Frequently Asked Questions

When are SaaS tools enough?

SaaS tools are often enough when the process is standard, the team can adapt easily, and integrations do not create heavy manual work.

When does a custom ERP-connected system make sense?

It makes sense when the business process, reporting, approvals, or data flow are specific enough that generic tools create too much friction.

Does custom mean building everything from scratch?

No. A practical system can connect existing tools and add only the workflow layer the business actually needs.
