ERP Discovery + MVP
Process audit + working MVP of your custom ERP.
What this pack is
Most ERP projects fail because they start with a 200-page requirements doc. We do it backwards: 2 weeks of discovery, 10 weeks of building a working MVP, then iterate. You'll have working software at week 12.
The standard Indian SMB ERP journey: get a SAP B1 quote for ₹40 lakh, a Tally Prime + custom add-on quote for ₹15 lakh, or a Zoho One subscription that creeps to ₹2L/year as you add users. All three have the same problem — they're configured to a generic process and your business has to adapt. We do the opposite. Two weeks of discovery with your actual process owners. Then 10 weeks building an MVP of the 3 modules that move the needle most (typically procurement + inventory + finance, or production + sales + finance). One integration with what you already run (Tally, Zoho Books, custom DB). At week 12 you have working software your team uses every day, and a clear backlog for phase 2.
Who this pack is for — and who it isn't
A good fit if
- Manufacturing, distribution, or services SMBs ₹5–100Cr in revenue
- Businesses where 3 specific process gaps cost real money (we identify them in discovery)
- Owners who've tried generic ERPs and hit the customization ceiling
- Teams ready to invest in proper software vs. Excel/Tally workarounds
Probably not for you if
- Businesses needing global multi-entity consolidation (use NetSuite/SAP)
- Teams who want everything in phase 1 — we deliberately scope to 3 modules
- Companies where the founder is the only stakeholder available for discovery
