AvanSaber Is Building an AI-Native ERP That Sets Itself Up Through Conversation

Traditional ERP implementations are one of the most painful investments a growing business can make. The average mid-market deployment costs between $50,000 and $500,000, takes 6 to 18 months, and requires a team of implementation consultants just to configure the system. By the time everything is live, the business has already outgrown the setup. AvanSaber, a San Antonio-based enterprise software company, is building something that skips all of that.

The Problem No One Has Fixed

Enterprise resource planning software has been around for decades. SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and QuickBooks dominate the market at different price points. But they all share the same fundamental problem. Setting them up requires technical knowledge, configuration wizards, and often a consulting engagement. A dentist who wants to track patients, billing, and insurance claims should not need to hire an ERP consultant. A construction company managing bids, prevailing wages, and project costs should not need a 90-day implementation timeline.

Small and mid-size businesses are stuck in a gap. Consumer-grade tools like QuickBooks are too simple. Enterprise systems like NetSuite are too complex and too expensive. There is no middle ground that gives you real ERP capabilities without the real ERP price tag and setup pain.

What ERPClaw Does Differently

ERPClaw, AvanSaber’s flagship product, takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of configuration screens and setup wizards, users describe their business in plain language. Tell the system you run a dental practice in Portland, and it identifies your industry, installs the right modules, sets up your chart of accounts, configures tax templates, and gets you operational. The entire process takes a single conversation.

The platform currently supports 14 industry verticals including healthcare, education, construction, legal, retail, agriculture, automotive, food service, hospitality, and nonprofit. Each vertical comes with industry-specific workflows, compliance requirements, and reporting built in. A veterinary clinic gets different modules than a construction firm, and the system figures that out from the conversation.

ERPClaw also recently got approved for an official Stripe integration to the Stripe App Marketplace. The integration connects payment processing directly to the general ledger, automatically syncs transactions, reconciles payouts, and generates financial reports. All triggered through natural language. A user says “I process payments through Stripe” and the system handles the rest.

The Numbers Behind the Product

The platform today includes 47 modules, over 3,000 business operations, and 789 database tables. The engineering team has built more than 9,600 automated tests that validate everything from accounting integrity to module structure. These are not demo numbers. This is production software with real financial logic, real double-entry accounting, and real compliance controls.

AvanSaber has also filed three patent applications with the USPTO in 2026, covering the core architecture, the deployment safety system, and the conversational onboarding method. For a company at this stage, three Patent Pending applications signals serious long-term commitment to the technology.

The Team

AvanSaber was co-founded by Varun Borawake, who serves as CEO, and Nikhil Jathar, who serves as CTO. Borawake leads the business strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market efforts. Jathar designed and built the technical architecture behind ERPClaw, including the patent-pending systems that power the product.

The company currently has a team of 20 and is growing. The product was built using modern AI-assisted development workflows, which allowed the team to ship at a pace that would typically require a much larger engineering organization. To maintain quality at that pace, the team open-sourced a Claude Code plugin called TailTest (https://www.tailtest.com) that automatically generates and runs tests every time the agent edits a file. ERPClaw’s 9,600 automated tests were built and maintained using this workflow.

What Is Next

Beyond Stripe, AvanSaber has 15 additional integrations on the roadmap, including payroll providers, tax platforms, banking APIs, and CRM systems.

Jathar has also submitted an academic paper to the IRI-2026 conference, documenting the technical architecture behind ERPClaw. Open source components of the platform are available on GitHub under the AvanSaber organization.

“Enterprise software should not require an enterprise to set up,” said Nikhil Jathar, CTO of AvanSaber. “We built ERPClaw so that any business owner can describe what they do and have a fully operational system in minutes, not months.”
