Homegrown Hydroponics Inc. supplies accessories for home gardening across multiple locations in Canada as well as offers guidance on the usage of their products in person or through online classes. A full custom ERP system was required to consolidate the customer database, manage inventory, purchase orders, as well as quotations. This ERP system was also needed to update and monitor accounting, documentation and shipping.
An entirely automated, custom ERP system was developed to simultaneously handle inventory, quotes, orders as well as various logistical documentation regarding customer data, shipping reports and accounting statements across multiple locations in the country. Furthermore, this system also included a dedicated distributor portal system that was needed to effectively communicate and share data with distributors from a remote setup. Lastly, due to the organization’s focus on teaching customers via an online school, the ERP system was also designed to constantly update the extensive video library where all the information and videos could be remotely accessed from any location. Essentially, the custom ERP system automatically manages all aspects of the company right from logistics and data management to internal communication.

Every company operates differently in terms of inventory management. While inventory management software applications are available commercially, many of the features are either not applicable for some companies or insufficient for others. Custom inventory management software is designed and tailored to meet your exact specifications. These systems include specialized features for companies, such as compatibility with barcode and QR code scanners, relationships between assemblies with complex part combinations, connectivity to multiple warehouses and databases, real-time updates to stock levels, track using dashboards, dedicated client logins, automatic stock level updates, and more. For businesses that have suppliers in multiple countries, a custom inventory system can help with automated conversions of metrics and currencies, which is useful for uniformity while offering convenience.
E-commerce System
- CRM and ERP connection
- Quantity discount and special rate calculations
- Multiple shipping and merchant integrations
Currently, there are various commercially available software applications to facilitate e-commerce functionality such as Shopify. These have a fixed set of features that are meant to work with straightforward e-commerce operations. However, in more complicated scenarios, these lack features to meet the unique needs of individual businesses.
Complex e-commerce solutions were designed and tailored to meet specialized requirements such as customizable price margins, connectivity to product builder tools, quantity-based discount calculations and connection to CRM and ERP systems. Order placement features included support for QR codes or scanner guns. Additionally, special rate calculators and communication with multiple shipping carrier databases were designed. These features were implemented based on client needs in order to improve the specific capabilities of e-commerce systems unique to each client.
