We start where retyping costs the most, run the new system beside the old one, and extend it department by department. You own the code, the data and the documentation.
One record from PO to packing slip
An order typed into quoting, scheduling, purchasing and invoicing drifts a little each time. A custom ERP keeps one record for the order and its job, with routing, materials, changes and shipments attached.
- Customer orders and revisions
- Jobs, routings and operations
- Material requirements and purchase orders
- Shipping, packing slips and invoices
- Costs passed to accounting
Shortages before they stop a job
Stock, open purchase orders and job demand are compared as jobs are released, so buyers see a shortage in time to order. Buyers still choose suppliers and quantities.
- 1 Order received
- 2 Job released
- 3 Materials planned
- 4 Job completed
- 5 Shipped and invoiced
Moving off an old ERP in stages
We pick the first area to move, run it in parallel until the numbers match, then move the next. No weekend-long switchovers.
✕Orders typed into four systems
✓One record from PO to invoice
✕Shortages found at the machine
✓Shortages flagged at release
✕All-at-once ERP switch
✓Staged move with parallel runs
