ERP-Grade Custom Solutions

ERP Intelligence Without the Overhead

At MasMade ERP Inc., we understand that not every business is ready for a full ERP implementation—due to budget, scale, or timing. That’s why we build customized, cost-efficient alternatives that deliver ERP-grade clarity and control, using the platforms you already have. When full ERP implementation is not yet affordable, high-impact solution can still transform a business.

One of our early-stage solutions involved creating a powerful Material Resource Planning (MRP) system entirely within Excel—bridging Engineering, Inventory, and Purchasing to deliver ERP-level clarity with zero system overhead.

Project Snapshot: Smart Excel-Based MRP System

One of our most impactful solutions involved the development of an advanced macro-enabled Excel platform that replaced manual, paper-based workflows with intelligent, ERP-like functionality.

The Challenge

Material planning was scattered across disconnected spreadsheets.
Teams relied on memory and manual tracking to check stock and job readiness.
Engineering, Inventory, and Purchasing operated in silos.
No formal ERP system was in place—and no budget for one.

The Solution: ERP Functionality in Excel

We developed a centralized Excel-based MRP system with the following features:

🔄 Automated tagging of each material requirement:
- ✅ In Stock
- 🛒 To Purchase
- 🧰 To Fabricate
🚚 Incoming Delivery (with PO#, ETA, and location)
🧮 Intelligent BOM explosion up to 4 levels deep.
🔄 Real-time tracking of job material status and availability.
📊 Dashboards by department, project, and job allocation.
🔁 Substitution algorithms for compatible sizes and alloys.

All logic, automation, and data views were powered through Excel using VBA, formulas, and conditional formatting.

Dynamic visual summary of open material requirements across multiple job orders. The tool identifies status (upcoming, received), groups by part number, and highlights delivery dates—providing centralized planning for purchasing and production.

Advanced Excel tool for real-time material availability. Items are automatically labeled by production readiness (e.g., To Purchase, To Fabricate, In Stock), with supporting details like location, PO number, ETA, and usage references.

Outcome & Value Delivered

🔍 Real-time visibility into material status for Engineering and Procurement.
🕒 Hundreds of hours saved across departments.
