Custom ERP for orders, stock, production and accounts

Brihat Infotech builds ERP software around the way your business already works, then rolls it out one module at a time. Sales, stores, the plant and finance read the same figures. The source code belongs to you, in your own repository, from the first commit.

What the system covers

Pick the modules you need. Each one shares a single record of your products, customers and suppliers.

  • Orders and purchasing

    order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, with approvals where you want them.

  • Production planning

    bills of material, schedules and yield.

  • Inventory and warehouse

    stock by batch, serial number and expiry, bin locations, gate passes and despatch.

  • Finance and GST

    GST documents, e-invoices, e-way bills and reconciliation.

  • HR and payroll

    for the people on your plant floor and in your offices.

  • Quality and maintenance

    quality checks, traceability and an asset register for your machines.

  • Reports

    the figures each team asks for, from the same data.

Works with the systems you keep

Your new ERP connects to the software you decide to keep.

  • Tally

    Tally can stay in charge of statutory books and GST returns, with the ERP sending it the entries.

  • SAP

    we can build the ERP around an existing SAP installation instead of replacing it.

  • Government portals

    the build includes the GST e-invoice and e-way bill APIs.

  • The plant floor

    barcode scanners and IoT devices feed stock and production data. Data from SCADA and PLC systems flows out of the plant only, with no write-back.

How a project runs

  1. 01We start on your site. An architect and a business analyst watch how orders, stock and payments move today, before anyone proposes a module.
  2. 02You get a process map and a domain model. Both are yours to keep, even if you stop here.
  3. 03We build in fortnightly releases. Each one reaches a live environment, so your team tests real screens rather than slides.
  4. 04Your data moves only after we check it. We clean old records and reconcile them first. A written cutover and rollback plan is ready before go-live.
  5. 05Modules go live one at a time. The old system runs alongside until the new module holds.
  6. 06After launch, you choose. We run and support the system, or we hand it over with its documents.

You get a written status report every fortnight and one delivery lead to call. The first release typically reaches your users in 5 to 8 months, and the remaining modules follow in later releases.

What you own at the end

  • The process map and domain model from discovery
  • Migrated data, reconciled against your old records
  • The cutover and rollback plan
  • All source code, in your own repository from the first commit
  • No per-seat licence fee to Brihat, however many people log in

When custom ERP is the right choice

Custom ERP pays off when your process is part of how you compete, or when licence fees per user climb each time you hire. If your process already matches a packaged product's standard flow, a packaged ERP is usually the better buy.

Questions buyers ask

Custom ERP is business software built for one company's process, covering orders, stock, production, finance and people. A packaged ERP asks you to adopt its standard process; a custom one follows yours, and you own the code.

Cost depends on six things:

  • how many systems the ERP connects to
  • how much your process varies
  • the condition of your data
  • the regulations you report against
  • your performance and uptime targets
  • how much time your team can give

A fixed-price discovery comes first, and your quote follows from it.

SAP or Zoho suits a process that matches its standard flow. A custom ERP can also run alongside SAP, taking over only the processes you choose while SAP keeps the rest.
