FAQ
Type your question and press Enter: the answer opens right below, in the list.
What is Develop?
An ERP for manufacturers and distributors: sales, inventory, production, invoicing and finance in one system. An order is entered once and every department sees what happened in the others, with no retyping and no side spreadsheets.
What kind of company is it for?
Distribution and wholesale, parts manufacturing, tool & die and machining, oil and fuel, fire protection equipment, farm machinery dealers, cosmetics and retail. There are also versions for dentistry, dental prosthetics labs, medical clinics, optical stores, doors and windows, and construction.
Do I have to buy every module?
No. There are 21 modules on the same records: you turn on the ones you use today and add the others when you need them.
How does implementation work?
In three steps, one after the other: understanding how your company works, configuring the system for that way of working, and staying with you after it goes live. Training is by department, on the screen each person will use.
Do my current records come along?
Yes. Bringing over the data you already have (customers, products, price lists) is part of implementation. First, we list what is duplicated or incomplete, so the data comes in clean.
Who provides support?
Develop’s own team, with no bot on first contact and no outsourcing. You can reach us by email, by phone or with a ticket from inside the system, on business days.
Does the system issue invoices?
The invoice comes out of the order, with taxes calculated and its status and history kept. Tax documents are country-specific: the US edition, with sales tax, is being prepared with our founding customers.
Does it work offline?
The POS does: the register keeps selling with the internet down, and each sale syncs on its own, only once, when the connection comes back.
Does it connect to my bank and my other tools?
Today it connects to Google Calendar and Meet, map routing, e-signature for delivery receipts and your email account. US bank payments (ACH and card) and QuickBooks are being prepared with our founding customers.
How long has Develop been building ERP software?
For 26 years, with more than 100 companies served. The system and the support come from our own team.
How do updates arrive?
On their own, with nothing to reinstall. Each version comes with a note on what changed.
How much does it cost?
The site doesn’t publish prices: the cost depends on which modules your company uses. Our sales team gives you the price after understanding your operation.
Can I see the system before deciding?
Yes. Someone from our sales team shows inventory, cash and margin using a case of yours, not a canned presentation. We reply to your request by email within one business day.
How fast do you reply?
By email, within one business day, from a person on our sales team — not a bot.
