Websites with ERP integration
Run an ERP? Your website should read from it and write back to it. We integrate with your existing ERP system, or work with you to scope a new one, so stock, pricing, customer and order data stay in step, and new systems blend with your legacy software without lengthy training. Priority ERP projects are delivered with our sister company ABS.
- Live stock and customer-specific pricing
- Web orders created as ERP sales orders
- Trade portals with invoices, statements and reorders
- Monitoring and easy-to-read performance reports, so failed syncs are caught early

Hosted with our partners at Kinsta, and built to grow as your business does.

Consulting
Scope and select
Strategy? It’s literally in our name.
You can tell something isn’t working. Pinning down what, and what to do about it, is the hard part. Does any of this sound familiar?
- Your website is slow, dated or a pain to update
- Orders, bookings or stock have to be entered into multiple systems
- A spreadsheet only one person understands is quietly running the business
- Your tools don’t talk to each other, so the numbers never match
- You’ve so many separate software applications that you don’t know whether they all need replacing, integrating or routing through middleware
- You’ve been quoted for work and can’t tell if it’s needed, the right fix or the right price
- You’re tied into an existing contract and unsure it’s still the right fit or fair value
We find out why
A full website audit, plus a review of your systems and processes. We illustrate what’s going wrong so everyone in the room can see it. You get a clear, costed plan, in priority order.
Then it’s your call
We implement it
Our team builds the plan, then maintains and supports it.
You take it away
The report is yours to take to any team, now or later.
Alongside every project
We focus on maintenance, so you can focus on the business. Support carries on after launch, and our consultants can help before you have decided what to build.
Support from real people
Every support request is read by a member of our team and answered within four working hours. There’s no middleman: you work one-on-one with our front and back-end developers.
Maintenance and hosting
Maintenance through the year, managed hosting on Kinsta, security and plugin updates, backups and a named developer for changes. Monthly reports summarise server stats, GA4 and Google Search Console in a way that makes sense to your team.
Digital planning
Help planning digital transformation projects, from choosing an ERP to mapping how your website, POS and booking systems should connect.
Audits and health checks
Website performance audits, health checks and cyber security reviews to protect your business and customer data, plus cyber security training for your team. A clear list of what to fix first.
