The Custom ERP Process

ERPs built around your operations, not the other way around.

Generic ERPs (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle) force your operations into their boxes. Custom ERP flips that — software models your actual workflow. For complex operations, the ROI is measured in millions saved.

1

Operations discovery

Weeks 1-6

Interview operators in every department, map workflows end-to-end, identify waste + friction, inventory integrations + data sources, compliance scoping.

2

Data model + modules

Weeks 7-8

Master data model (customers / products / inventory / orders / finance), module boundaries, integration architecture, security + permission model.

3

Modular build

Weeks 9-28

Inventory + purchasing + sales orders + manufacturing + finance + HR modules, built + deployed incrementally. Each module in production as soon as it's validated.

4

Rollout + optimization

Week 29+

Phased module adoption, operator training per department, data migration, continuous-improvement sprints, quarterly operational reviews.

What's Included

A complete operational backbone.

Inventory, purchasing, sales, manufacturing, finance, HR — all integrated.

01

Core ERP modules

Inventory + warehousing, purchasing + receiving, sales + order management, manufacturing + production, accounting + finance, HR + payroll — all custom.

02

Reporting + BI

Operational dashboards, financial statements, manufacturing throughput reports, inventory-aging analytics, forecasting models. Integrated with Looker / Hex / Power BI.

03

Integration + APIs

EDI with suppliers + customers, QuickBooks / Xero / NetSuite accounting sync, Shopify / BigCommerce for ecommerce, tax engines (Avalara / TaxJar), payroll platforms.

04

Mobile + field tools

Warehouse-floor apps with barcode scanning, field-service mobile apps, delivery driver apps, shop-floor production tracking, all integrated into core ERP.

Who Needs Custom ERP

Built for mid-enterprise operations at scale.

Custom ERP only makes sense for $50M+ revenue operations where off-the-shelf ERP costs exceed custom build costs, or where your operational model is a differentiator.

Manufacturing

Complex production workflows, BOM management, multi-stage assemblies, quality control, supplier chain integration. NetSuite + SAP often don't fit.

Logistics + Distribution

3PLs, warehousing companies, last-mile delivery. Real-time inventory across multiple DCs, driver dispatch, customer portals.

Healthcare Networks

Multi-facility clinics, DMEs, medical distributors. Inventory of medical products, compliance tracking, patient + provider workflows integrated.

Multi-Channel Retail

Brands with retail + wholesale + ecommerce + B2B channels. Unified inventory + pricing + fulfillment across all channels requires custom orchestration.

Our Software Stack

Boring technology. Exciting outcomes.

Deliberately narrow, battle-tested stack — same tooling that powers Shopify, Notion, Linear, and Vercel.

Custom ERP, answered honestly.

Why not just use NetSuite or SAP?

For most mid-market companies: use them. Custom ERP pays off when NetSuite + SAP cost exceeds $500K/year in licenses + consultants, OR when your operations are genuinely unique. We've seen both paths succeed; we recommend based on your situation.

How long does custom ERP take?

MVP ($300-600K): 6-9 months, 2-3 core modules. Full ERP ($600K-$2M): 12-24 months, all modules. Enterprise ($2M+): 24-36 months, multi-site deployment, complex integrations.

What about data migration?

Always the hardest part. We do 4-8 weeks of data-mapping + cleansing before go-live. Historical data preserved, incremental sync during transition, rollback plans documented.

How do you handle accounting compliance?

GAAP + IFRS support, audit trails, tax calculation (Avalara / TaxJar), financial statement generation, sync to QuickBooks / Xero / NetSuite if accounting stays external. Compliance baked in, not bolted on.

Can we adopt incrementally?

Yes — standard approach. One module in production before next starts. Typical rollout: inventory → purchasing → sales → manufacturing → finance over 12-18 months. Avoids big-bang failures.
