ERP system for tracking factory maintenance operations: work orders, equipment history, spare parts inventory, technician scheduling, and preventive maintenance planning.
Client: Confidential | Manufacturing | Turkey
A mid-sized manufacturer of specialized industrial components came to us when their existing ERP — an aging, expensive seat-licensed product — started costing them more in workarounds than in license fees. Their production team had built an entire shadow stack of spreadsheets just to make the ERP usable.
They didn't want a bigger ERP. They wanted a smaller, opinionated system that did exactly what they did, and nothing they didn't.
The brief was to model their actual production reality — bills of materials, work orders, inventory movements, and quality checkpoints — in a tool their floor managers and accountants could both live in.
Maintenance work was tracked on paper — work orders were lost, illegible, or never closed out
Equipment history was inaccessible — technicians could not see prior repairs or recurring failure patterns
Spare-parts levels were unknown until shortage — emergency procurement caused production downtime
No preventive maintenance schedule — machines failed unexpectedly during production runs
Laravel + Filament was, again, the right shape. ERP is fundamentally a CRUD-heavy domain with strict relational integrity, and Filament lets us ship that quickly without giving up the database discipline that ERP demands.
We built a custom inventory engine on top of Laravel's Eloquent layer that treats every stock movement — receipt, issue, transfer, adjustment — as an immutable event, and derives current stock as a projection. That made the audit story straightforward and the reporting fast.
MySQL was deliberate. The relational shape of the data and the team's familiarity with MySQL tooling made it the lowest-friction choice. We resisted the temptation to introduce anything fashionable.
