Transparent, Value-Driven Architecture
Custom ERP development, cloud ERP support, and ERP integration designed for your specific workflows, delivered with predictable monthly OPEX and a CTO-on-call.
Projects typically range from USD 500 to 2000 per month depending on complexity, scale, and integration requirements. This is a predictable operational expense, avoiding massive upfront capital costs.
Why Monthly?
Predictable OPEX: A monthly retainer means your software never becomes legacy. I am constantly updating, securing, and evolving your system as your business grows.
The Architecture Advantage

Off-the-Shelf SaaS
Cheap entry point, but forces your business to adapt to their software.

What does the monthly ERP retainer include?
The retainer covers development, hosting guidance, maintenance, bug fixes, workflow refinement, and direct technical advice from Gary.
Why not charge one large upfront project fee?
A monthly model keeps the system evolving with the business and avoids the risk of a large ERP build becoming outdated after launch.
Can the price change later?
Pricing depends on complexity, integrations, and support load. Any scope change is discussed before new work begins.
Are there per-user license fees?
No. The custom ERP model is designed around predictable operating cost rather than per-seat licensing that punishes growth.
