ERP Implementation
Give one department a shared application for its requests, records and decisions. We build the workflow, permissions and reporting it needs, with connections to finance, ERP or other systems as the scope grows.
The starting point
It works until that person is on leave, and there is no record of who changed what or why.
A shared file has no concept of a role. Access ends up managed by asking people not to look.
What the work includes
We map a complete departmental task and agree the records, roles and decisions involved. The first release provides a shared workflow that the team can review. Migration and connections are planned so the application can become part of the wider operation.
Explore the delivery processStatuses, handoffs and exceptions as that team runs them, including the informal steps that never made it into any process document.
What each role can see, edit and approve, defined during design rather than bolted on after somebody sees a record they should not have.
Multi-step approvals with delegation and escalation, so work does not stop because one person is away.
Who changed what, when, and what the value was before. This is usually the reason the spreadsheet has to go.
The handful of numbers this department is measured on, generated from live records.
Take a request from entry to decision. Define who creates it, what information is required, who approves it and how the team handles a returned request. Include the view a manager needs to see work waiting for attention.
This gives rapid application development a contained starting point. Your team can review a whole task before more departments or integrations enter the scope. Incoming document capture can be assessed separately from approval rules and permissions.
Review which spreadsheet history needs migration, which records need correction and how the team will compare results during a parallel run. Agree when the old record becomes read-only.
Workflow automation can route work between people. When several departments need a common operational record, the application can become part of a wider ERP implementation.
We walk your current workflow with the people who run it and record where work stalls, duplicates or waits.
A fixed price and a dated plan, issued after discovery. Payment runs against milestones.
Review the proposed workflow, interfaces and data requirements before implementation. The design work follows the scope of the project.
Implement the agreed scope in short cycles, review the changes and test the behaviour with representative records and exceptions.
Test the required connections, confirm acceptance with your team and release according to the agreed rollout plan.
The team that built it handles updates, integrations and support calls after go-live.
Projects here typically run between USD 7,500 and USD 15,000 or above, depending on scope. We quote a fixed price after discovery and bill against milestones.
Fits when: Scope is clear and agreed after discovery
Billing: Milestone payments against a dated plan
Fits when: Scope will evolve, and you want capacity reserved
Billing: Monthly, per named engineer
Fits when: The system is live and needs changes and cover
Billing: Monthly, with an agreed response window
Scope. An ERP spans departments and makes them share one version of the truth. A line of business application serves one department deeply. Many clients start here and connect to an ERP later, which is a much easier sequence than the reverse.
Yes, and it should be designed expecting to. We define the data boundaries during design so a later connection to finance or an ERP is a piece of integration work rather than a rewrite.
Down to field level where the workflow needs it, so a role can see a record without seeing the pricing on it. Granularity has a cost in complexity, so we set it from real requirements rather than making everything configurable.
A short parallel run can help the team compare results before switching over. Agree which system owns the record, how differences will be reconciled and when the spreadsheet becomes read-only so updates do not diverge.
It gets migrated where it is clean enough to be trusted, and archived read-only where it is not. Deciding which is which is a conversation with the team rather than a technical judgement we make alone.
Custom software vs off-the-shelf comparisons are usually written by a company that sells one of the two. Here's a decision table instead of a pitch.
Custom software development cost estimates online can vary by 10 times for similar projects. Here are the four things that actually move your number.
ERP vs CRM, a plain comparison of what each system actually owns, which one solves your current bottleneck first, and how to connect them later.
Bring a request, the rules it follows and the records your team keeps. We can map the application and its connections before extending the scope.
