Should we build a custom ERP or use an off-the-shelf product?
Off-the-shelf software is usually faster and cheaper when your processes match how it works. A custom build is worth it when your inventory, pricing, approvals or workflows do not fit, and workarounds are costing time and errors. Discovery compares both before you commit.
Can the system integrate with Shopify, Tally or our accounting software?
Usually, yes. We check the available APIs, versions and access, then design the sync with clear ownership of each record, duplicate checks and an exception queue. Integration feasibility is confirmed during discovery.
Who owns the code and the data?
Ownership of the code, deployment and data is set out in the agreement. Your business data remains yours, and the handover includes documentation and access needed to operate and maintain the system.
Can we start with a sales CRM and add operations later?
Yes. We can scope lead capture, assignment, pipeline stages, follow-up tasks and reporting as the first release. Quotations, orders, service operations and finance connections can follow once record ownership and the first workflow are established. Each phase has its own acceptance checks and rollout plan.
How long does a custom ERP or CRM take to build?
It depends on the number of modules, integrations and how much data needs migrating. We deliver in phases so the most valuable module goes live first, and the proposal gives a schedule for each phase after discovery.
