Sysgraft builds bespoke, modern interface layers over legacy ERP systems for UK manufacturers and distributors. Same data. Same workflows. A completely different experience — for your staff and your customers.
18 ERP platforms audited — we work with your system
Full compatibility list →Don't see yours? The discovery sprint includes a live API audit — if your ERP has an API, we can almost certainly work with it. Ask us.
UK manufacturing and distribution businesses are stuck in the same trap. The data exists. The workflows work. But the interface makes everything harder than it should be.
Staff build shadow systems in Excel because the ERP UI is too slow or too complex for daily use. Data lives in three places, none of them trusted.
Your sales team fields calls all day for information the ERP already holds. Where is my order? What's my account balance? Can you check stock? None of it should need a phone call.
A full ERP replacement costs £300,000–400,000 and fails 73% of the time. So you keep struggling. There has always been a third option — most businesses just didn't know it existed.
Sysgraft connects directly to your ERP via its REST API. We build a purpose-built web application on top — React, Next.js, TypeScript — that gives each role exactly what they need. No migration. No disruption. No risk.

Every Sysgraft engagement follows the same proven structure. You know the cost, the scope, and the timeline before a single line of code is written.
We authenticate against your ERP, map every relevant endpoint, run stakeholder workshops, and produce a fixed-price build proposal. If your ERP cannot support what we have in mind, we tell you before you commit to a build.
Weekly sprint check-ins. No scope creep. 50% on signature, 50% on go-live. The application is built, tested, and deployed to UK infrastructure within your agreed timeline.
Hosting, security patching, maintenance, and feature evolution on a transparent monthly subscription. Cancellable. No minimum term lock-in. The subscription exists because your business keeps changing — your interface should keep up.
After auditing 18 ERP platforms and the full UK agency landscape, no UK company was found explicitly offering bespoke modern UI on legacy ERP, with subscription maintenance, at SME pricing, without requiring replacement.
Your ERP investment stays intact. We build around it, not over it.
Discovery sprint defines scope before any build commitment. Price agreed upfront.
AI-assisted development and a reusable scaffold mean production-grade delivery in under a month.
IP transfers to you on go-live. Full documentation provided. Walk away any time.
The replacement trap is real. This is what the data says — and what a better option looks like.
Powerful backend, frustrating frontend. Here are the five specific ways Business Central slows your team down.
OrderWise has the data. These seven friction points stop it reaching the right people at the right time.
Compare it to the alternative. A full ERP replacement costs £300,000–400,000 and takes 9–18 months. Sysgraft solves the same underlying problem — a dated, frustrating user experience — for a fraction of that cost, in weeks. The discovery sprint is a fixed fee before you commit to a build, so you know exactly what you are getting.
A fixed-price build proposal is only issued after a completed discovery sprint. The sprint defines scope, confirms API availability, and produces a detailed SOW. The build price is then fixed against that scope. Any additions are treated as separate work, scoped and priced separately — not added to the running total.
No. IP transfers to you on go-live. You own the code. Full documentation is provided. The monthly subscription covers hosting and maintenance — cancellable with standard notice. You could take the codebase and self-host it; we make sure you have everything needed to do so.
"Our ERP doesn't have an API" is almost always wrong. Dynamics 365 Business Central, OrderWise, and Sage 200 all expose documented REST APIs. The discovery sprint includes a live API audit using your credentials — we validate coverage before any build price is issued. If API coverage is insufficient for what you need, we tell you.
All applications are hosted on AWS eu-west-2 or Azure UK South — UK data residency as standard. Authentication is handled via Microsoft Entra ID (SSO), meaning no passwords stored in our system. A data processing agreement is included with every engagement. We design toward NCSC Cyber Essentials from the start.
This is one of the most common conversations we have. No-code and low-code platforms work well for simple internal dashboards and basic approval workflows. They consistently fail at complex business logic — BOM explosions, multi-tier pricing, batch traceability, deep ERP synchronisation with write-back validation. Sysgraft builds in full code. There is no ceiling on what we can implement, and the result looks and performs like a production-grade application rather than a configured tool.
ERP vendors version their REST APIs and provide migration paths and advance notice of breaking changes. We monitor release notes for all supported platforms and handle API updates as part of the monthly subscription. We also build using an adapter pattern — the ERP API integration is isolated in a single layer, so if an endpoint changes, only that adapter needs updating rather than the entire application. We include an ERP upgrade notification clause in the client SLA.
That is exactly what the discovery sprint establishes. We authenticate against your live ERP using your credentials, pull data from every entity relevant to your use case, and test write-back where required. If API coverage is insufficient for the scope you need, we tell you — and we tell you before you commit to a build. We will never issue a fixed-price proposal for something we have not validated technically.
The monthly subscription means you do not need to manage it. Hosting, security patching, and maintenance are all covered. Your IT team's involvement after go-live is minimal — occasional access provisioning and being the internal point of contact for feature requests. We handle everything else. If your IT team ever wants to take over hosting directly, full documentation and source code are provided.
You own the code outright from go-live. IP transfers to you on completion. The application is built on React, Next.js, and TypeScript — mainstream technologies with millions of developers worldwide. Full documentation is provided. If the worst happened, any competent developer could pick up the codebase and continue. We also offer a code escrow arrangement on request for clients who want additional reassurance.
Yes, now. Sysgraft does not touch your ERP contract, licensing, or configuration. We connect to it via its public API — the same way any authorised integration would. Your ERP vendor's contract is unaffected. If anything, a better interface layer reduces the pressure to replace the ERP at contract renewal, giving you more negotiating leverage.
