I’ve been building a custom ERP/CRM system for the medical device manufacturing company I work at. We went through two commercial ERPs over the years and both were slow and painful to customize, so I started building a simpler replacement.

It handles inventory, work orders (MRP), purchasing, sales orders, accounting, everything we need. After a couple failed attempts earlier on, I rebuilt it with a much simpler stack and it’s now running the company day to day.

Still learning a lot about manufacturing workflows and how much unnecessary complexity most ERP systems accumulate. Now I'm trying to focus on ways that the software can help other companies in a similar ERP boat that we were some years ago.
