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.
