Operations software that fits the floor

ERP services built around how you actually operate

Design Dev is a London team delivering modular operations software when NetSuite-sized suites are the wrong scale and Excel is the current ERP. Inventory, job cards, purchasing, light finance hooks — live in slices, not a fake all-in-one nobody logs into.Statutory accounts stay in accounting products unless you truly need more. We build the operational middle that suites ignore, and we go live on the painful module first.
01

Custom ERP / Inventory

On hand, reserved, locations — stock truth over pretty ERP dashboards.
Custom ERP / Inventory
02

ERP Job & Work Orders

Status, parts and time so the floor and the office share one picture.

03

ERP Purchasing

POs, receipts and suppliers without a second spreadsheet.

Modular ERP Delivery

Go live on the painful module first. The next module only after adoption.
Modular ERP Delivery

A clear ERP process from operations map to a live module

01

ERP discovery — walk the process

Warehouse, sales, finance — the real path, including the Excel hacks.

02

ERP module slice

Pick the pain: stock, jobs or purchasing. That is the first ERP go-live.

03

ERP data & integrations

What is master, what is fed from Xero or Shopify. Dual masters sell air.

04

ERP pilot on one team

Measure if they stop using the sheet. That is the only ERP success metric that matters at first.

05

ERP expand

Next module only after adoption. A 40-screen ERP nobody uses is a failed project.

Why custom ERP is a programme, not a plugin

Why custom ERP is a programme, not a plugin

If you need full statutory finance, buy an accounting suite and integrate. Design Dev builds the operational middle — stock, jobs, purchasing — that suites ignore or overcharge SMEs to configure.Modular ERP you can run beats a 40-screen “system” nobody logs into. Excel is not an ERP. Neither is a demo warehouse.

  • Honest ERP scope vs full suites
  • One ERP module live before the next
  • Master data rules
  • Integrations to Xero and commerce
  • Roles for warehouse and office
  • Barcode/scan when it pays
  • Audit of stock movements
  • Training on the floor

A London ERP partner that will not sell you a fake all-in-one suite

If warehouse staff stay on paper, the ERP failed — whatever the dashboard says.

Stock rules, SKUs and locations change. The module must follow.
