Modernise without replacing your ERP.
Your established ERP holds years of data and business logic that works. We extend, connect and automate around it, so you get modern apps, documents, reporting and integrations without the risk of starting again.
Replacement isn't the only way forward.
When an established ERP starts to feel dated, the instinct can be to replace it. But a replacement is a major undertaking, and the processes your business relies on are often what makes it work well.
The gaps are usually around the edges: documents that look old-fashioned, reports that are hard to get at, people re-keying data between systems, and teams who can't use the ERP where they work. Those gaps can be closed around the system you already trust, one step at a time.
And if replacement is right for you, we can help with that too, including NetSuite. We'll give you an honest view.
Modernise around your existing systems, rather than forcing replacement.
Eight ways to modernise around your ERP.

In our clients' words.
We worked very closely with Web Control on a Salesforce to Infoflo ERP project. The scope for the project was to be able to convert quotes in our Salesforce CPQ system into live orders within our Infoflo ERP, with the least amount of touch points from our Customer Service Team.
James and Jamie at Web Control were pivotal in not only the development, but also in the scope and design side of the project.
What really impressed us here at Nortek was the after service we received, on the most part dealing with bug fixes within a few hours. The program Jamie built for us has now been coined as the ‘Program of Dreams’.
Having been users of Web-forms and working with Web Control for many years we were fully aware of the issues that Web-forms gives us and the limitations of the software. So when Web Control approached us regarding a change to their new solution that eradicate all those issues I was sceptic.
However we were impressed with the proposed functionality and were especially impressed with the error handling capability. The fact that any documents not processing would automatically be removed and an email alert sent was very helpful.
Now that implementation has been completed again in a very professional manner I can confirm that OneDocs does what it says on the tin. Very impressed and pleased we made the decision to migrate to it.
Web Control developed an automated Warehouse Application using retro fitted iPads cradled to forklift trucks to facilitate the random put-away of pallet-based stock. This included an auto pallet labelling feature with an improved purchase receipt process.
We also had developed a tablet-based application for sales order creation whilst sales representatives are out on the road. This application enables the download of customer orders via mobile data direct to their back-office ERP system. This has provided us with our own in-house document management software, enabling key business forms to be developed then printed or emailed as required.
This software is used to support our business forms. More recently we've worked closely with Web Control on our transactional website project, providing back-end integration allowing web based B2C orders to seamlessly process through our back-office systems.
