Openbravo

Openbravo is a Spanish software company headquartered in Pamplona, Spain, that develops cloud-based software primarily for retail organizations.The company originally developed open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for multiple industries before shifting its focus to retail solutions.

== History == Openbravo's roots are in the development of business administration software, first developed by Nicolas Serrano and Ismael Ciordia, employees of the University of Navarra in the mid-1990s who used emerging internet technologies in their work, and later applied web-based technologies to the development of business administration software. Their concept was realized in a new company called Tecnicia, founded in August 2001 by Serrano, Ciordia, and Aguinaga. In 2005, two management consultants, Manel Sarasa and Josep Mitjá, were asked by a venture capital company to evaluate Tecnicia and prepare a business plan for its evolution. In 2006, the two consultants joined Tecnicia as the CEO and COO, respectively. Around the same time the Spanish investment company Sodena invested US$6.4 million in the further development of the company.
