ERP Modernization for Process & Materials-Driven Industries
Modernize ERP without breaking operations. Built for process complexity, materials control, and scale.
See How We Build for Complex BusinessesProcess and materials-driven industries rely on ERPs that were often implemented years ago around finance, not operations. Over time, workarounds, spreadsheets, and bolt-on systems grow around the core ERP, creating fragility and slowing decision-making. This solution focuses on modernizing ERP environments so they support how operations actually run today, without risking business continuity.
Who This Is For
We usually work best with teams who know building software is more than just shipping code.
This is for teams who:
Process manufacturers running legacy ERP systems
Materials-driven industries with batch and compliance needs
Companies planning ERP upgrades or replacements
Operations leaders frustrated by ERP limitations
This may not fit for:
Businesses satisfied with finance-only ERP usage
Companies seeking instant full-system replacements
Teams unwilling to revisit existing workflows
Organizations without internal ownership of ERP change
the real problem
Why legacy ERPs hold operations back
Legacy ERPs struggle to handle batch behavior, traceability, compliance workflows, and real-time operational needs. Customizations pile up, upgrades become risky, and teams rely on manual processes to bridge gaps. Modernization efforts often fail because they attempt big-bang replacements instead of operationally safe transitions.
how this is usually solved
(and why it breaks)
common approaches
Attempt big-bang ERP replacements
Add heavy customizations to aging systems
Modernize reporting without fixing execution
Delay modernization until systems become critical risks
Where these approaches fall short
High implementation risk and downtime
Continued dependency on spreadsheets
Rising maintenance and upgrade costs
Low adoption by operations teams

let's build yoursFrequently asked questions
Not necessarily. Modernization can involve phased upgrades, module replacements, or hybrid approaches depending on risk and business needs.
Yes. The approach is designed to avoid disruption by modernizing in controlled, incremental phases.
We assess which customizations are essential and which can be removed by redesigning workflows more cleanly.
Absolutely. Compliance, traceability, and audit readiness are core drivers of the modernization strategy.
Timelines vary, but value is delivered progressively as each phase goes live rather than waiting for a full replacement.
About PySquad
PySquad works with businesses that have outgrown simple tools. We design and build digital operations systems for marketplace, marina, logistics, aviation, ERP-driven, and regulated environments where clarity, control, and long-term stability matter.
Our focus is simple: make complex operations easier to manage, more reliable to run, and strong enough to scale.
