ERP Development & Customization Services
Custom ERP systems designed for how your business actually operates — covering procurement, inventory, sales, production, finance, and field operations. Built to last, not to demo.
The Problem
When your operations need a system that fits
Spreadsheets at scale
Wholesale and distribution businesses often run on Excel long after the volume makes it unsustainable. Stock levels are wrong, orders get missed, and reconciling stock with sales takes days every month.
Generic ERP that needs constant consultants
Off-the-shelf ERP systems are built for the median business. Configuring them to support your dealer credit structure or your specific approval chain often means expensive consulting hours for every change.
Commission structures that standard ERPs ignore
Sales teams with tiered commissions, target bonuses, and deduction rules are common in distribution. Most ERPs don't touch this. Businesses end up calculating commissions manually in parallel.
Three tools where one should exist
Sales in one system, inventory in another, accounting in a third. Every month someone exports from each, pastes into a master sheet, and finds the numbers don't agree. The problem is the architecture.
ERP you paid for but barely use
Many businesses have a licensed ERP where staff use maybe 20% of the modules — because the rest never matched how they work. The investment is real; the return isn't.
Field teams on stripped-down web views
Sales reps in the field don't need a desktop ERP on their phone. They need to place orders, record collections, and check stock fast. That requires a dedicated mobile experience, not a responsive web view.
Deliverables

Upotto ERP
Our own distribution ERP — available to implement and extend
Upotto ERP is a distribution ERP we built and maintain. Office teams run the web portal for purchase orders, dealer management, stock control, sales orders, and financial reporting. Field sales reps use the companion mobile app to place orders, record collections, and view their commission status on the road. Agriflow, an agricultural distribution business, runs Upotto ERP across its dealer network. If your business operates a wholesale, dealer, or distribution channel, Upotto ERP is a starting point we can adapt — or a reference for a ground-up custom build.

Everything that goes into an ERP project
ERP Architecture & Design
Module-level data modeling and system architecture before a single line of production code is written.
Multi-Module Development
Purchase, inventory, sales, finance, and HR modules developed as a coherent system — not bolted-together tools.
Dealer & Distributor Management
Credit limits, approval workflows, and dealer hierarchies built for wholesale and channel businesses.
Commission Calculation Engines
Rule-based commission and incentive engines that handle tiered structures, target bonuses, and deduction logic.
Multi-Location Warehouse Management
Real-time stock across multiple warehouses and locations, with transfer orders and bin-level tracking.
Production & BOM Tracking
Bill of materials, work orders, and production run tracking for manufacturers moving beyond spreadsheets.
ERP-to-Accounting Integration
Automated journal entries, reconciliation feeds, and financial reporting bridged to your accounting layer.
Mobile Field App
Flutter-based mobile app for sales reps and field workers — orders, collections, and stock enquiry on Android and iOS.
Reports & Dashboards
Operational dashboards and printable reports so managers see their business without exporting to Excel.
Upotto ERP Customization
Extend Upotto ERP with custom workflows, approval rules, or new modules specific to your operations.
Use Cases
The operations we typically work with
Wholesale distribution with multiple dealers
You manage credit limits per dealer, route-based sales reps, and commission payouts. Your current system is a mix of spreadsheets and a generic accounting package. Upotto ERP or a custom distribution ERP replaces all of it.
Manufacturers needing an integrated system
Purchase orders feed raw materials into production; finished goods move to inventory; sales orders pick from stock. We build that loop — purchase → production → stock → sales — as one traceable system.
Trading companies with disconnected tools
Sales in one app, inventory in another, accounting in a third — and a person reconciling them manually every month. We replace disconnected tools with a single backend where data moves automatically.
Businesses extending Upotto ERP
You're running Upotto ERP and need a custom approval workflow, a new module for HR or payroll, or an integration with a local bank's payment gateway. We extend the platform you already use.
Companies locked out of their own ERP
You bought a well-known ERP and found that every workflow change costs consultant hours. We can build around it — adding a dedicated interface for your specific process — or help you migrate to a system you own.
Technology Stack
Practical tools we know well
Backend API
NestJS / Laravel
Structured, testable API layer with clear module boundaries — essential for multi-module ERP codebases.
Database
PostgreSQL / MySQL
Relational databases for transactional ERP workloads. Schema design that supports reporting without a separate data warehouse at early scale.
Web Interface
Next.js + React
Server-rendered web portal for office teams — fast, maintainable, and deployable without complex infrastructure.
Mobile App
Flutter
Single codebase for Android and iOS field apps. Offline-capable where network is unreliable.
Infrastructure
Docker + Linux
Container-based deployment for clean environment parity between staging and production.
CI/CD
Automated Pipelines
Automated build and deployment pipelines so releases are repeatable and rollbacks are straightforward.
How We Work
Our development process
A structured approach that keeps projects on track without unnecessary ceremony.
- 01
Discovery
We learn how your business operates, what the current pain points are, and what success looks like. No assumptions.
- 02
Planning & Architecture
Define the technical scope, system architecture, data model, and integration touchpoints before writing a line of code.
- 03
UI/UX Design
Design interfaces that your actual users — operators, managers, field staff — can navigate without training.
- 04
Development
Iterative builds with regular check-ins. You see working software early, not just status reports.
- 05
Testing & QA
Functional, integration, and edge-case testing. We fix issues before they reach your users.
- 06
Deployment
Production deployment with proper environment configuration, data migration support, and go-live assistance.
- 07
Support & Optimization
Post-launch monitoring, bug fixing, and feature iterations as your operations evolve.
Why Upotto
We build ERP from inside the problem
We run our own ERP
We built Upotto ERP and deploy it for distribution businesses. We understand dealer hierarchies, commission structures, and field workflows from the inside — not from requirements documents alone.
We design around real business rules
ERP should reflect how your approval chain actually works, how your commissions are calculated, and how your warehouse physically operates. We start from your rules, not from a generic data model.
We don't oversell modules
We scope ERP work to what your operations need. If you don't need HR in phase one, we don't build it. You get a smaller, working system sooner — not a large system that's partly functional.
Discovery before code
Every ERP engagement starts with a structured discovery phase: process mapping, data flow diagrams, and a written spec. We don't start development until we've agreed on what we're building.
Mobile field components are first-class
Sales reps and field workers get a dedicated Flutter app connected to the same backend — not a stripped-down web view. Field force usability is treated as a distinct design problem, not an afterthought.
Phased delivery reduces risk
ERP projects delivered as a single large release carry high risk. We phase delivery so your team can start using working modules while subsequent phases are in development.
