thanks for taking a look. very good read of the state of things. Netsuite level accounting and mrp v2 are what we’re building now. We focused on running a manufacturing business from an “everyone else” perspective first.
I think you’re right in a sense that we’re building the thing I would have wanted — and you’re also right in a sense that there are people out there that know more than me. The key is to learn from them.
lol, essentially yes. sorry about that. there's a lot of regulations around software that's used for aerospace and defense, and that's where a lot of the new builds are happening these days. but here's a little decoder ring:
ERP: the core system that manages/plans everything from accounting to inventory
MES: the shop floor
QMS: the quality system that keeps track of what's went wrong and how we're fixing it
CMMC: government regulation
NIST 800-171: spec that drives the regulation
there's a lot of good reasons, but the best is there's no perfect off the shelf ERP. things need to become business specific. open-source allows anyone to make the system specific to their business.
Why would you be embarrassed? when bootstrap came out it took like 10 years for websites to start looking "not bootstrap". These people are just looking for something to complain, maybe GP is a designer and it's running out of work to do... As long as the product is solid...
founder here. extremely accurate comment. we had a customer send us this website recently. they said "we think you need a better website, we made this with claude"
