Vendor ParagonERP
Description For over 35 years, Montreal has been the heart of the Canadian apparel industry—and since 1986, Jonar Systems has been at the center of its technological evolution. Today, ParagonERP represents the next generation of that legacy: a feature-complete, true multi-tenant SaaS platform designed specifically for the complexities of the modern fashion wholesaler and manufacturer.

While our roots are firmly planted in Montreal’s Chabanel district, ParagonERP has spent the last decade proving its scalability on the international stage. We have combined our deep industry domain expertise with a modern, API-first architecture that eliminates the "passive decay" of legacy systems.

Why ParagonERP for your clients?.

Modern Ecosystem Integration: Our platform features a best-in-class Shopify integration, built-in WMS, and a sophisticated rules engine that provides enterprise-level governance without the overhead of traditional systems.

Total Data Transparency: Through ParagonBI (powered by Google BigQuery), we provide wholesalers with real-time decision-making capabilities, moving them away from siloed data and toward true operational intelligence.

At ParagonERP, we don't just sell software; we deliver successful implementations built on decades of local experience. We understand that in the apparel world, your ERP is the backbone of your customer experience. Our mission is to ensure that your clients’ technology becomes a competitive advantage, not a limitation.
