Manufacturing

Manufacturing software developmentfor ordering, dealer portals, inventory and ERP

Our manufacturing work is two real systems: a cabinet maker's ordering, dealer portal and inventory, moved off PHP 5.6, and a custom ERP for a fabrication wholesaler. Here is what each involved.

What we have actually built for manufacturers

Two systems, both on the business side of a factory: the software that takes an order, prices it, tracks stock and sends the invoice. Neither is plant-floor software. We have no published work connecting to PLCs, SCADA or sensors, so if that is what you need, we are not the right first call.

A cabinet manufacturer's system, moved from PHP 5.6 to Laravel 13

A cabinet manufacturer and seller in Canada and the US ran ordering, quoting, its dealer portal and inventory on PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.0. Their engineering team and dealers used it every day, and it was holding back every other change the business wanted, since the stack was unpatched and hard to hire for.

We audited the old code and schema, rebuilt the application on Laravel 13 with PHP 8.5, moved the database to MySQL 8 with data validation at every step, and replaced the front end with a Next.js application. Each workflow the engineering team depended on was verified against the old system in parallel. It took about eight months and is now live.

If your own system is in a similar state, the Laravel upgrade service explains how we price and run that work.

A custom ERP for a fabrication and wholesale business

Between about 2012 and 2014 we built an ERP for a fabrication and wholesale company in India, over roughly two years. It covered quoting with material and labour costing, production tracking, inventory and SKU management across locations, dispatch, VAT billing and accounting, management reporting, and a login where customers placed orders directly.

Month-end closing became faster and stock figures matched the floor. The stack reflects the period, and it was our first large ERP. The order-to-cash and production patterns from it are ones we still use.

Questions from manufacturers

Can you connect to our machines or PLCs?

We have no published project doing that. Our manufacturing work covers ordering, quoting, inventory, dispatch, billing and portals. If your need is machine data, ask us directly and we will tell you plainly whether we are a fit.

Our system is old but it works. Do we have to replace it?

Not automatically. We read the code and schema first, then recommend an upgrade, a rebuild or leaving it alone. The risk to weigh is that an unpatched stack gets harder to secure and to staff each year.

Tell us what runs your orders today

Name the system, how old it is and who depends on it. We will tell you whether it needs an upgrade, a rebuild or just some attention.

We reply within one business day (IST).
