Custom ERP Development

Custom ERP development built around the way your operation works.

Your team shouldn’t have to reconcile three systems to know where a job stands. Our ERP development services connect sales, operations, and finance around the work you actually do. Keep the tools that work, replace the gaps, and start with one agreed workflow.

Reliable Training operations system. Currently running: Forklift with D. Reyes.
  • One shared operating picture
  • Connected to your existing tools
  • Phased rollout
  • Code owned by you
Where to start

You may not need to replace everything. Keep what works. Connect the gaps. Build a custom ERP where the way you operate calls for one.

Off-the-shelf fits someone else.

Your ERP makes you change how you work. Even after customisation, the real process still runs in workarounds and side spreadsheets.

The costs keep growing. The fit doesn't.

Licences renew, consultants bill, and upgrades mean more fixes. You keep paying for a system that still does not fit the operation.

Your tools don't talk.

Sales, operations, and finance use separate systems. Your team re-enters the same data, chases handoffs, and cannot trust the numbers.

Built by Futur Labs
Reliable Training Services

A training business.
An entire operation,
connected.

Reliable Training ran on forms, calendars, spreadsheets, and bookings handled by hand. We built a custom ERP connecting the work from registration through certification.

The starting point
Separate tools. Manual bookings. A person keeping everything in sync.
What we built
Scheduling, payments, accounting, and certifications in one connected system.
Explore the Reliable Training build
Build only what you need

The ERP modules your operation may need.

Start where disconnected work costs the most time or creates the most risk. Each module connects to the same records, so the system can grow without another layer of re-entry.

  1. Focus
    People & resources
    Connects to
    Google or Outlook calendars, email, and SMS.
    First scope
    A shared schedule for sessions, crews, equipment, or instructors. Bookings and conflict checks in the same place.
    As you grow
    Customer self-service, waitlists, route planning, and additional locations as the operation needs them.
  2. Focus
    Sales to operations
    Connects to
    Website forms, e-signatures, and HubSpot or Salesforce when you keep them.
    First scope
    One customer record from enquiry to quote to booking or job. Operations gets the details without entering them again.
    As you grow
    Corporate or partner portals, repeat orders, approvals, and renewal reminders.
  3. Focus
    Work to cash
    Connects to
    Your payment provider and accounting platform, including Stripe, Helcim, QuickBooks, or Xero.
    First scope
    Payments, deposits, invoices, and their status tied to the customer and the work delivered.
    As you grow
    Payment reminders, recurring billing, approval rules, and reconciliation workflows.
  4. Focus
    Keep accounting connected
    Connects to
    QuickBooks or Xero as the accounting system of record, with mappings reviewed by your finance team.
    First scope
    Connect operational activity to invoices, expenses, and job costs so finance can reconcile the numbers.
    As you grow
    Management reporting and multi-entity workflows. A native ledger or payroll replacement requires separate scoping and accounting validation.
  5. Focus
    Stock & equipment
    Connects to
    Supplier feeds, barcode tools, ecommerce platforms, and existing inventory records.
    First scope
    A shared view of stock or equipment: where it is, what is available, and which job or location needs it.
    As you grow
    Purchasing, maintenance, and multi-site control. Manufacturing planning or regulated traceability needs its own discovery.
  6. Focus
    One operating picture
    Connects to
    The ERP's shared records and the reporting tools your management and finance teams use.
    First scope
    A reliable view of workload, outstanding payments, utilisation, or job status using agreed definitions.
    As you grow
    Exception alerts, forecasting, and practical AI where the underlying data and business case support it.
ERP migration, rollout & adoption

Your business keeps running while the system changes.

  1. 01

    Agree the first workflow

    Map the handoffs and exceptions with the people doing the work. Name the owner and define what a successful first release must do.

  2. 02

    Build a usable first release

    Target the first agreed workflow in 3–4 weeks once access and data are ready. Review working software with your team each week.

  3. 03

    Rehearse the data move

    Map old records to the new system, identify cleanup, and test the migration. Your team checks that the records and totals reconcile.

  4. 04

    Test with the people using it

    Run real tasks, edge cases, permissions, and handoffs. Train the team and agree when parallel operation is needed.

  5. 05

    Make a controlled transition

    Set the cutover window, acceptance checks, and rollback approach. A named decision-maker approves the move into daily use.

  6. 06

    Support, then expand

    Monitor the live workflow and resolve issues. Add the next module against an agreed roadmap once the first is working for the team.

Plan the investment

One model. Sized to your speed.

A senior engineering team on a monthly basis, sized to how fast you want to move. Any tier can build a large ERP: a smaller team works through the roadmap over more months; a larger team moves more of it forward at once. Choose the pace that fits your budget and timeline.

Small team

$7k
a month · steady progress
Timeline

Version one in 3–4 weeks, then weekly releases

Best for

A monthly budget you want to keep steady. Build the full ERP over time, with the backlog delivered in priority order.

Included
  • A working version one in your hands in the first month
  • A release every week, demoed live
  • Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates
  • One 45-minute product call a week; everything else async
  • You own the repo from the first commit
  • Integrations with the tools you already run
  • Data migration and a parallel run before cutover

Growing

$13k
a month · more work moving at once
Timeline

Version one in 3–4 weeks, then a release every week with two things moving at once

Best for

More capacity to bring the same roadmap forward. Keep the build moving while integrations and migration progress alongside it.

Included
  • A working version one in your hands in the first month
  • A release every week, demoed live
  • Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates
  • One 45-minute product call a week; everything else async
  • You own the repo from the first commit
  • Integrations with the tools you already run
  • Data migration and a parallel run before cutover

Scale

$18k+
a month · faster delivery in parallel
Timeline

Version one in 3–4 weeks, then parallel releases against one data model

Best for

A tighter delivery window. Move several workstreams forward together, with a larger team working against one roadmap.

Included
  • A working version one in your hands in the first month
  • A release every week, demoed live
  • Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates
  • One 45-minute product call a week; everything else async
  • You own the repo from the first commit
  • Integrations with the tools you already run
  • Data migration and a parallel run before cutover

Three-month minimum, thirty days' notice. You own the code from the first commit.

Ownership & ongoing operation

A system you can keep building on.

Your code and your data

You own the repository from the first commit. We document the system and the decisions behind it so the knowledge stays with the business.

Clear control of the accounts

Agree where the system runs, who holds the credentials, and who manages each integration. Access and a handover plan are part of the setup.

Support after the rollout

Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates are included while we work together. We agree the support responsibilities as the system moves into daily use.

Access that fits the operation

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.

Questions & Answers

Clear answers
for complex builds.

Clear answers on timelines, pricing, ownership, and what shipping actually looks like with a senior engineering team.

  • Up front, sometimes. Over five years, almost never, once you count per-seat licenses, consultant hours, and the workarounds. The difference with us is there's no six-figure quote to sign off on: you pay a monthly engineering team from $7k a month, get a working version one within the first month, and stop after the three-month minimum whenever the system is done. We'll model the comparison for your specific case before you commit.

  • Monthly engineering capacity: Small team at $7k, Growing at $13k, and Scale from $18k a month. Any tier can build a large ERP. The difference is how much moves at once and how long the roadmap takes. We match the pace to your budget and timeline, with weekly releases, code ownership from the first commit, and a three-month minimum.

  • One call to pick the workflow that hurts most. Then we build. By week three or four there's a version one running on your data, and from there the software drives the conversation: you use it, tell us what's wrong or missing, and we ship the fix that week. No scoping documents to read, nothing to approve on paper.

  • It goes into next week's release. There's no scope to protect, so 'what about this?' is always yes. Capacity is the only boundary: a long backlog means we ship in order. If you want more speed, that's the next tier, your call, in writing, before anything changes.

  • Source by source. We map every spreadsheet, QuickBooks entity, and legacy table to the new model, run the migration against real exports until the numbers reconcile, then run old and new in parallel for a defined window before cutover. You never lose a record and you never go dark.

  • It's yours. We write clean, documented, testable code in the frameworks the industry already runs on — no proprietary runtime, no lock-in. We'll do a full handover with documentation and a walkthrough. Most clients keep us on, but you're never trapped.

  • Version one is in your hands in three to four weeks. Not a document, not a prototype: a working system on your real data that your team can click through and react to. After that we ship every week, and a full multi-module system usually lands in three to eight months depending on the tier.

  • Yes. We do integrations every day. QuickBooks, Stripe, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, custom APIs — if there's an API or a CSV export, we can wire it in. Many of our ERP builds are mostly integration work plus a clean UI on top.

  • When you customize NetSuite or SAP, you're paying license fees forever and fighting against the platform's assumptions. With custom ERP, your business logic is the code — not a 200-page configuration document. We build only the modules you actually need, and you own the system outright.

  • We're a full ERP development company. We build from scratch; we don't configure NetSuite or SAP and call it done. That covers the whole system: data model, integrations, reporting, permissions, and handover. If the platform's assumptions don't match your workflow, customization is a ceiling; a custom build isn't.

  • Full lifecycle, not just code: discovery and workflow mapping, the build, integrations with the tools you keep, data migration with a parallel run before cutover, reporting, and permissions — then hosting and support once it's live. Some vendors sell 'custom ERP solutions' that stop at the demo. We stay on as your engineering team until it's doing real work in production.

  • Yes. We built Agency ERP for our own ops — projects, billing, capacity, client work. And we built Reliable Training, a full multi-module ERP for an equipment-operator training business (scheduling, registration, payments, instructor rosters, accounting). Both are running in production today.

  • Classic examples are NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics — large, generalized platforms companies configure to fit their business. A custom ERP example looks different: our own Agency ERP runs projects, billing, and capacity for our team, and Reliable Training is a custom ERP we built for an equipment-operator training business, covering scheduling, registration, payments, and accounting in one system.

  • ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning — software that unifies core business processes (finance, inventory, projects, HR, CRM) into one connected system instead of a dozen disconnected tools. “Custom ERP” means that system is built around your specific workflow instead of a rigid off-the-shelf template.

  • ERP software development is building the system that runs a company's core operations — scheduling, sales, finance, inventory — as one connected platform instead of a dozen disconnected tools. It covers discovery, the data model, integrations with what you keep, and migration from whatever you're replacing. 'Custom' just means that system is built around your actual workflow instead of a vendor's template.

  • Yes. A modular ERP starts with one agreed workflow, then adds modules against the same shared records. Scheduling, customer records, payments, and reporting can grow together while you keep the tools that already work.

  • Hosting, monitoring, backups, and security updates are included while we work together. We agree who handles support and each integration, then keep improving the ERP against your roadmap. If you take over, we prepare a documented handover.

  • We define who can see, change, and approve information, then plan permissions, audit trails, backups, and recovery around your operation. Specialist requirements are reviewed with your team before the relevant workflow is built.
