02 The Challenge

BusinessMan had a fairly rudimentary warehouse module. To fulfil their aim as the most comprehensive ERP system on the market, they needed a complete overhaul of this area. The existing module contained legacy code that required a full rewrite to support modern inventory management at scale.

03 Our Approach

After extensive planning sessions at the Computech offices, we designed a highly efficient warehouse module that tracks inventory movements, stock levels, and storage locations on a per-trading-company basis. The project also required revamps of the allocation, pick notes, and shipping modules. The system is now used by several large US companies managing inventory levels in the hundreds of thousands.

04 Key Features

Clean Code Architecture

Simple, efficient code design that makes debugging straightforward and keeps the codebase modular and reusable.

Assemblies & BOMs
