ERP

The Managing Director v1.0

Runs a sixty-person wholesaler that outgrew an invoicing tool, two Excel stock lists and a shop backend nobody reconciles. Wants one system that goes live without stopping the business for a quarter, an implementation path and cost they can plan before signing, and a vendor that will still be there when the contract renews.

The Head of Finance v1.0

Closes the books for three companies every month and has retyped one supplier invoice too many. Wants incoming e-invoices read and matched to the purchase order, GoBD stated with a procedure documentation, DATEV for the tax adviser, intercompany postings that balance, and every figure traceable to the order and the person behind it.

The Operations Lead v1.0

Runs purchasing, two warehouses and a small assembly line, and is the one called when a delivery is promised from stock that is not there. Wants goods receipt booked on a scanner, stock per bin and batch, purchase proposals from real demand, and bills of materials that plan next week's production instead of a whiteboard.

The Online Retailer v1.0

Sells on a Shopware shop, Amazon and eBay from one warehouse with eight staff, and oversold a bestseller twice last Christmas. Wants stock synchronised across every channel, orders, labels and returns handled in one place, OSS VAT done right, and a price that does not jump with every thousand orders.

The IT Integrator v1.0

Looks after IT for a mid-sized manufacturer and has to connect the ERP to the shop, the bank, payroll, the BI tool and a supplier's EDI. Wants a public, versioned API with webhooks and a sandbox, roles and an audit log, hosting and subprocessors named, and a full export the day the company leaves.

The Skeptic v1.0

Has watched ERP projects run a year late and twice over budget, the partner's day rate the real price. Reads "ERP" that is an invoicing tool with a stock column, "GoBD-ready" with no procedure documentation, "open API" without a public reference, and a module price list that stops where implementation starts, and asks how the data gets out again.
