Custom ERP is the operational backbone for manufacturers who've outgrown spreadsheets. This guide walks from discovery through production deployment—with GST and Tally integration built in.
Chapter 1: Discovery & Process Mapping
Spend two weeks on the shop floor before writing specs. Document material flow, approval chains, and exception handling.
- Value stream mapping workshops
- Stakeholder interviews by role
- Integration inventory (Tally, logistics APIs)
Chapter 2: Module Architecture
Prioritize inventory → production → finance sync. Quality and maintenance modules follow once core ops are stable.
Chapter 3: Tally & GST Integration
Bi-directional sync with conflict resolution and audit logs. Never batch-only—finance needs near-real-time vouchers.
Chapter 4: Rollout & Adoption
Pilot one facility. Train champions. Measure adoption weekly—not just go-live date.
