ERP vs custom operations platform
Why growing teams often need an operational layer on top of (or instead of) traditional ERP categories.
ERP is not always the answer
Traditional ERP categories assume generic manufacturing or distribution. Print shops, mixed production, and service-led ops often need a tailored operational layer.
Custom as the operational layer
Many clients keep accounting or legacy ERP and add custom software for the workflow teams actually use daily - order to dispatch, portals, or automation.
Proof
See our manufacturing case study: one platform from order through dispatch, built for how the factory runs jobs.
