When you need a custom module instead of a standard one
Standard ERP modules cover the common case — general ledger, standard inventory, generic CRM pipelines. They don't always cover industry-specific workflows: batch tracking for a pharma distributor, job-costing for a fabrication shop, or a commission structure that doesn't map to any built-in sales module. Rather than forcing your process to fit a module that's close but not right, we build the specific piece and integrate it with your existing ERP.
Our approach to module development
- Requirement definition. We document exactly what the module needs to do, including edge cases the standard module doesn't handle.
- Data model design. Structured so it integrates cleanly with your existing ERP's database rather than sitting as a disconnected add-on.
- Build and internal testing. Developed against real sample data from your business, not generic test data.
- Integration and UAT. Connected into your live ERP in a staging environment, tested by the team who'll actually use it.
- Deployment and handover. Rolled into production with documentation your team can maintain going forward.
Examples of custom modules we've built
- Batch and lot tracking for regulated inventory
- Commission calculation engines for non-standard sales structures
- Job-costing modules for project-based manufacturing
- Custom approval workflows tied to specific compliance requirements
- Multi-entity consolidation for group companies
Engagement & pricing
Custom module development is quoted per module, based on complexity, the number of screens or workflows involved, and how deep the integration with your existing ERP needs to go. A straightforward calculation engine is a smaller build than a module that touches inventory, finance and reporting simultaneously. We provide a fixed quote after requirement definition, before any development starts.
Ongoing support for custom modules
Custom-built modules need a different support approach than standard ERP modules, since there’s no vendor patch or community forum to fall back on. We offer ongoing maintenance for modules we build, covering bug fixes, minor enhancements and compatibility checks when your core ERP platform updates.
ERP platforms we work with
We're not tied to one platform — we implement and configure whichever fits your business, including:
Frequently asked questions
We build modules to use documented APIs and extension points wherever the platform supports them, specifically to reduce breakage on upgrades. We'll flag any risk areas before development starts.
Yes — we regularly build modules into ERP systems implemented by other providers, as long as we can get appropriate access to review the existing setup first.
Based on complexity and integration depth, quoted after requirement definition — there's no standard price until we understand exactly what the module needs to do.
Most modules are built with a configuration layer for common changes. Larger changes are scoped and quoted as a follow-on piece of work.
