What size of business do you work with?

Mostly businesses between roughly 10 and 500 people — large enough that spreadsheets and WhatsApp have genuinely broken down, small enough that the owner is still close to operations. Below that, the honest answer is usually a cheaper off-the-shelf tool, and I will tell you so.

How do engagements usually start?

With a free 30-minute call to understand the problem, followed by a paid discovery sprint if it looks like a fit. Discovery produces a written blueprint, a platform recommendation and an honest budget — and it is deliberately structured so you can take that document to any implementer, including one who is not me.

Do you work remotely or on site?

Both. Discovery and go-live benefit enormously from being physically present in the operation. Build, review and advisory work runs well remotely. Most engagements mix the two, and I say up front which phases need me in the building.

What does an ERP implementation cost?

For an SME covering sales, purchase, inventory and accounts, the realistic total — licences, implementation, migration and training — usually lands in the low-to-mid six figures in rupees for open-source platforms, and materially higher for proprietary suites with per-user licensing. Anyone quoting a firm number before discovery is guessing. Discovery exists precisely to replace that guess with a figure you can budget against.

Discovery is a fixed fee. Implementation is milestone-based against the blueprint. Training and advisory are either per-session or retained monthly. I do not bill open-ended hourly time for delivery work — that arrangement rewards the wrong things.

ERP · Automation · Reconciliation · AI

Software that finally fits how you work

Q: What exactly do you do?

Three connected things. I implement ERP and automation systems for growing businesses; I integrate the tools a business already runs so they behave as one system; and I train business owners so the capability stays in-house after I leave. Where it makes sense, I also build and operate aggregation structures that give groups of small businesses shared leverage.

Hi, I'm Devendra Jangid. I help business owners get their systems working properly — the right ERP, the manual work automated, the accounts reconciling themselves, and AI doing the boring jobs. I've trained and supported over 100 business owners so far.

Sound familiar?

You probably recognise at least two of these

Nearly every business I meet arrives with some version of the same four problems. None of them are really software problems — which is exactly why buying more software never fixes them.

Your numbers arrive too late

Month-end takes two weeks. By the time you spot a problem, it already happened last quarter.

Every system says something different

The website, the ERP, your accountant's file and the warehouse register never quite agree — and someone spends all day making them.

Growing means hiring more people

Every jump in volume needs more staff, because the work that grows is the manual work.

A software project that stalled

Money spent, half-live system, everyone quietly back on spreadsheets — and nobody will tell you whether to fix it or start over.

What I actually build

The specific things that save you money

Not vague promises about digital transformation. These are the concrete pieces I put in place, and most of them pay for themselves.

Orders & buying

Auto order management

Orders raised automatically from real sales patterns and stock cover, so you stop running out of fast movers and stop overbuying slow ones.

Purchase automation

Purchase requests, approvals, POs and goods receipt in one flow, with three-way matching that checks every invoice for you.

Lower operating cost

The repetitive work in your operation timed, costed and removed — usually paying for itself long before the project ends.

Vendor & quotation management

Vendor records, quotation requests and comparisons in one place, so buying decisions are made on the numbers rather than on whoever called last.

Money & accuracy

Accounting automation

Vouchers, journals and postings created from the transaction that caused them, instead of being typed in again at month end.

Bank reconciliation

Bank statements matched to your books automatically every day. You review the handful that did not match, not the thousands that did.

Supplier & customer reconciliation

Ledgers matched against supplier and customer statements automatically, so disputes are settled with evidence in minutes.

Revenue leakage checks

Automated validations that catch the quiet losses — wrong prices, missed schemes, unbilled work, short payments — while you can still recover them.

Money movement & compliance

International remittance & forex

Cross-border transfer and forex operations with rate control, margin management, partner settlement and the compliance checks built into the flow.

Domestic money transfer

Agent networks, float and limit control, KYC enforcement and same-day settlement reconciliation for domestic transfer businesses.

Compliance & audit trails

Statutory checks enforced the moment data is entered, plus a full record of who changed what — so an audit becomes a report instead of a scramble.

AI & modernisation

AI & agentic automation

AI agents and n8n workflows that take over the repetitive desk work — reading documents, chasing follow-ups, preparing reports, answering routine questions.

Legacy system reverse engineering

Old desktop systems nobody documented, mapped into a proper blueprint — then rebuilt as modern web software without losing what the business relies on.

System integration

Your ERP, POS, website, marketplaces, banks and logistics partners connected so information moves once and every system agrees.

Voice & edge devices

Speech-driven systems running on open-source models and low-cost hardware, so staff can work hands-free without audio leaving your network.

Data you can trust

Data pipelines

Scheduled jobs in Python and R that pull, clean and load your data reliably — and shout when a run fails instead of failing quietly.

Data quality checks

Automated validation on every load — totals, duplicates, volumes, shape — so bad data is stopped before it reaches a report or a decision.

Bug hunting

The intermittent failure nobody can pin down, traced to its actual root cause with evidence — then fixed so it stays fixed.

Dashboards & MIS

The numbers you actually decide on, ready every morning on your phone, with exceptions pushed to you instead of waiting to be found.

How we'd work together

Twelve ways I can help

Most people start with one of these and grow into two or three, because businesses rarely have just an ERP problem or just an automation problem.

All services

ERP Implementation & Consulting

From selection to go-live, without the six-figure disaster

Most ERP projects fail on process, not software. I map how your business actually runs, choose the right platform for that reality, configure it around your workflows, migrate your data cleanly, and stay with your team until the system is the way people work — not a licence you pay for and ignore.

Business Process Automation

Remove the manual work that quietly eats your margin

Every growing business runs on invisible manual labour — re-typing orders, chasing approvals on WhatsApp, building the same report every Monday. I find that work, quantify what it costs you, and automate it with workflows, integrations and small purpose-built tools that your team actually adopts.

Accounting, Reconciliation & Revenue Assurance

Stop losing money you never knew you were losing

Most businesses lose a slice of their margin quietly — a wrong price here, a missed scheme there, a short payment nobody checked. I automate the accounting entries, match every ledger daily, and add the validations that catch those losses while you can still recover them.

AI & Agentic Automation

Hand the boring, repeated work to software

Every business has work that needs doing daily but needs no real judgement — reading invoices, chasing approvals, preparing the same report, answering the same twelve questions. AI agents and n8n workflows can take that on. I build the ones that genuinely work, and I am honest about the ones that do not.

Data Engineering & Analytics

Numbers you can actually trust

Every report is only as good as the data underneath it. I build the pipelines that pull your data together, clean it, check it, and keep checking it — so when a number looks wrong, you find out from the system rather than from a customer.

Business & Technology Integration

Make your systems behave like one business

Your ERP, website, CRM, accounting software, marketplace listings, payment gateway and logistics partners each hold a piece of the truth. I connect them so a single order flows end to end without a human copying anything, and so the numbers agree across every system.

End-to-End Development & Deployment

Architecture, build, ship, monitor — one accountable owner

When off-the-shelf software genuinely does not fit, I build it: web applications, customer portals, internal tools and business platforms. Requirements through architecture, development, deployment, monitoring and handover — with infrastructure choices that keep running costs honest.

Legacy System Modernisation & Reverse Engineering

That old system nobody understands? I map it and rebuild it

Plenty of businesses run on a desktop system built fifteen years ago by someone long gone, with no documentation and a vendor who barely answers. It still holds every rule the business runs on. I take those systems apart, write down what they actually do, and rebuild them properly.

Debugging & Bug Hunting

The bug nobody else can find

Some bugs survive months of effort — the one that only happens at month end, the total that is off by a few rupees, the job that fails silently once a week. Finding those is a specific skill: read the system, form a theory, prove it with evidence. It's the part of this work I enjoy most.

Voice AI & Edge Hardware

Speech-driven systems that run on your own hardware

Voice is the easiest interface there is for people whose hands are busy — a warehouse, a shop counter, a workshop. I build speech systems on open-source models that run on your own machines, so there is no per-minute cloud bill and no recordings leaving your building.

Business Owner Training & Mentorship

The capability stays with you after I leave

I have trained and supported over 100 business owners on how to run technology decisions themselves — reading a vendor proposal, sizing an ERP budget, holding a developer accountable, reading their own operational numbers. Consulting solves this quarter's problem; capability solves the next ten.

Business Aggregation & Growth Partnerships

Turn a network of businesses into shared leverage

Individually, small businesses pay retail for everything — technology, logistics, procurement, distribution, expertise. Aggregated, the same businesses negotiate as one. I build and operate those structures: shared platforms, vendor networks, partner channels and the governance that keeps them working.

What I'm building right now

Live projects, this year

Client names stay private, so here is the work itself. All three are running today, not case studies from five years ago.

Pharmacy retail · multi-state

Head-office operations platform for a pharmacy retail chain

The system the head office runs on. New store openings, the statutory licences each site needs, vendor quotations and purchase orders, recurring utility bills, the asset register and an internal ticket desk — all in one place instead of six inboxes.

New-site onboarding tracked against a full statutory checklist

Recurring bills generated automatically each cycle
Role-based access with two-factor sign-in

Legacy modernisation

Reverse engineering a legacy ERP into a modern web system

An old desktop ERP holding decades of business logic, with no documentation and no vendor support worth having. I mapped the entire system into a written blueprint, then began rebuilding it as modern web software — keeping every rule the business depends on, and none of the original code.

How I work

Understand first. Build second. Never the other way round.

Almost every failed project I've been called in to rescue started building software in week one. Two weeks of watching how you really work is the cheapest insurance you can buy.

More about me

1
I come and watch
I sit with your team and follow the real workflow — including every workaround. Those workarounds are usually the requirements nobody wrote down.
2
You get a plan and a real number
A written plan, the right platform with my reasoning shown, and an honest budget. It's useful to you even if you hire someone else to build it.
3
You see it every two weeks
Working software you can click through, fortnightly. No six-month wait ending in a nasty surprise.
4
We go live together
Training on your own data, written how-to guides, and I'm there through your first month-end close.
5
I hand it over and step back
Documentation, passwords and know-how, all yours. The goal is that you stop needing me.

Results

What changed, and how

Numbers on their own are just marketing. Each of these shows what was broken, what I actually did, and what came out of it.

All case studies

Pharma distribution16 weeks

Pharma distributor: 11-day month-end close cut to 2 days

A four-branch pharma distributor ran inventory in one system, billing in another and accounts in spreadsheets. Batch and expiry tracking existed only in a storekeeper's memory. We consolidated onto a single ERP with batch-level traceability and automated the reconciliation that three people were doing by hand.

Month-end close: 11 → 2 days
Reduction in expiry write-offs: 62%

D2C / e-commerce9 weeks

D2C brand: overselling eliminated across five sales channels

Selling on its own website plus four marketplaces, the brand was overselling roughly 4% of orders and eating cancellation penalties and rating damage. We built a single inventory truth with near-real-time propagation to every channel, plus automated settlement reconciliation.

Oversell rate: 4% → 0.1%
Stock sync latency across channels: < 30 sec

Manufacturing11 weeks

Manufacturer: 1,900 hours a year of manual work removed

Production planning ran on a whiteboard, job cards were paper, and quality data was typed into Excel twice. We digitised the shop floor flow and automated the reporting layer above it, without replacing the ERP the company had already invested in.

Manual effort eliminated: 1,900 hrs/yr
Owner MIS availability: 2 days → live

Why owners keep working with me

I'd rather you didn't need me

Consultants who make you dependent on them have an easy business. I think that's a bad deal for you, so every project is set up to leave the know-how inside your team.

No commissions from any software vendor, so my advice stays honest
A fixed-fee first step that any other developer could pick up and run with
Payment by milestone, with checkpoints where you can stop
Proper training for each role, plus written guides your next hire can use
Everything handed over: your code, your servers, your passwords
Straight answers, including when the answer is don't spend the money

“We had been quoted twice as much by two implementation partners, both of whom wanted to start configuring in week one. Devendra spent two weeks understanding how we actually work before recommending anything. That is why it went live on time.”

Managing Director
Pharmaceutical distribution group

“He did not try to sell us a new ERP. He made the one we had already paid for actually work, and then automated the reporting on top of it.”

Director, Operations
Engineering components manufacturer

“The training was the part I underestimated. Six months later my team was running phase two themselves without calling anyone.”

Founder
Multi-city services business

“We found short payments from marketplaces in the first month of reconciliation that more than covered the entire project cost.”
