We are a small distribution company serving gas stations & C-stores within a 100-mile radius. No shipping/e-commerce. We need a complete ERP system with a Progressive Web App (PWA) for customer ordering, modern UX/UI, and integrated operations/accounting functionality. We are currently using a standalone SQL/RPT .exe ERP (self-hosted on Windows Homegroup LAN). We have demoed a few different stacks (React/Node, Odoo, forked Odoo) and are open to any stack as long as it meets our workflow requirements. ⚠️ Important: Two previous developers backed out due to the complexity.
