PCB Electronics
A custom ERP for an electronic components distributor, replacing spreadsheets and manual routine.
Context
Distributing electronic components means handling a lot of references, a lot of quotes and a lot of follow-ups. At PCB Electronics all of that lived in files and habits. It worked, but it kept people busy all day on work that added nothing. The ask was not automation for its own sake: it was giving time back to a team that had none.
The problem
- Sales processes run by hand, with no dedicated tool.
- No overall view of open orders or pending follow-ups.
- Data entry errors that force people to go back over their work.
- Team hours absorbed by routine work at the expense of everything else.
Solution
- Designed every screen in Figma before writing any code.
- Built a sales management module.
- Built a quotes and orders module, linked together.
- Built a finance module.
- Built dashboards for order tracking and follow-ups.
Our approach
Immersion
Watching the actual work: what happens in which file, in what order, and why. An ERP is designed from existing habits, not against them.
Design
Figma mockups of the modules, signed off by the people who would use them.
Build
Django application, PostgreSQL database, containerised deployment on AWS ECS.
Go live
Migrating existing data, training the team, supporting the first weeks.
Results
A full order now takes a quarter of the time it used to, with 70% fewer errors. Across a day that adds up to an hour given back to each person on the team.
Start with a diagnostic
Before redesigning anything, we look at your current interface: the friction points, what's costing you conversions, and where to start. You get three deliverables and a priority order.
