Custom ERP · Production, Inventory, Invoicing, HR unified and subscription-free
Production, inventory, HR, invoicing · one single application, zero silosEvery operational flow in your company · from supplier order to customer invoice, from production launch to leave balance · converges in a single platform built around the way you actually work. Not around the data model of an international software vendor.
A single dashboard to run your entire organisationAvailable stock, orders in production, cash flow forecast, HR indicators — one interface, updated continuously, with automatic alerts on critical anomalies. Your decisions will never again rest on an Excel export consolidated the evening before.
One-time investment, zero subscription · your ERP belongs to youSAP, Oracle, Sage: hundreds of euros per user per month, with no ceiling — and every new hire mechanically increases the bill. A COSMOS WEB custom ERP: a one-time investment, delivered in source code that belongs to you, with no recurring charge that grows with your headcount. You hire 10 people? Your ERP cost doesn't move a single euro.
6 reasons why a custom-developed ERP outperforms generic solutions
How many times a week do your teams re-enter the same information into two different pieces of software? How much time do they spend consolidating Excel exports so the CEO has a complete picture on Monday morning? A COSMOS WEB custom ERP eliminates these frictions at the source: each piece of information entered once circulates automatically through all relevant modules. Your organisation gains in fluidity, reliability, and real operational time.
Each module built to your business rules — production, inventory, invoicing, HR
Production, inventory, purchasing, invoicing, HR — each module is built according to your own logic, not the standard model of an international software vendor. Your item nomenclature, your stock management rules, your automatic reorder thresholds, your invoicing cycle: the ERP speaks your teams' language from the very first day of use.
100% business-specific modules→
Stock-out, production delay, overdue payment — automatic alerts before the problem takes hold
Available stock, orders in production, invoices awaiting payment, ongoing leave — all centralised on a management dashboard updated continuously. You steer from a single interface. Automatic alerts on anomalies before they become critical: stock threshold breached, production delay on a manufacturing order, overdue customer payment. You act at the right moment — not after the problem has set in.
Unified alerts and management→
Zero re-entry, zero errors · information entered once flows everywhere
Information entered once flows automatically through every relevant module — without human intervention, without delay, without any risk of discrepancy. Concrete example: a validated customer order automatically generates the production order, triggers restocking if stock is insufficient, updates stock levels in real time, and triggers invoicing at delivery. No more manual Excel exports between two pieces of software, no more copy-paste as a source of errors, and no more data inconsistencies that cost several hours of unnecessary work every week.
Automated operational flows→

Your application infrastructure supports your organisation for years, whatever direction your growth takes.
Custom ERP — costs, timelines, modules, migration: all your questions answered
Torn between Odoo, SAP, Sage and a custom-developed ERP? Wondering what budget to plan for, which modules to prioritise, how your existing data migration will work, or what realistic lead time to expect before go-live? Here are the precise answers our prospects value most before launching their ERP project.
What is the concrete difference between a custom ERP and Odoo, SAP or Sage?
Odoo, SAP and Sage offer generic modules designed for thousands of different companies · you adapt your processes to their logic, not the other way around. A COSMOS WEB custom ERP is developed around your actual operations: your item nomenclature, your stock management rules, your production cycle, your internal approval workflows. Fundamental difference: you own the source code entirely. No per-user subscription, no dependency on a third-party vendor's roadmap, no customisation surcharge billed as a package. And if your user volume doubles · your ERP cost doesn't change.
What does a custom ERP cost, and is it really cost-effective compared to Odoo, SAP or Sage?
SAP Business One starts at €150/user/month, Sage 100 Cloud from €80/user/month, Odoo Enterprise from €24.90/user/month · recurring charges with no ceiling that increase with every new hire and every vendor price revision. A COSMOS WEB custom ERP represents a one-time investment, with no subscription indexed to your number of users. From 8 to 10 active users over a three-year horizon, a custom ERP is generally less expensive in total cost of ownership (TCO) than Odoo Enterprise · and you own your tool outright, with no future pricing dependency. Note on Odoo: its low entry price (€24.90/user/month) does not account for the customisation, training, and maintenance costs that accumulate quickly on a complex business ERP. A detailed quote, including a 3-year TCO comparison, is produced free of charge after an initial 30-minute conversation, with no commitment.
How long does it take for a custom ERP to be delivered and operational?
Between 12 and 20 weeks for a complete ERP, depending on the complexity of the modules (production, inventory, HR, invoicing), the number of user roles, and integrations with your existing tools. COSMOS WEB delivers each module incrementally — you test and validate under real conditions before moving on to the next. Detailed functional scoping, wireframes for each interface validated by you, development, business acceptance testing with your operational teams: no scope drift emerges at the end of the project. A module-by-module roadmap is delivered from the start, with weekly progress updates. You know at every moment where your project stands.
What modules can a COSMOS WEB custom ERP include — and can more be added after go-live?
A COSMOS WEB custom ERP can integrate all the modules your organisation needs, including · Inventory and procurement management: real-time stock levels, automatic reorder thresholds, location management · Production tracking and manufacturing orders: MO launch, traceability, production times, scrap rates · Purchasing and supplier management: orders, receipts, supplier evaluation, lead times · Customer invoicing and payment tracking: quotes, delivery notes, invoices, reminders · Human resources management: leave tracking, expense reports, schedules, contracts · Management dashboard: real-time KPIs, automatic alerts, custom reporting · Connectors and integrations: EDI, e-commerce ERP partners, REST API · You start with priority modules and add the following ones as you grow, on the same technical foundation | without migration, without changing tools, without reconstruction.
How does the migration of our data from Sage, SAP, Excel or Access to a custom ERP work?
Yes, and migration is included in every ERP project. It takes place in four steps · Extraction: export of your data from your current tool (Sage 100, SAP Business One, Excel files, Access or other). · Cleaning and normalisation: identification of duplicates, incomplete data, and structural inconsistencies before import. · Structured import in pre-production: your teams validate each dataset in the test environment before any switchover. · Planned switchover — the transition to the new ERP is triggered during a low-activity window (weekend, annual closure) to minimise any operational disruption. | Your teams continue working on the old tool throughout the development period. The switchover is planned and fully supported.
Where is our ERP data hosted — production, finance, HR? Is GDPR compliance built in natively?
Your ERP data — production data, financial and accounting data, HR and payroll data — is hosted on the infrastructure of your choice, in France or in Europe, under your exclusive control. No US software vendor accesses your industrial, commercial, or payroll data. No risk of transfer outside the EU under the US Cloud Act or FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). COSMOS WEB integrates GDPR compliance from the design stage: · Role-based access rights management per business function (production operator, purchasing manager, CFO, CEO) · Comprehensive audit logs of every access and modification · Segregation of sensitive data (payroll data accessible by HR only) · Secure deletion of personal data on request (right to erasure) · Full export of all your data at any time | You remain sovereign over your entire operational asset — production, finance, human resources — with no conditions or exit fees.
Is the ERP easy for our operational teams to adopt? Can it be administered and updated without a developer?
Yes on both counts. The interface for each module is designed for business users, not IT professionals: · The production operator sees only the manufacturing orders that concern them — not the invoicing module, not HR data. · The purchasing manager accesses their suppliers, orders, and reminders. · The CFO consults the financial dashboard, outstanding invoices, and cash flow indicators. · The CEO manages from the global management dashboard, with their alerts and key KPIs. | Each role has a streamlined interface, scoped to their remit — no complex menus, no global settings to master. An administration back-office allows your IT manager or head of IT to manage users, access rights, and business settings without calling the developer. A hands-on training session is included at the delivery of each module.
What maintenance and scalability does COSMOS WEB offer after the ERP is delivered?
COSMOS WEB provides structured post-delivery support and offers maintenance contracts including: · Technical supervision and proactive monitoring of your ERP · Security updates and patches · Response to critical incidents within 24 business hours Functional evolutions — new logistics module, EDI connector, e-commerce interface, new business approval workflow — are ordered à la carte, on a quote basis, on the same solid technical architecture. You never start from scratch. Guaranteed single point of contact: the team that designed and developed your ERP is the one that handles maintenance and evolves the platform. Not a generalist helpdesk that rediscovers your production process with every ticket raised.
