Custom software and ERP development in Morocco

Excel is a great tool to get started. It becomes a risk when the company grows and several people enter the same information in several places.

• The same data gets typed two or three times: a customer in the quote, the invoice and the follow-up
• Every month-end, someone spends days reconciling files. At 2STM, the operations manager spent 3 days a month reconciling 6 disconnected tools
• Invoices are pieced together by hand, and cash flow waits
• Nobody knows in real time where the stock, the machines or the crews are
• There’s no way to tell who changed what, and when

We don’t sell a software package to configure: we build the modules you need, and only those. Information entered once flows everywhere. At 2STM, when a contract is won, fleet assignment and materials purchasing kick in automatically.

Custom isn’t always the right answer. If your processes are standard, an off-the-shelf ERP will often be faster to roll out. Custom software makes sense when the way you work is your edge, or when no tool covers it without workarounds.

Often the best answer is hybrid: keep your accounting software and build what’s missing around it, connected by API.

1. 1

   Map the real processes

   Workshops with the people who do the work, not just management. At 2STM, this first phase with the operations team surfaced 14 manual processes that could be automated.

2. 2

   One data model

   Customers, projects, stock, people: each record exists once, and every module plugs into it.

3. 3

   Roles and access

   Field, admin, finance, management: everyone sees and edits what concerns them.

4. 4

   Phase 1: highest return

   We ship what hurts most first. At 2STM: bids and invoicing, then fleet, materials and the supplier portal.

5. 5

   Data migration

   Your existing files imported and cleaned, checked with your teams before the switch.

6. 6

   Training and handover

   Documentation, access and user training, then a monthly report if we handle maintenance.

Business software holds your numbers, your payroll and your contracts. Security is part of the data model from day one, not bolted on at the end.

• Fine-grained permissions by role and by module
• Audit log: every entry is timestamped and attributed to a user
• Two-factor authentication for administrators
• Bids, invoices and contracts stored with hash verification and version history
• Automated backups
• Hosting on a server in Morocco when data residency requirements call for it
• An NDA signed before we get into the details of your processes

Your software has to talk to what already exists: accounting software, an ERP already in place, business tools or partner APIs. We connect systems instead of making you re-enter everything.

For management, dashboards show volume, margins, cash flow or equipment status live. And when a repetitive task lends itself to it, an AI component can be added: HireSense, our interview assistant in pilot, integrates with an applicant tracking system (ATS) and produces reports reviewed by a human.

For a public works group running 20 job sites across 7 cities, we built the system that brings together tenders, job sites, fleet, materials, payroll and accounting. The platform is in production, with 24 months of ongoing support to date.
