Company recommendations for bespoke software / application?

[acidrain]

Hi guys,

So recently our business has been looking at streamlining it's internal processes, of which right now the biggest priority is purchase orders and job expense tracking. Have not really found anything online that fully satisfies the needs which leads me to think this may be a scenario where custom software will be needed. The idea will be to start with this and slowly build more into it until we have a fully custom system.

Can be either software or web based.

Anyone got any recommendation, preferably in CPT, of companies that do this sort of thing and roughly would this even be an exercise worth exploring if say the budget is R100k?

Happy to answer any other questions if need be.

We moved our accounting from Pastel Partner to 1C Drive which is a fully customisable application hosted online by yourself.

User interface can be improved but the customisation is almost endless. Local CPT company offers customisation or you could do it internally if you have developers. They have other application based on the same platform.

They did a procurement process for us all they way from RFQ, selecting winning supplier, approvals from management to the finance office producing the PO to send to the supplier. Currently working on a document interface to scan or upload the supplier invoice and it would read the document and allocate in the accounting system.

Local company is called Rise SA Business Solutions. You should be able to find them on Google.

Ouch. That is tight.

what you need to do is thoroughly and rigorously document ALL of your business processes.

It is very easy for a bespoke system like this to end up as abandonware, if it cannot easily allow for broad changes in your BPM.
building a robust system takes time and money. That time and money can often be better spent on the setup of workflows and processes in an existing mature ERP

have you considered an open source ERP like ERPNext or Flectra?
