Project Overview

Led the development of multiple custom ERP modules for diverse clients, creating tailored solutions that bridged gaps between standard ERP functionality and unique business requirements, significantly improving user adoption and operational efficiency.

ERP Functionality Gaps

Organizations faced limitations with out-of-the-box ERP systems that could not accommodate their unique industry-specific processes and competitive differentiators.

▸Standard ERP modules did not support specialized workflows
▸Manual workarounds reducing efficiency and user satisfaction
▸Disconnected third-party systems creating integration challenges
▸Industry-specific compliance requirements not met by standard features
▸Custom reporting needs beyond standard ERP capabilities
▸User resistance due to poor fit with actual business processes

Custom Module Development Framework

Developed and implemented a systematic approach to custom ERP module development, ensuring seamless integration with core ERP while delivering tailored functionality aligned with specific business needs.

In-depth requirements gathering with stakeholder workshops

Gap analysis between ERP capabilities and business needs

Custom module design following ERP architecture patterns

API-first development for seamless integration

User-centered interface design for intuitive adoption

Comprehensive testing within ERP ecosystem

Deployment strategy minimizing business disruption
