FAQ

Common questions

What does a custom ERP for a manufacturing or export business include?

A custom ERP for manufacturing or export covers order management, inventory tracking, production scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and export documentation — all in one platform. It replaces disconnected tools like Excel, Tally, and paper registers. The exact modules depend on your operations.

How long does it take to build a custom ERP?

A focused ERP covering 3–5 core modules typically takes 8–16 weeks from discovery to go-live. Timeline depends on complexity, number of integrations, and how quickly decisions get made.

How much does custom ERP development cost in India?

Cost depends on scope, but a production-ready ERP for an SME business typically ranges from ₹2.5L–₹8L. A scoped estimate is provided after a free discovery call.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes, all client work is done remotely. Current engagements include clients across India and the process works fully over calls, shared docs, and async updates.

What happens after launch support, training, and changes?

After launch I provide a handover session, documentation, and a support window. Most clients continue with a retainer for ongoing changes and new features as the business grows.
