How We Rebuilt a Manufacturing ERP and Eliminated $350K in SaaS Fees
Discover how we migrated a mid-market manufacturing firm from legacy SaaS to a custom, owned ERP built on Next.js and Postgres, achieving massive ROI.
The Problem
The client was paying per-seat licenses for three disconnected systems (SAP Business One for inventory, Salesforce for CRM, and a custom legacy app for shop floor tracking). Data reconciliation took 15 hours a week, and licensing costs were scaling unsustainably.
Our Custom Solution
We engineered a unified, headless ERP using Next.js for a lightning-fast frontend and PostgreSQL for a robust, typed backend. We integrated IoT sensors directly into the custom platform to track shop floor metrics in real-time.
The Outcome
The client completely eliminated their SAP and Salesforce subscriptions. The custom platform is an owned asset with zero per-seat fees, paying for its development cost within 4 months.
