build and run
ERP implementation in weeks, not 18 months
One system of record for inventory, orders, invoicing, and reporting — implemented on open platforms like Odoo and ERPNext, scoped to the modules you actually run. No per-user licenses, no consultant army.

Six spreadsheets pretending to be a system
Stock lives in one sheet, order status in another, invoices in QuickBooks, the price list in someone’s inbox. Every order gets re-keyed 3 times — sales to fulfillment to invoice — and every re-key is a chance to ship the wrong thing or bill the wrong amount.
Simple questions become projects. “What’s our margin on this product line?” means 4 exports, a chain of VLOOKUPs, and an afternoon you didn’t have — and by the time the answer arrives, it’s last month’s answer. Multi-entity consolidations that should be a report take 15+ days of manual reconciliation.
What we implement
Odoo or ERPNext, scoped to what you run
Inventory, sales, purchasing, invoicing, reporting — the modules your operation uses, configured to your workflow, and nothing else. Open-source platforms: no per-user fees, full data access, self-hosted or managed.

Migration that reconciles, not just imports
We clean and dedupe your customers, SKUs, and open orders from spreadsheets, QuickBooks, or Xero — then parallel-run the new system against the old until the numbers match to the cent.

Integrations so the ERP isn’t an island
Shopify orders flow in on their own, invoices post to accounting, low-stock alerts land in Slack — wired through n8n so every connection has retry logic and fails loudly, not silently.

ROI math
15 hrs/wk of re-keying and reconciliation × $35/hr × 52 = $27,300/yr recovered — typical implementation $6–20k.
Typical for this type of automation — the audit counts your actual hours.

FAQ
What does an ERP implementation cost?
Typically $6–20k fixed, quoted in writing after the free audit. Because Odoo and ERPNext are open source, there are no per-user licenses — ongoing cost is hosting and tool fees, usually $40–180/mo total.
Everyone says ERP takes a year. Why do you say weeks?
Because we implement 6 modules, not 60. Scoping to what you actually run — and loading your real data into a pilot by week 2 — gets most teams to full cutover in 6–10 weeks. The 18-month rollouts are enterprises customizing everything for everyone.
Why Odoo or ERPNext instead of NetSuite or SAP?
No per-user licensing, source-code access, and your data sits in a Postgres database you can query directly. For a $1–50M business they cover inventory, orders, and accounting without the enterprise price tag. And if the audit shows you genuinely need NetSuite, we’ll say so — you keep the roadmap either way.
What happens to our data during the migration?
Your spreadsheets and QuickBooks stay untouched until cutover — we work from copies, parallel-run both systems, and switch only when they reconcile. Data lives in your own hosting account with least-privilege access and daily backups from day one.
