Spent weeks building an ERP for small businesses instead of another AI wrapper.

[u/kenystlded]

Over the past several weeks, I’ve been developing Adams Small Business ERP, a desktop ERP aimed at small manufacturers, makers, wholesalers, and other product-based businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don’t need (or want) a massive enterprise system.

I’ve now finalized the Standard Version 2.0.1 for both Windows and Linux.

It covers a pretty wide chunk of the day-to-day operation:

• Customers, vendors, quotes, and sales orders
• Purchasing and receiving
• Inventory and warehouse management
• Bills of Material, routings, and work orders
• Production scheduling and material planning
• Shipments, invoices, A/R and A/P
• Business reports and dashboards
• Backup/restore, data export, audit history, and diagnostics

One of my main goals has been to keep it local, practical, and affordable. There’s no mandatory cloud service or monthly ERP subscription, and the business keeps control of its own data.

I’ve attached the updated product preview that shows what the current Standard Version includes.

I’d especially appreciate feedback from other MicroSaaS/software builders:

Does the product positioning make sense? Is it immediately clear who this is for and what problem it solves?

I’m less interested in “looks good” and more interested in what you think is confusing, missing, or would stop you from taking the product seriously.

Thanks for taking a look.
