An order changes. The schedule, materials, and promised date need to change with it. Connect the office and production floor around the same work orders, while keeping the systems your team depends on.
Start where the handoff breaks down. Keep what works. Connect the records, decisions, and people that move the work forward.
A rush order changes the plan, but purchasing and the floor are still working from yesterday's version.
Available stock, allocated parts, and supplier dates sit in separate places. The shortage appears when the job starts.
Labour, scrap, and material changes reach finance too late to see which orders need attention.
Explore a starting point for manufacturing. These are possible workflows to assess against your actual systems, rather than a fixed package of modules.
Planners are matching orders, machine time, and available people by hand.
An approved order becomes a work order. Planning checks capacity and materials before publishing a release date.
Schedule changes, late starts, and time spent reconciling the plan.
Purchasing sees stock totals but cannot see what open jobs have already committed.
Reserve materials against one work order, surface a shortage, and send a purchase request for review.
Material shortages, stock adjustments, and jobs waiting on purchasing.
Production progress and costs only come together in the month-end spreadsheet.
Record completed quantities and actual usage, check exceptions, and pass reviewed costs to finance.
Time to close a job, missing costs, and variance against the estimate.
Start at the operational layer around existing machines, MES, and accounting. Equipment access, planning constraints, and quality requirements need discovery before selecting the integration or release approach.
The ERP can connect the gaps around your current tools. We agree which system owns each record, what can move between them, and who resolves a failed update.
Connections to assess
Availability depends on provider access, permissions, data quality, and the workflow we agree.
A connected operation in practice
Reliable Training is a training-business client build. It shows how scheduling, payments, and records can connect around one operation; your industry workflow would be scoped separately.
Reliable Training ran on forms, calendars, spreadsheets, and bookings handled by hand. We built a custom ERP connecting the work from registration through certification.
Map the handoffs with your team. Plan production may be a starting point; agree the owner, scope, and success checks before building.
Review working software each week. Target the agreed first workflow in 3–4 weeks once scope, access, and data are ready.
Map source records, identify cleanup, and test the migration. Your team checks the records and totals against the original systems.
Run real tasks, exceptions, permissions, and handoffs. Train the team and agree whether parallel operation is needed.
Set the cutover window, acceptance checks, and rollback approach. A named decision-maker approves the move into daily use.
Monitor the live workflow, resolve issues, and review the results. Add the next module against an agreed roadmap.
A senior engineering team on a monthly basis, sized to how fast you want to move. Any tier can work through the same ERP roadmap. A smaller team takes more months; a larger team moves more of it forward at once.
An agreed first release, then weekly progress
Work through the full roadmap in priority order at a steady monthly budget.
An agreed first release, then weekly progress
Add capacity to move the build, integrations, and rollout forward together.
An agreed first release, then weekly progress
Bring more of the same roadmap forward with parallel workstreams and one delivery plan.
Three-month minimum, thirty days' notice. You own the code from the first commit.
You own the repository from the first commit. We document the system and the decisions behind it so the knowledge stays with the business.
Agree where the system runs, who holds the credentials, and who manages each integration. Access and a handover plan are part of the setup.
Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates are included while we work together. We agree the support responsibilities as the system moves into daily use.
Define who can see, change, and approve information. Plan permissions, audit trails, and recovery around your requirements, with specialist review where the workflow needs it.
Clear answers on timelines, pricing, ownership, and what shipping actually looks like with a senior engineering team.
Start with a handoff your team can describe and measure. For example: An approved order becomes a work order. Planning checks capacity and materials before publishing a release date. We review the existing tools, exceptions, and data before agreeing the first release.
No. We compare keeping, connecting, and replacing each part of the workflow. If a packaged platform already covers the work well, we can build the missing integration or operational layer around it. A custom ERP becomes useful when shared records and business-specific processes need to work together.
Start at the operational layer around existing machines, MES, and accounting. Equipment access, planning constraints, and quality requirements need discovery before selecting the integration or release approach.
We map the source records, test the move, and ask your team to check the results. The rollout starts with an agreed workflow and group of users, with acceptance checks and a rollback approach. Further modules follow once the first release is working in daily use.
The monthly team starts at $7k, with $13k and $18k+ options for more capacity. Any tier can work through the same roadmap; more capacity changes how much can move at once. Total investment depends on the scope, dependencies, and number of months. There is a three-month minimum.
You own the code from the first commit. Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates are included while we work together. We document the system, agree account ownership and support responsibilities, and plan a handover if another team takes over.
Show us the handoff, the spreadsheet, or the system your team works around. We’ll discuss what to keep, what to connect, and a useful first release.
