ERP for manufacturers who outgrew the spreadsheet.
Custom ERP built around your actual production process — not a generic manufacturing module bent to fit. Production scheduling, BOM, MRP, inventory, quality, dispatch.
Generic manufacturing ERPs are designed for the average factory.
Off-the-shelf ERPs assume a standard manufacturing process. Make-to-stock with predictable demand. Single-site, single-product-family, single-currency.
If you're a real manufacturer, you have mixed make-to-stock and make-to-order, multiple sites, complex BOMs with substitutions, capacity that flexes by shift, and a quality process that needs to be audit-ready.
Forcing your operations into NetSuite Manufacturing or SAP's manufacturing module means months of customization and a system that still misses the parts that actually drive your business.
An ERP designed around your production process.
We build the modules that match how your floor actually runs. BOM with substitution logic, production scheduling tied to real machine capacity, MRP that respects supplier lead times you've actually negotiated, dispatch that reflects your truck fleet.
We integrate with the floor systems you already have — MES, PLCs, barcode scanners, ERP edges, accounting. The custom ERP becomes the source of truth across your operation.
Reliable Training (our client ERP for the training-services business) is in the same family — a multi-module operational ERP built from the floor up.
We ship the modules you need first, then add the rest. Most clients don't need every module on day one.
Production scheduling
Schedule against actual machine capacity, shift patterns, and order priority. Drag-to-reshuffle interface; constraint solver in the back.
BOM + substitutions
Multi-level bills of materials with conditional substitutions based on stock, lead time, or cost. Engineering change orders tracked.
MRP
Material requirements planning that respects your real supplier lead times, MOQs, and pricing tiers. Suggest, then approve.
Inventory & lots
Multi-site inventory with lot/serial tracking, FIFO/FEFO, cycle counts, and quarantine for QC holds.
Quality control
QC plans by part, sampling rules, deviation handling, audit-ready records.
Dispatch & shipping
Pick, pack, ship — integrated with your carriers (FedEx, UPS, regional LTL). Customs documents for cross-border.
Cost accounting
Standard cost, actual cost, variance analysis. Tie back to GL via QuickBooks/Xero or built-in.
Sales & quoting
Configure-to-order pricing, multi-tier customer pricing, integrated with the production schedule.
Floor data integration
MES, PLC, scanner data flowing into the same system. Real-time WIP visibility for ops and customers.
How a custom manufacturing ERP gets built.
Same structure every time. We ship the first module to your team in 4–8 weeks, then build the rest while they're already using it.
- 01
Discover
1–2 weeks. We sit with your team, map workflows, and pick the first module to ship.
- 02
Architect
1–2 weeks. Data model, integrations, deployment topology. Documented before any code.
- 03
Build slice 1
3–5 weeks. First production module — usually the highest-pain part of your current workflow.
- 04
Build slices 2–N
1–3 months. Additional modules deployed continuously. Each integrates with the existing data model.
- 05
Run
Ongoing. We stay on after launch — bug fixes, new features, integrations as your business changes.
Built to integrate with the systems you already use.
The integrations below come up most often for manufacturing operators. Anything with an API is fair game — these are just the common ones.
- QuickBooks Online
- Xero
- ShipStation
- EDI (X12 850/856/810)
- Barcode scanners (Zebra, Honeywell)
- MES platforms
- Carrier APIs (FedEx, UPS, USPS, regional)
- Stripe / payment processors
- Customer portals
- Customs / cross-border (CrossBorder, Avalara)

The proof we ship ERPs.
Clear answers
for complex builds.
Clear answers on timelines, pricing, ownership, and what shipping actually looks like with a senior engineering team.
If you're under $500M revenue with non-standard manufacturing workflows, custom typically beats SAP on cost and fit, and beats NetSuite on customization burden. The decision depends on your specific scale and standardness — we walk through it on /comparisons/custom-erp-vs-netsuite and /comparisons/custom-erp-vs-sap.
Yes. We design the data model for multi-site from day one when you have multiple plants. Inventory, scheduling, and reporting all respect site boundaries. Cross-site transfers, intercompany pricing, and consolidated reporting are standard.
We build EDI integration as a standard module — X12 850 (PO), 856 (ASN), 810 (invoice), 940/945 (warehouse), and the rest. Most clients we work with need 5–15 trading partners; we handle each partner's idiosyncrasies in the integration layer.
We integrate at the ERP edge — receive events from your floor systems, push schedule and BOM updates back. Most manufacturing clients already have some floor data infrastructure; we wire to it rather than replace it.
Yes. Configurable products, option selection, automatic BOM generation, and engineering change orders are all in our standard manufacturing module set. ETO with project-style tracking is a common variant.
