Manufacturing ERP: CRM to Costing

I’m ready to kick-off a multi-phase build of a bespoke ERP for our mid-sized manufacturing plant. Phase 1-4 focuses on three core modules that need to fit together seamlessly: • CRM for our Sales team – Must deliver smooth lead management, clear pipeline tracking, and reliable sales forecasting so reps can see every deal stage at a glance. • Quotation Management – Generate, version and approve quotes quickly, pulling live costs from the BOM engine and pushing final numbers back into the CRM. • BOM Costing – Build detailed, multi-level bills of materials with automatic cost roll-ups, margin calculations and change-tracking that feeds straight into the quotation module. Endpoints, workflows and data structures should be future-proof so later phases (inventory, production, finance) can bolt on without refactoring. I’m technology-agnostic but favour mainstream stacks that offer a vibrant plugin ecosystem and straightforward maintenance. Deliverables for this engagement 1. Functional specs and wireframes for each module 2. Demo-ready MVP covering CRM, Quotation and BOM costing 3. Source code in a git repo with clean commit history 4. Basic test suite and deployment instructions 5. Short hand-off session and documentation Clean architecture, intuitive UI and solid data integrity matter more than bells and whistles at this stage. If you’ve shipped manufacturing ERPs or similar modular systems before, let’s talk timelines and milestones.
