OpenClaw and Exact Online: open-source ERP automation
OpenClaw is an open-source AI client that puts you in complete control. Unlike proprietary AI assistants, OpenClaw lets you customise every aspect of how your AI interacts with Exact Online — from the user interface to the workflow logic. If your business has specific requirements that off-the-shelf solutions cannot meet, OpenClaw is the answer.
Via Ledger Botje and the MCP protocol, OpenClaw connects to your Exact Online administration with the same tools and capabilities as any other MCP-compatible assistant.
OpenClaw: full control over your ERP automation
The open-source nature of OpenClaw opens up possibilities that closed platforms simply cannot offer:
- Custom workflows — build automated sequences that match your exact business processes. For example: trigger a stock check every morning, generate a reorder list and email it to the purchasing team — all without manual intervention.
- Self-hosted option — run OpenClaw on your own infrastructure for maximum data control. Combined with Ledger Botje, your ERP queries never touch third-party AI servers.
- Plugin ecosystem — extend OpenClaw with community-built plugins or write your own to add features specific to your industry.
- Full transparency — the source code is open, so you can audit exactly what happens with your data and how queries are processed.
This makes OpenClaw the preferred choice for IT departments, tech-savvy businesses and organisations with strict control requirements.

Full setup instructions are available in the MCP setup guide.
Example questions
OpenClaw supports all the same MCP tools. Try these:
- "Show all sales orders from this week with customer names and order totals."

- "Give me a summary of warehouse transfers completed today."
- "Create a purchase order at supplier ElektroParts for 200 units of item EP-100."
