Custom ERP software built around how you actually work.

What a custom ERP actually is

An ERP — Enterprise Resource Planning — is the single system that runs the back office of your business: what you have in stock, what you're making, what you've bought and sold, who you owe, who owes you, and who's on the payroll. Most Indian businesses run this across a stack of disconnected tools — Tally for accounts, Excel for inventory, WhatsApp for the shop floor, a diary for purchase orders. A custom ERP pulls all of that into one system that matches your workflow, instead of forcing your team to bend around a product someone else designed.

We are a team of custom ERP developers based in Govind Nagar, Kanpur, building ERP software for manufacturers, distributors, traders and service businesses across Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and all of India.

Modules we build

You don't buy the whole thing at once — we build the modules you need now, and add more as you grow. The ones we ship most often:

• Inventory & warehouse — real-time stock across locations, batch / serial tracking, low-stock alerts, stock transfers and audits.
• Manufacturing / production — bill of materials, work orders, job-work tracking, wastage and yield, production planning against demand.
• Procurement & purchase — purchase orders, vendor management, goods-received notes, three-way matching against invoices.
• Sales & order management — quotations, sales orders, dispatch, invoicing, credit limits and outstanding tracking.
• Accounting & GST — ledgers, GST-compliant invoicing, e-way bills, and clean two-way sync with Tally so your CA workflow doesn't change.
• HR & payroll — attendance, leave, salary structures, payslips, PF / ESI / TDS calculations and payroll registers.
• Reporting & dashboards — the numbers the owner actually checks each morning, on the phone, in real time.

Why custom ERP beats SAP, Oracle, Zoho or a Tally patchwork

Packaged ERPs are excellent when your process matches theirs. The trouble starts when it doesn't — you pay per user, per month, forever, spend lakhs on consultants to configure it, and your team still exports to Excel to get the report they actually wanted. A custom ERP inverts that: the software fits your process, not the other way round, it's a one-time build you own, and after year one it usually costs less than the subscription you were paying.

A few signs your business has outgrown its current setup:

• Stock in the system never quite matches stock on the shelf.
• Someone re-enters the same order into Tally, Excel and WhatsApp.
• You can't answer “what did we actually make last month, at what cost?” without a day of spreadsheet work.
• You're paying for 30 seats of a SaaS ERP but use 20% of its features.
• Month-end close takes a week because numbers live in five places.

How a custom ERP project runs

1. Week 1 — discovery on your floor. We shadow the people who'll use it — store, production, accounts — and map every step and exception. No code yet.
2. Week 1–2 — blueprint & fixed quote. A one-pager listing every module, screen and integration, with a fixed price and the monthly hosting cost. You approve before we build.
3. Week 2–12 — build, module by module. We ship in a staging environment your team can test daily, with WhatsApp updates and weekly reviews. Finished modules go live while the rest are still in progress.
4. Pilot & parallel run. We run the ERP alongside your current process first, so you trust the numbers before switching off the old way.
5. Rollout & training. Onboarding sessions, training docs, and role-based access set up for every user.
6. +30 days support included. Bug fixes, tweaks and training questions after go-live.

What you own on day one

• Full source code in a GitHub repo under your organisation — no vendor lock-in.
• Hosted on your account (AWS / Vercel / DigitalOcean / Hostinger) so you own the infrastructure and the data. We can also manage the hosting and maintenance for you.
• Role-based access — owner / manager / store / accounts / operator roles by default.
• Daily backups and point-in-time recovery on Postgres.
• Audit log — every change recorded with who, what and when.
• Documentation — user guide, deployment guide and API docs.

ERP we have actually shipped

We built and run the ERP behind Envirofluent, a manufacturer — covering the operational side a packaged product handled badly for them. It is a live system, not a case-study mockup, and it is the clearest answer we can give to “have you done this before”. The rest of the work we can show publicly is listed on our about page, with links.

Pricing for custom ERP software in India

Fixed quote up front, milestone payments (30/30/40), and the monthly hosting cost shown before you commit — so no figure appears after launch that you had not planned for.

Frequently asked questions

What is custom ERP software and how is it different from SAP or Tally?

Custom ERP is software built around how your business actually runs, instead of forcing your team to work the way a packaged product (SAP, Oracle, Zoho, Tally) expects. Packaged ERPs charge per user per month forever and still need heavy configuration; a custom ERP is a one-time build you own outright, with only hosting to pay each month. It covers the same modules — inventory, manufacturing, accounting, HR, reporting — but only the parts you need, in the exact workflow you already use.

How much does custom ERP software cost in India?

A focused single-module ERP — for example inventory plus purchase, or production tracking — starts at ₹99,999. A full multi-module ERP covering inventory, manufacturing, sales, accounting, HR and reporting typically lands between ₹3,00,000 and ₹10,00,000, depending on the number of modules and integrations. We give a fixed quote up front with milestone payments of 30/30/40, and always show the monthly hosting cost before you commit, so no figure appears later that you had not planned for. What you pay for stays yours: the full source code sits in a GitHub repository under your own organisation, the system runs on your own hosting account rather than a shared tenancy, and 30 days of support after go-live is included. GST filing and Tally synchronisation are built in rather than charged as separate modules, so the quoted figure buys a working system rather than a starting point.

How long does it take to build a custom ERP?

A single-module ERP usually ships in 6–8 weeks. A larger multi-module system takes 10–16 weeks, rolled out module by module so your team can start using the finished parts while we build the rest. We agree the scope and timeline in writing before we start.

Can the ERP integrate with Tally, GST and our existing tools?

Yes — Tally, the GST portal APIs, Razorpay / Cashfree, WhatsApp Business API, e-way bill, banking, email and SMS all integrate over their REST or webhook interfaces. We've wired all of these before, so data flows automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand.

Do we own the ERP code, or are we locked in to you?

You own everything. The full source code lives in a GitHub repository under your organisation from day one, hosted on your own cloud account. Because we use a mainstream stack (Next.js / Node.js / TypeScript / Postgres), any competent developer can maintain it. We offer ongoing support if you want it — you're never forced to stay with us.
