From patchwork to platform.
An Australian software development company building the ERP that ties your operations together — sales, ops, inventory, scheduling, finance, reporting. Senior custom software developers. Your platform. Your IP. No per-user tax.
starts with a chat.
ERP modules we deliver.
The functional areas we routinely cover in a custom ERP build. Mix and match to fit your operation.
Sales, quoting & portals
Configurable orders, dealer or customer portals, quote-to-invoice workflows.
Inventory & procurement
Stock, purchase orders, supplier management, and accurate real-time positions.
Manufacturing & production
Work orders, bills of material, scheduling, and shop-floor visibility.
Dispatch & field operations
Job scheduling, resource allocation, digital worksheets, and proof of work.
Finance integrations
Push invoices, POs and payroll into Xero, MYOB, or your existing finance stack.
Reporting & analytics
One source of truth. Real numbers, not monthly spreadsheet reconciliations.
Why build your own?
There's no shortage of ERPs. Here's why businesses choose to build instead.
You own the platform
Not rented, not licensed. The code, the data, and the IP are yours from day one — an asset on the balance sheet.
Fits your operations
Built around your processes, not the other way around. No bending the business to fit the software.
No per-user tax
Replace per-seat licensing that scales painfully as you grow. Build once, scale without the per-user cost.
What does it cost?
ERP builds scale with the breadth of operations covered. Here's roughly where most engagements land.
Starter
From $100k / build
Focused ERP covering one or two core modules.
Growth
$400k / build
Multi-module ERP with integrations and reporting.
Enterprise
$750k+ / build
Full-scale enterprise platforms across the whole business.
Don't want the big CapEx spend up front?
Talk to us about our Bespoke SaaS delivery model — all the benefits of custom software, paid monthly, with full IP handover at the end of the term.
Drowning in spreadsheets and disconnected tools?
Tell us how your business actually runs today. We'll show you what consolidating it onto one platform you own actually looks like.
Built with your team, not just for them.
Every build begins with our fixed-price Discovery engagement. The aim is simple: understand how your team actually works, sketch the solution together, and prove the design before a single line of production code gets written. It's the discipline our clients hire us for.
Talk to the people who use it
We sit with the people who'll touch the software every day. Their pain points are your requirements. We listen for what slows them down today and where a tool built for them would change the day.
Map the work, not just the wishlist
The actual processes the software has to serve: intake, approvals, handoffs, the exceptions. We document them in your team's language, not ours, so everyone agrees on what's being built before anything gets built.
Sketch the screens together
Whiteboards, paper, low-fidelity mockups. Visual conversation surfaces disagreements about how the work really flows in seconds, disagreements that written specs would let slip silently into the build.
Build a clickable prototype
Realistic enough to test. Your team plays with it, finds what's wrong, and tells us what to fix, cheaply, before a line of production code exists. Most surprises surface here, not in user acceptance testing.
Ship, refine, repeat
Two-week sprints. Working software in front of your team continuously. They feed back, we refine, they feed back again, until the tool fits their day so well they'd resist going back.
WHY WE WORK THIS WAY
Visual conversation moves faster than written requirements, and your team can tell us what's wrong before we build it. Mockups and prototypes turn a 6-month spec debate into a 6-week design loop. Cheaper iteration. Fewer surprises. Software your team actually wants to use.
Custom ERPs in the wild.
New Age Caravans
One of Australia's largest caravan manufacturers replaced a paper-based ordering process across 25 dealerships with a single quote-to-delivery platform. Custom orders, production scheduling, QA, customer handover and warranty management — all in one system.
Qest Infrastructure
An Australian civil and underground utilities operator running across multiple states. We built Qest Hub — a custom platform managing the full lifecycle of field operations: scheduling, resource assignment, digital worksheets, invoicing and payroll exports.
Dimeo
Dimeo runs a complex operation across procurement, inventory, customer orders and dispatch. We built a custom ERP platform tailored to the specifics of their business, replacing a stack of disconnected tools with one source of truth.
The software is a perfect blend of the best of both our companies' thinking. We can't speak highly enough of the work Alliance Software has done.
