Custom Software

We specialize in writing custom software for almost any application.  We have developed an application architecture called ERPAlliance.

ERPAlliance is a software architecture  that defines the core components of an Enterprise Resource Planning system.

We use this architecture as the foundation around which we build a custom system that meets the requirements of a particular manufacturer or distributor.

We take this approach because other ERP software systems are too generic, and don’t allow the customization needed to meet custom requirements. A lot of manufacturers use ERP systems that don’t allow them to do everything they need to do, and have a lot of functionality that they do not use.

Because of the inherent flexibility of the ERPAlliance architecture, it can integrate with any other system, database, accounting package, etc., as well as with popular manufacturing hardware devices (stationary and handheld (radio frequency) barcode scanners and printers are also part of the system).

The system is browser-based, running on a company’s central server, allowing it to be accessed from any PC in the company network without any client installation process.

The ERPAlliance architecture includes software with screens that appear on wireless handheld scanners and stationary (wired or wireless) units.  These screens are browser pages just like the main ERPAlliance software.  That means the software applications designed for the terminals can also be run from any PC. All the terminals have integrated barcode scanners. 

The terminals are used on the floor of a plant or warehouse for the following functions which provide the ERPAlliance system with real-time process and inventory status:

Barcode label printing is initiated from either the main ERPAlliance software running on the server, or from the terminals.  All label printing is handled by a central barcode labeling print server.  The printers can be almost any major brand and be either wired or wireless.
