Solution
Custom ERP development when a standard workflow does not fit
Most signage and project workflows are configured, not coded. When a business genuinely needs a document, report or process that the core ERP does not have, ClassicNext builds it on the same platform, scoped and priced separately.

Built on the platform's app framework so upgrades remain possible.

Documentation, training and support under the AMC.
Boundaries
How custom work is kept honest
Custom development is never included in a package price by default. It is a separate line, with a specification, before work starts.
- Fixed-scope quotation per specification
- Standard configuration exhausted first
- Built as an add-on, not a fork of the core
FAQ
Custom ERP: common questions
Will custom work break future upgrades?
Custom work is built as an add-on on the platform's app framework, which keeps the core upgradable. Custom code is re-tested at each upgrade under the AMC.
Can you build a full estimation calculator for signage?
Yes, as custom development after the estimation process is mapped. Simple estimation templates are usually handled by configuration first.
