'which ERP?'

Some projects begin before the software – with an honest assessment. These two formats have a fixed scope and a written result.

The context

Why this needs a category of its own

Vibecoding tools and classic ERP systems each solve half the task. One side is fast but not auditable; the other is audited but immobile. fabular is designed as a combination of the two.

The comparison describes standard operation in each case. Individual providers cover parts of it – the combination of an audited foundation and free design is the point at issue here.

The point is not that vibecoding is bad – it is real progress. The point is that a company needs both: the freedom to shape its processes itself, and a foundation that holds up at the next audit.

Common questions

What prospects ask first

How is fabular different from SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or Odoo?

fabular is built for mid-sized companies in the DACH region, not for the global market – for production and retail as much as for wholesale, e-commerce, service providers and control bodies. What processes you need is decided by the industry solution, not by the base system. In practice that means industry logic such as batch tracing, recipes or organic certification is standard rather than an add-on, implementation takes months instead of years, and you talk to the same people who build the software. On top of that, fabAI is the only ERP-integrated AI in the DACH region that can run entirely on your own hardware.

What does fabular cost?

Pricing depends on the industry solution, the number of users and the modules you need – a flat rate would be too expensive for one company and unrealistic for another. In the free initial conversation we produce a reliable estimate including implementation effort, so you have a figure before you decide.

Does fabAI really work without the cloud?

Yes. The language model is embedded in fabular and runs on your hardware with no external connection. There are no per-request API costs and no third party seeing your queries. If you prefer cloud models, fabAI can run hybrid – with a clear separation between locally and externally processed data.

Can we keep our existing systems?

Usually yes. fabular ships with more than 100 ready-made integrations, including DATEV, BMD, SAP, Shopify, DHL, DPD, Post, Office 365 and FinanzOnline. Anything else runs through the open REST API. A migration path analysis is part of every consulting conversation – including the question of which legacy systems are genuinely worth keeping.

How long does an implementation take?

Four to twelve months, depending on company size and industry solution. We work with a proven migration method and parallel operation so your daily business does not stall during the switch.

What happens when our processes change?

The usual route is configuration, not programming: your IT administrators adjust workflows, fields, reports and permissions themselves – no developer ticket, no waiting time. We only get involved when genuinely new functionality is needed.
