Bespoke ERP, CRM, HRM and supply-chain software built around your process, on a fixed-price scope. USA & UK teams, 20+ years, you own the code. Free discovery call.
Software that works the way your business works — not the other way round.
Off-the-shelf ERP and CRM packages make you fit their workflow and charge per user forever. NHZ Global builds enterprise software around the way your company actually operates: orders, stock, jobs, quotes, customers, suppliers, HR and reporting in one system you own outright. We have been doing this for 20 years for trading companies, manufacturers, councils, hotels and service businesses in the UK, USA and the Gulf, and we deliver on fixed-price scopes with a UK support contract afterwards.
A package is the right answer when your processes are standard, you need to go live in weeks and you are happy to adopt the vendor's workflow. Custom wins when your process is your advantage, when per-user licences for 30–50+ staff are becoming painful, when you need deep integration with your own systems, or when you have already spent more customising a package than a build would have cost. We tell clients which side of that line they are on in the first meeting — and if a package fits better, we say so. Our guide to custom ERP vs off-the-shelf ERP sets out the costs and trade-offs in detail.
We choose the stack for the job rather than the fashion: PHP (Laravel/CodeIgniter), .NET, Node.js and Python on the back end; React, Angular and Vue on the front; MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server; hosted on AWS, Azure or UK servers we manage. Mobile companion apps in Flutter, Swift and Kotlin. Everything version-controlled, tested and deployable by any competent team — no lock-in to us.
| Engagement | Typical range | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery and phased plan | $3,500–$8,000 (£2,500–£6,000) | 1–2 weeks |
| Custom CRM for a sales team | $19,500–$52,000 (£15,000–£40,000) | 8–12 weeks |
| Core ERP (orders, stock, operations, finance integration) | $32,500–$155,000+ (£25,000–£120,000+) | 10–16 weeks for phase one |
| Hosting and support | $200–$780 (£150–£600) per month | Ongoing |
Compared with a mid-market cloud ERP at $80–$200 (£60–£150) per user per month, a custom build for 40 users typically costs less over three years and flattens out after year one.
A custom CRM for a Qatar trading company, hosted and supported monthly; a hotel quality-audit and benchmarking platform; one learning platform replacing seven for a multinational; and more case studies across councils, healthcare and retail.
Yes. Accounting integration is one of the most common requirements and all three have mature APIs. Most clients keep their accountant's preferred package and let the custom system feed it invoices, bills and payments automatically.
No. Businesses with 10–50 staff and a distinctive process are often the best fit, because packages are priced for the mid-market and rarely bend to smaller firms' workflows.
You own the source code, documentation and hosting accounts, so any competent PHP, .NET or Node.js team can maintain the system. That ownership is written into our contracts.
That is the route we recommend: build the core operational module first, prove it, then add finance, HR, portals and analytics as the business needs them.
Yes. We have offices in Slough (UK) and San Jose (USA) and long-standing clients in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf, including bilingual English/Arabic systems.
A short fixed-price discovery produces a phased plan with firm costs per phase. You commit one phase at a time; there are no open-ended time-and-materials surprises.
Projects where we've delivered this kind of work.
Trading & distribution Al Shahama Trading replaced spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads with a CRM built around the way their sales team actually works — from first enquiry to quotation to order — hosted and supported by NHZ Global on a monthly plan.
Healthcare / Facilities management A 600-plus-bed teaching hospital had a multi-million-pound energy bill with no visibility by department, and ventilation compliance checks that relied on engineers walking the site with clipboards. We delivered a smart-building platform that meters, monitors and reports automatically.
Corporate learning / HR A group with tens of thousands of employees across a dozen countries was delivering compliance training through seven disconnected systems. We consolidated them into one learning platform with automated, regulator-ready reporting.
A short discovery call, then a written plan with firm costs. Most clients have a proposal within a week.
