Independent software consulting

Custom software for manufacturers.

I'm Joseph Carter. I build and maintain the systems manufacturers run on — ERP integrations, production and shop-floor systems, and the tools off-the-shelf software doesn't cover.

What I do

From the plant floor to the back office.

01

ERP Development & Integration

Extend, integrate, and maintain your ERP — homegrown or commercial — from custom features to full platform migrations.

02

Production & Shop Floor Systems

MES, production tracking, flexible job scheduling, and inventory tools that keep product moving through the plant.

03

Reporting & Dashboards

Dynamic, web-based reporting with Crystal Reports, Power BI, GrapeCity ActiveReports, and custom SQL solutions.

04

Tools Off the Shelf Doesn't Cover

EDI integrations, Android shop-floor apps, one-off utilities — custom software for the gaps packaged products leave behind.

Why work with me

Flexible scheduling

Evenings and weekends available. I work around your schedule, not the other way round.

No overhead

Lean, independent operation. You pay for expertise, not layers of management.
