Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is one of the most important investments your business can make. Rather than choose an out-of-the-box solution, it’s often better to customize your own ERP software—so you can have all the tools and features your business needs to succeed.

What Is Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software?
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is often an entire suite of applications meant to help you gather, store, access, and analyze data from a range of different business activities. ERP software is involved in multiple different departments, and at many different levels. For example, it can help you gather data and analyze your efforts in sales, procurement, production, distribution, accounting, human resources, customer service and more. And because these systems are all tightly interconnected, you can seamlessly integrate different platforms and sources of data.
For mid- to large-size organizations, ERP software is imperative to better understand how the organization functions. You can use it to store important information, analyze your productivity and cost efficiency, and discover new ways you can optimize your business for further profitability or growth.
The Benefits of Custom ERP Software
Building custom ERP software, rather than purchasing a preexisting solution, is beneficial for several reasons:
All the features you need
First, you can practically guarantee that your finished suite of products will have all the apps and features you need to better understand your business.
A custom solution for your brand
More than that, your software will be custom designed for your brand, so it fits seamlessly with your existing processes, policies, and other software.
Ongoing maintenance and support
ERP development partners aren’t out of the picture once your software is initially developed. They’ll provide you with ongoing maintenance and support, so you can get the most out of your software.
Value maximization
Ultimately, custom ERP software will help you get the maximum potential value out of your apps—however you define “value.”
This is a collaborative and intensive process, so your choice will play
an important role in both the quality and implementation of your finished product.
How We Develop Custom ERP Software
At DEV.co, we strive to create the perfect ERP software for each of our clients. This is the general process we follow:
Needs analysis
ERP software varies in nature and scope based on the needs of the organization using it. Therefore, our first step is to learn more about you, your business, and your overall needs.
Consulting and planning
Next, we spend time consulting with you, collaborating on a plan for your ERP software in the future.
Initial design and development
From there, we can begin to build your ERP products, testing and evaluating them along the way.
Deployment
Once the core products are finished, we’ll work on deploying your software throughout your organization—as quickly and risk-free as possible.
Maintenance, monitoring, and analysis
After launch, we’ll work with you to actively monitor how your company is using the ERP software, analyzing its functionality and conducting maintenance when necessary.
New updates
ERP software requires periodic updating. We’ll work with you to add new features, improve old ones, and generally optimize its functionality.
