Solution

One operational core instead of ten disconnected tools

An ERP is not a purchase, it is an operating model. We build the modules your business actually uses, in the order that pays back first, rather than delivering a two-year programme before anyone sees value.

Outcomes

  • One record of stock, cost and margin
  • Month-end shortened, not extended
  • Processes enforced instead of remembered
  • Modules delivered in phases with value each time

Solution

Where it is used

Distribution ERP

Catalogue, pricing, stock, purchasing and B2B ordering.

Project ERP

Budgets, subcontractors, site costs and live margin.

Production ERP

Bills of material, work orders and capacity.

What we deliver

  • Order to cash
  • Purchase to pay
  • Stock and warehouse
  • Production planning
  • Finance integration and reporting
  • Role and approval workflows

Integrations

Accounting packagesWarehouse hardwareCarrier and logistics APIsE-commerce platformsPayment providers

Who this is for

  • Manufacturers, distributors and contractors whose operating model does not match a standard ERP
  • Companies running three or four disconnected systems that each hold part of the truth
  • Businesses where an ERP implementation has stalled or been abandoned

When this is the wrong choice

  • Standard financial accounting — keep an established accounting product and integrate with it
  • Companies without a clearly owned process; ERP amplifies organisational confusion

Problems this solves

Stock, orders and finance disagree

Three systems, three answers. An ERP core with one authoritative record per entity ends the reconciliation meetings.

Costing is guesswork

Without true job, batch or route costing, margin is known only after the quarter closes.

Packaged ERP fits badly

Heavy customisation of a large ERP is expensive, upgrade-hostile and often less capable than a focused custom core.

Architecture and integration

  • One authoritative record per entity, with integrations reading from it rather than mirroring it.
  • Accounting integration to an established ledger product rather than rebuilding statutory accounting.
  • Document generation — orders, delivery notes, invoices — templated and versioned, with local tax requirements handled.
  • Full audit trail and period locking so historic numbers cannot silently change.

How delivery runs

  1. 01

    Operating model mapping

    Order to cash, procure to pay, and production or fulfilment paths documented with their exceptions.

  2. 02

    Module prioritisation

    We start with the module that removes the most manual work, not with the accounting module by default.

  3. 03

    Phased go-live

    One area at a time, with the rest of the business undisturbed and the old process available as fallback.

  4. 04

    Costing and reporting

    Management reporting is built with finance during the project, not requested afterwards.

Realistic timeline

Weeks 1–5

Operating model, scope, architecture, phased plan.

Months 2–7

Module-by-module build and go-live.

Final phase

Costing, reporting, decommission of replaced systems.

Build or buy

Buy something existing when

  • A sector-standard ERP covers your processes with light configuration
  • You are willing to change process to match the product

Build custom when

  • Your production, pricing or fulfilment model is the differentiator
  • Previous ERP customisation costs exceeded the licence
  • You need a lean core that integrates rather than a suite you use a fraction of

A hybrid is common and often the right answer: keep an accounting product, build the operational core around it.

What moves the price

Number of modules

Stock plus purchasing plus production plus costing is four subsystems, each with its own edge cases.

Multi-entity and multi-currency

Several legal entities, currencies or warehouses multiply the rules and reporting.

Migration of open transactions

Cutting over with open orders, part-shipments and WIP is the hardest part of any ERP project.

Where projects go wrong

Cutting over everything at once

Phased go-live per area keeps the business trading if something goes wrong.

Underestimating data

Stock accuracy and supplier data quality decide whether go-live is calm or chaotic. Start cleansing in month one.

No finance sponsor

ERP without finance involved from the start produces numbers finance will not sign.

Indicative budget

from
€90,000
typical
€150,000 – €600,000

Phased delivery means the first module costs a fraction of the total.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Is custom ERP realistic against SAP or Dynamics?+

For mid-sized operators with unusual processes, frequently yes — especially once licence, partner and customisation costs are counted over five years.

Can we keep our accounting system?+

Usually the right call. We integrate rather than rebuild finance.
