How We Build Custom ERP for Ravenswood
Every engagement begins with two to three weeks of structured discovery: workshops and interviews with your operations, production, finance, and leadership teams mapping every workflow, every data requirement, and every integration point. For Ravenswood's artisan production businesses, this includes a detailed review of the production process, raw material sourcing, quality control workflows, and the multi-channel distribution model the business operates.
From discovery, we design the module structure, data model, integration architecture, and phased delivery plan. For a Ravenswood brewery or distillery, the module structure typically includes production batch management, raw material inventory, taproom POS integration, wholesale distribution management, and financial reporting by channel. For a specialty manufacturer, it includes production scheduling, material management, quality control, customer order management, and profitability reporting by production run.
Implementation is phased, delivering your highest-impact modules first. Working, valuable software within fourteen to twenty weeks. Subsequent phases add capabilities without disrupting the operational foundation. For Ravenswood's artisan production businesses, this often means starting with production tracking and inventory, then adding distribution management, then integrating financial reporting.
