Is It Really Possible to Build an ERP in 3 Months for £60K?

Most people assume a proper rebuild means a year, a big team, and a number with six zeros. We didn't take that path, and we're walking through exactly what we did instead.

What others have said

They found risks in our system that three previous vendors had missed.

— Operations Director, UK manufacturer

We avoided a rebuild we were about to commit £600k to.

— Managing Director, Distribution group

The problem

£700K or "vibe coding". Neither is the answer.

Most rebuilds like this get quoted at a year, a team of twelve, and roughly £700K. Meanwhile, everyone's heard of AI "vibe coding" that looks fast in a demo and falls apart the moment real users touch it.

Neither one is the honest answer for a system your business actually depends on. We found what sits between them, and it's what this session is built to show you.

If several of these describe your situation, the session is built for you.

You're responsible for an ERP or core business system, and it's getting expensive or risky to keep as is

You've been quoted a large budget and a long timeline to replace it

You're curious about AI-assisted development, but not convinced it can be trusted for something this important

Live session agenda

How the economics changed—and what still has to be done properly

Live Q&A throughout. Bring the specifics of your own system.

01
The Case Study: An ERP Built in 3 Months for £60K
What the system looked like before, why the traditional estimate landed at £700K, and what a small team actually did differently.
02
Why This Doesn't Work as a Shortcut for Every System
The discovery work behind these numbers is what made the economics possible, not a shortcut that applies automatically. What has to be true about your own system first.
03
Warning Signs Your System Needs Checking
Manual workarounds, one person holding all the logic, reports built in Excel, disconnected systems, undocumented business rules, and the checklist worth running before anything else.
04
The Four Options: Leave It, Integrate, Modernise, or Replace
How to choose without overpaying for scale you don't need.
05
Why Full Replacement Isn't Always the Safest First Step
The common mistake of jumping straight to a rebuild instead of assessing what's actually at risk first.
06
How to Modernise in Phases Without Disrupting the Business
A practical approach without a big-bang cutover, and where to prioritise first if you decide a rebuild is the right call.
