Why there is no single custom ERP price
A custom ERP is built around real operational requirements. Basic stock recording differs greatly from a system with multiple warehouses, store POS, transfer discrepancies and reliable e-commerce synchronisation.
A meaningful quote should describe exactly what will be delivered and tested. That begins with mapping the day-to-day workflow.
What actually drives development cost
The main factors are process complexity, required functional modules, third-party integrations, existing data migration, security and testing scope.
For example, partial receiving and discrepancy resolution is more complex than changing a stock figure. Reliable product and order synchronisation between ERP and PrestaShop also requires carefully designed rules.
i-2 does not charge per user or role
Our custom ERP projects do not add licence charges as the number of users grows or when different permission roles are required for managers, warehouse staff, employees and accountants.
Roles and permissions are designed according to the agreed workflows and security needs. Pricing is based on implementation scope and technical work, not fees for individual accounts.
Must existing systems be replaced?
Not necessarily. A business may keep its existing accounting or commercial system while using custom software for particular workflows or connecting the systems through an API.
A complementary application, an integration or a phased replacement may be more sensible than a complete rebuild.
How to get a useful custom ERP quote
Start with the operational questions: who records sales, who moves stock, how goods receipts are confirmed, what reporting is needed and what must be exchanged with an online store.
Then define priorities, deliverables, phases and testing. Third-party services, hosting or maintenance are considered separately where relevant. The pricing model is not based on an arbitrary per-user licence fee.
From requirements to real software
Sports Club CRM is one example of custom software designed around day-to-day tasks such as members, seasons, subscriptions and payments. It is not a warehouse ERP, but it illustrates why workflow-specific development matters.
The same approach applies to ERP/POS software across warehouses, inventory, sales and integrations. That analysis is what should precede a commercial proposal.
