“Can a long-established regional ERP keep its SMB base across SE Europe by digitising the back office (eInvoice, eDocumentation, cloud hosting) through local contractor partnerships rather than embedded fintech rails?”
Founded in 1997 in Ljubljana after the bankruptcy of PC vendor Gekko, Datalab built HERMES and then its flagship PANTHEON ERP targeting SMEs across South-East Europe. Over 25+ years it has become the regional No. 1 ERP in its segment, selling through subsidiaries and partners in SI, HR, BiH, MK, RS, KS, AL, ME, BG. Its product footprint is classic ERP — accounting, payroll, inventory, retail/POS, manufacturing, vertical granules — with eBusiness add-ons (DMS, eInvoice, ePosting) delivered by third-party Slovenian contractors (ZZI, Algoritmik, Telekom Slovenije) rather than embedded fintech rails.
PANTHEON (Datalab) was founded by Andrej Mertelj and Tomaž Teyrovsky and is founded in 1997, headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
