Enterprise Software & ERP Delivery Methodology

Phase 1: Deterministic Architecture (Waterfall)

Scope boundaries, statutory accounting mandates (such as NBR Mushak 6.3 VAT), database schemas, security roles, and integration contracts are planned upfront with clear deliverables.

Phase 2: Iterative Sprint Execution (Agile)

Modules are built, configured, and demonstrated in two-week iterative sprints. Stakeholders inspect functional prototypes regularly, eliminating surprise delays at the final delivery stage.

We conduct detailed stakeholder interviews across finance, procurement, sales, inventory, and operations. We map standard platform capabilities against your business processes to identify gaps requiring configuration versus custom engineering.

We define relational database schemas, chart of accounts hierarchies, item classification structures, and user role permission matrices. We provision development environments on cloud VPS or client data centers and build clickable workflow wireframes.

Development proceeds in bi-weekly sprints. Engineers implement core modules (General Ledger, Purchasing, Inventory, HR/Payroll) and engineer custom doctypes, automated approval workflows, and third-party API connections (banking gateways, e-commerce, and logistics).

Our dedicated QA and testing team executes automated test scripts, boundary checks, and security vulnerability scans. We rigorously validate statutory accounting logic, ensuring NBR Mushak 6.3 invoices and sub-registers generate compliant tax figures.

Legacy data is extracted, sanitized, and migrated using automated ETL scripts. We conduct role-based hands-on training for department super-users and end-users, followed by formal User Acceptance Testing (UAT) scenarios simulating live daily business transactions.

Production cut-over is executed with a parallel run period to reconcile trial balances. During the initial 30 days post-go-live, an on-site or dedicated technical hypercare team resolves user queries in real-time, transitioning seamlessly into long-term SLA maintenance.

Dedicated Project Management

Every project is assigned an experienced Project Manager serving as your single point of operational accountability, coordinating sprint goals and milestone approvals.

Shared Backlog Transparency

Stakeholders receive real-time access to task backlogs, sprint velocity charts, and issue registers via enterprise project tracking tools (Jira, ClickUp, or Git).

Weekly Executive Status Reports

Structured weekly steering updates summarizing sprint accomplishments, upcoming milestones, risk registers, and decision items requiring leadership sign-off.

Granular permissions by user role and department ensure sensitive payroll, cost of goods, and margin data are restricted to authorized personnel.

All network communication is secured using TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, with database-level AES-256 encryption applied to sensitive data at rest.

Automated daily encrypted database backups stored in geographically redundant off-site locations with documented disaster recovery procedures.

You retain complete ownership of all custom source code, schemas, and configurations under comprehensive non-disclosure and service agreements.

How does Invento prevent ERP project delays and scope creep?

Scope creep is controlled during Stage 1 with a signed Fit-Gap Matrix and explicit scope boundary definition. Any subsequent functional additions requested during development follow formal change request (CR) procedures with transparent timeline and cost assessments, ensuring the core go-live schedule is never derailed.

How is legacy accounting data migrated into the new system?

We use standardized ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) validation templates. We migrate verified opening balances (Trial Balance, Accounts Receivable/Payable sub-ledgers, and Stock valuation) as of an agreed cut-off date, while preserving historical transaction archives in read-only formats for statutory audit compliance.

Can we deploy the system in phases rather than a single cut-over?

Yes. For multi-branch or complex organizations, we frequently recommend phased rollouts: typically starting with core Finance, Purchasing, and Inventory in Phase 1, followed by Manufacturing, Point of Sale, and HR/Payroll in subsequent phases to ensure manageable organizational change management.

What happens after go-live?

Every deployment includes a 30-day dedicated Hypercare period where our engineers assist your team through daily transaction entries and first month-end financial reconciliations. Following Hypercare, your system is supported under a formal SLA agreement with defined incident response times.
