Custom ERP for businesses that move real equipment.
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, I build the system your business actually runs on — assets, inventory, scheduling, billing, jobs, payroll, maintenance — for equipment rental, heavy machinery parts, construction, mining and lending. Thirty years of it, most of it still running.
What goes into it
Including the unglamorous parts.
Inventory and parts that can be counted
Bin locations, annual counts, and a parts catalogue that knows the machines — make, model, model year, and the aftermarket cross-references a parts desk lives on.
Jobs, crews, time and payroll
Scheduling, timesheets and clock-ins from the field, through to payroll and the tax slips at year end.
Billing that matches the work
Invoices generated from what actually happened in the field, with an audit trail behind every change.
Sales and phones in the same system
CRM, inbound call routing and IVR wired into the customer record, so staff see the whole customer before they pick up.
Mobile and native apps
Field apps for iOS and Android, or an installable web app with no store at all.
Infrastructure one person can run
AWS set up to stay cheap and patched, with no platform team needed to keep the lights on.
Questions people ask first
Straight answers before the first call.
Why custom instead of NetSuite, Odoo or another off-the-shelf ERP?
Buy off-the-shelf if it fits. Custom pays off when your operation's real workflow — the yard, the parts counter, the crew — keeps getting bent to fit the software instead of the other way round.
Do you know heavy equipment, or just software?
Both. I know Caterpillar, Komatsu and John Deere machines by make, model and year, and I built the catalogue systems that encode the parts cross-references.
How do you start?
By watching the operation run — standing at the counter, walking the yard, seeing exactly where the current tools slow people down — before building anything.
Do you work outside the Lower Mainland?
Yes — clients are across Canada and the US. If you are within reach I would rather come to you and watch the operation run; otherwise the work runs over calls and screen shares, the same way the systems are deployed.
