Off-the-shelf ERP or a custom ERP?

By Reejan R Gopan · Software & Systems Engineer, Dubai, UAE

  • Off-the-shelf (Odoo, Zoho One, Dynamics 365 Business Central): faster to start and standard for accounting, sales and inventory — best when your processes are fairly standard
  • Custom ERP: fits unusual workflows exactly — site-based workforces, complex overtime or payroll rules, industry-specific operations
  • Hybrid (often best): keep proven accounting software, and build custom modules for the parts that make your business different, connected by APIs

Reejan builds custom business platforms (WAQTI: attendance, overtime, leave, payroll) and custom ERP and CRM systems for companies, connecting to Zoho Books rather than rebuilding accounting. reejangopan.me/services/complete-business-setup
