Mini ERP for Growing Businesses

One connected system for stock, purchasing, sales orders and invoicing — the useful 20 percent of a full ERP, delivered in months instead of years.

Built to B2B standard — nothing extra

Every solution here is design craftsmanship built strictly around business-to-business needs: only the modules your operation actually uses, no bloat, no features you pay for and never touch. We start by consulting with you to define the best-fit solution, then build it to that scope.

Live demo & session notes

Emphasise scope discipline: we deliver the modules they use daily, not a 40-module suite. Show the multi-warehouse stock view and ask how they check stock in another branch today.

The problem

A trading and light assembly company with three warehouses had outgrown spreadsheets but was quoted an 18-month, seven-figure ERP implementation they could neither afford nor absorb. Stock counts never matched the system, purchasing ordered items already sitting in another warehouse, and month-end close took three weeks of reconciliation.

What we built

We built a mini ERP scoped strictly to what they actually run: multi-warehouse inventory with barcode receiving and picking, purchase requisitions through to goods receipt, sales orders through to delivery note and invoice, simple bill of materials for assembly, and financial reporting that reconciles to their accountant''s chart of accounts. No modules they would never open.

The result

Stock accuracy rose from 82 percent to 99.1 percent within four months. Duplicate purchasing effectively stopped once stock was visible across warehouses, and month-end close shortened from three weeks to four days.

What it does, in plain English

Multi-warehouse inventory

Live stock across every location, with barcode receiving, picking and transfer between branches.

Purchasing

Requisition, approval, purchase order and goods receipt, with supplier pricing history attached.

Sales orders

Order to delivery note to invoice in one chain, so nothing ships without a matching document.

Bill of materials

Light assembly and kitting that consumes components and produces finished goods correctly.

Reporting

Stock valuation, margin by product, ageing and cash position, all from the same source of truth.

Accounting integration

Clean handover to your existing accounting package instead of forcing a finance team migration.

Good for your business if…

  • • Spreadsheets have become the system of record and are breaking
  • • You need inventory, purchasing and invoicing to finally agree with each other
  • • A full-scale ERP programme is too slow, too expensive and too disruptive right now

Consider carefully if…

  • • You require deep regulated manufacturing compliance modules
  • • You already run SAP, Oracle or Dynamics and intend to keep it
  • • You need only a standalone accounting package

Advanced tier: core inventory, purchasing, sales and invoicing modules configured to your operation, with accounting integration. Typical delivery is 12 to 20 weeks in phases, so value lands before the whole build finishes.
