Isometric industrial operation in light lines: warehouse, conveyors and connected modules

A custom ERP, built around your operation.

An ERP is not software you buy and switch on. It is the decision to stop running the company on spreadsheets that disagree with each other.

What an ERP is, and what it is not.

An ERP connects the areas that already depend on each other: inventory, purchasing, invoicing, accounts and, depending on your industry, production, projects or fleet. It is not a magic layer that fixes a broken process; it makes an existing process visible and consistent.

If two people can give different numbers for the same warehouse on the same day, an ERP is the tool that ends that.

Network of glowing nodes with signals flowing like an automated workflow

Start with what hurts today.

Nobody implements an ERP because it is elegant. They implement it because a specific pain became expensive: stock that does not match reality, an invoice that takes three days, a cost per order that nobody can calculate. We start from that pain, not from a module catalog.

From scattered processes to one system.

  • Every movement leaves a trace and a responsible user
  • Numbers come from one source, not four spreadsheets
  • Costs, margin and inventory reconcile by themselves
  • Role-based access replaces shared passwords

An ERP organizes; it does not run itself.

The system will not sell, negotiate or decide for you. What it does is remove the excuses: if the data is entered, the report is true, and the meeting starts from facts instead of opinions.

Who it makes sense for.

Companies where inventory, purchasing and invoicing already overlap and the coordination cost is visible in hours per week. If the operation still fits comfortably in one person's head, you are not there yet.

What it is like to work with us.

No hundred-page requirement document that nobody reads. We start from your operation, agree on a scope in plain language, and build in visible stages. You see the system working early and often, which is how surprises get caught while they are cheap.

  • Senior team on the project, not a rotating junior bench
  • Written scope and fixed price before building
  • Working software you can review every two weeks
  • Direct access to the person who designed the architecture

Connected to what you already use.

We integrate what you keep: accounting, e-commerce, a payment gateway or an existing system. The ERP becomes the center, not one more island.

Pricing.

ERP engagements start at the NEOS tiers: Launch from $7,500 USD, Growth from $12,000, Scale from $16,000 and Enterprise from $22,000, plus the modules you need. One-time payment; the annual fee from year two covers server, backups, support and maintenance. There is no monthly rent for the system. Most clients start with the core they use daily and add modules as the operation asks for them, which keeps the first invoice focused on what actually changes the week.

Nine signs you already need it.

  • Inventory in the system disagrees with the warehouse
  • You cannot calculate the margin of an order
  • Purchasing and invoicing do not talk to each other
  • Month-end takes days of manual reconciliation
  • Two areas keep different customer lists
  • Nobody knows the real cost of a product
  • Growth means hiring more coordinators, not more producers
  • Reports are built by hand every time
  • The system depends on one person's memory

What an ERP does not include.

An ERP does not include the discipline of entering the data — that has to come from your operation. It also does not include advice on how your business should run: the system records reality, and if the process is chaotic, it will faithfully record chaos.

What it does include is the opposite risk: once the data is in, the numbers cannot be argued with. That is why we insist on a parallel run before the system becomes the only source of truth.

How we keep a project from running away.

Most ERP failures are scope failures. We fix the scope in writing before building, deliver visible software every two weeks, and quote additional requests separately instead of absorbing them silently until the deadline disappears.

  • Written scope and fixed price before the first line of code
  • Visible delivery every two weeks, not a big reveal at the end
  • Extra requests quoted, not silently absorbed
  • A parallel run so the team trusts the numbers before switching

Integrations and data migration.

An ERP that cannot talk to what you already use creates a second place to check, which is the problem you were trying to solve. We integrate your accounting, e-commerce, payment gateway or existing system, and we migrate the data you already have instead of asking you to type it again.

Migration is a working session, not a black box: we reconcile opening stock, catalogs and open documents against a real count, so go-live starts from a number the team already believes.

Common objections, answered.

The most frequent is fear of a project that never ends. We answer it with a written scope and visible delivery every two weeks. The second is cost compared to a per-user package: over three years, with a growing team, the custom build usually costs less and you own it. The third is disruption: a parallel run lets the team work with both the old method and the system until the numbers match, so nobody has to trust it blindly.

How an ERP project runs.

01

Find the real pain

One process that hurts today: stock that does not match, a margin nobody can calculate, an invoice that takes days.

02

Write the scope

We name the modules, the flows and the integrations, with a fixed price in writing before we start.

03

Model and build

We build the system around your flows, not a generic package you have to bend to.

04

Migrate the data

Opening stock, catalogs, suppliers and open documents come across with a reconciliation.

05

Go live and stabilize

Parallel run, training and a tuning window until the numbers are trusted.

Pricing

ERP engagements start at the NEOS tiers — Launch from $7,500 USD, Growth from $12,000, Scale from $16,000, Enterprise from $22,000 — plus the modules above. One-time payment; the annual fee from year two covers server, backups, support and maintenance. No monthly rent for the system.

Before you decide.

How much does a custom ERP cost?

The base starts at $7,500 USD (Launch tier) and grows with the tier and the modules you need. It is a one-time payment, not a monthly license.

Do you charge per user?

No. The system is yours; adding users later costs nothing.

How long does implementation take?

Typically eight to sixteen weeks depending on modules, data migration and integrations. You get a written scope before we start.

Can we migrate our current data?

Yes. We migrate inventory, catalogs and open documents from spreadsheets or your current system as part of the scope.

Does it work for manufacturing or construction?

Yes. There are specific modules for manufacturing, construction, transportation and real estate.

What happens after year one?

You pay an annual fee for server, backups, support and maintenance. The code and the data remain yours.

Do we have to adopt every module at once?

No. Most clients start with the core they use daily and add modules as the operation asks for them.

How do you avoid a project that never ends?

Fixed scope in writing before we start, and visible delivery every two weeks. Extra requests are quoted separately, not absorbed silently.
