Project Summary

NFQ Technologies built a custom ERP system for an automobile export logistics company to replace an unsuitable off-the-shelf solution. The system automates accounting, order management, and client management, includes QuickBooks exports and API access for international partners, and has expanded to include tracking and e-commerce components. The client reports improved workflow efficiency, secure data sharing with overseas partners, and ongoing iterative improvements.

Key Challenges

Replace an off-the-shelf system that was too generic
Automate accounting and order management processes and enable secure data sharing with overseas partners

Project Deliverables

Custom ERP system (accounting, order management, client management)
Backend implemented with SmartClient (mapped as JavaScript)
Frontend implemented with Symfony Framework
Auto-exports to QuickBooks
API access for international agents

Project Solution

NFQ Technologies custom-designed an ERP system from scratch. The backend was implemented with SmartClient (mapped to JavaScript) and the frontend with the Symfony Framework. The system automates accounting, order management, and client management, provides auto-exports into QuickBooks, and allows international agents to connect via an API key. Based on the long-term partnership, additional tracking and e-commerce modules were added.

Project Outcome

Continued iterative improvements based on employee feedback
Improved workflow efficiency and secure data sharing with international partners
High-quality, fast delivery with minimal bugs
