Custom ERP Software Built Around How Your UK Business Actually Runs.

TechAuditPros builds and runs your custom ERP one agreed monthly fee — that covers your dedicated engineering team, design, development, integrations, hosting guidance and ongoing support, with no per-seat licences and no separate implementation invoice. For orientation, published UK prices for subscription ERP sit around £74–£112 per user per month (Oracle NetSuite from £74, Epicor Kinetic from £75, SAP Business One from £77, Microsoft Dynamics 365 from £82, Infor CloudSuite from £112), Sage 200 starts near £374 a month, and independent UK research puts realistic all-in cost at £15,000–£60,000 a year once implementation and support are counted. Your scope call ends with a fixed monthly number, not an estimate.

Manufacturing ERP adds the production layer that generic ERP leaves out: bills of materials, work orders and routing, MRP planning against real stock and lead times, shop-floor status, work-in-progress and scrap, batch or lot traceability, and true cost of goods manufactured. If you make, assemble, machine or blend anything, that layer is where the money leaks — and it is what we build first for UK manufacturers and job shops.

MRP (material requirements planning) works out what to make or buy and when, from your bills of materials, stock and lead times. ERP is the wider system of record around it — orders, purchasing, production, stock and finance in one place. WMS (warehouse management) runs the physical warehouse: locations, picking routes, goods-in and stock accuracy. Most UK SMEs need ERP with MRP inside it; a separate WMS only pays for itself once the warehouse is big or complex enough to need directed picking.

Most UK engagements reach a working first module — usually stock, orders or quoting, whichever hurts most — within 6 to 10 weeks. The full system then rolls out in phases over roughly 4 to 9 months, with your team using each module on real data as it ships rather than waiting for one big launch. For comparison, published UK implementation timelines for subscription ERP are commonly 3 to 6 months for a small business and 6 to 12 for mid-market, before customisation.

Yes, once you are running on Xero or Sage plus three or four disconnected tools and a growing stack of spreadsheets — that is exactly where a right-sized custom system pays for itself, and where per-user subscription pricing starts to hurt as you hire. If you are a team of five with one simple sales process, an off-the-shelf tool is probably still the better answer, and we will tell you that on the call.

Yes. Where the system touches VAT we keep the digital records MTD requires and push the figures to your accounting system — Xero, Sage or QuickBooks — which files the return through its own HMRC-recognised connection. We do not ask you to replace the software your accountant already trusts; the ERP becomes the system of record that feeds it, with a clean digital audit trail from order to invoice.

Yes. Two-way syncs with Xero, Sage, QuickBooks Online, Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Stripe, GoCardless, HubSpot and Salesforce are scoped during discovery and built on the tools’ official APIs. Payroll exports for BrightPay, Sage Payroll or your bureau are included where needed, and we can automate the workplace-pension side of auto-enrolment so contributions are not re-keyed by hand.

In a UK cloud region inside an account you own — AWS London (eu-west-2) or Google Cloud europe-west2 by default, so the data does not leave the UK. We work under an NDA and a data processing agreement naming you as controller and us as processor, with role-based access you control and can revoke, weekly encrypted backups and no shared credentials. Access from our team in India is covered by that agreement and the UK international transfer addendum.

You do, fully — the repository, the database and the documentation are yours from day one. If you ever want to move development in-house or to another supplier, nothing is locked behind us.

Our engineers work from Kochi, which runs 4.5 hours ahead of London in summer (BST) and 5.5 hours ahead in winter (GMT). In practice you get a live overlap window every UK morning and early afternoon for calls, Slack or Teams, and anything you send at the end of your day is picked up before ours ends. You get a weekly demo and a monthly written report from the same team, first call to hundredth deploy.

Cloud by default — cheaper to run, easier to back up, and reachable from every site and warehouse. If you have a regulatory or connectivity reason to keep the system on your own servers, we can deploy on-premise or into a private cloud instead.

A subscription ERP is one product every customer shares, priced per user, that you configure around; a custom ERP is coded around your workflows, priced flat, and changes whenever your business does. Subscriptions win when your processes are standard and your headcount is stable; custom wins when they are not, or when per-seat fees are climbing faster than the business.

No contract — engagements are month to month and you can pause or stop at any time, keeping the code and the data either way. Invoices are issued from India in pounds sterling with no UK VAT added; a UK VAT-registered business accounts for it under the reverse charge and normally reclaims it in the same return. Your accountant will confirm your position.
