CRM, ERP and SaaS Development in Cherkasy

Boxed systems work well as long as your processes match their logic. In Cherkasy I most often see mixed businesses: wholesale plus processing plus retail plus export. In Bitrix24 or RetailCRM these scenarios become an expensive web of workarounds and paid modules. A custom CRM on Next.js and Node.js gives a clean data model for your real process: a funnel with a production stage, separate price lists for wholesalers and gas-station chains, multi-currency for export. You do not pay per user monthly and do not depend on the vendor's roadmap.

For the stack details see CRM, ERP and SaaS.

For agribusiness and manufacturers — like processing plants or agricultural machinery dealers — I build two-way exchange with 1С/BAS via REST API or a middleware bus. The CRM owns sales, contracts and shipments; 1С/BAS remains the core of accounting and warehouse. Every sync is logged, with manual rollback and a discrepancy dashboard so the accountant trusts the numbers.

I start with critical documents: invoice, delivery note, return, reconciliation act. Then, if needed, production orders, specifications, batch tracking. More on the approach in Web Development.

Yes, I work with IT teams differently than with traditional business. A Cherkasy IT Cluster startup usually needs not a CRM but the SaaS product itself: multi-tenant architecture, billing, roles, customer-facing API. Here I act as a technical partner or CTO-as-a-service: design the architecture on Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL, set up CI/CD on AWS or Google Cloud, help hire the first engineering team.

If you are building a B2B SaaS for the Ukrainian or European market, I will share references and explain how to avoid typical MVP-stage mistakes.

Honest range for Cherkasy: a small CRM for a sales department — 8,000 to 15,000 USD; a full ERP with production, warehouse and 1С — 25,000 to 60,000 USD. The exact number appears after a 1-2 week discovery phase, where I map scenarios, roles, integrations and break the project into milestones.

I work either on a fixed price per stage or time & material — we choose together. The contract covers code and documentation handover, so you are never held hostage by the agency. Details on Contacts.

Security is built into the architecture: distinct roles and rights in PostgreSQL, encryption of sensitive fields, audit logs of all user actions, two-factor authentication for admins. Backups run daily with quarterly restore tests. For critical installations I deploy in a private VPC on AWS or Google Cloud.

For businesses handling personal data (retail, healthcare, education) I align the system with GDPR and Ukrainian data-protection law. A separate security review runs before each release.

Yes, this is one of the most common tasks. Leads from a Next.js website, Tilda forms, calls from Binotel or Ringostat, requests from Prom, Rozetka, OLX, messages from Instagram and Facebook — all merge into one CRM funnel. Every lead carries source, UTM tags and the full touch history.

Marketing sees cost per lead by channel, sales sees the full client picture. If you already have a website, I integrate via REST API; if not, we build the bundle together — see Web Development.

No CRM works if the team rejects it. So I always split rollout into waves: start with one department (usually sales), bring it to a working state, then add warehouse, production, finance. For each department — a dedicated onboarding, video instructions in Ukrainian and checklists.

The first month after launch I am personally on call: weekly meetings with key users, quick UX fixes, extra training. This is the most expensive stage for competing agencies and exactly where they collapse — for me it is included in the fixed price.

Your business, your code. The contract covers handover of repositories, infrastructure, documentation and access. I deliberately use an open stack (Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL) so any other team can continue without a rewrite.

Every project comes with technical documentation: DB schema, API description, deployment guide, decision log. If needed, I help find the next contractor or in-house developer. See About.

Yes, manufacturing ERP is a separate track. For machinery (similar to Bohdan Motors and smaller Sosnivskyi-district plants) I cover BOMs, routings, work-in-progress, batches and serial numbers. For food processing and the sugar industry — raw material tracking, recipes, shelf life, lots.

Integration with shop-floor equipment is possible via OPC UA, MQTT or file exchange — depending on the equipment park. We start with an MVP on 1-2 production lines and scale from there.

Cherkasy region agribusiness has its own logic: future-harvest contracts, fuel and lubricant prepayments, field monitoring, machinery tracking, export contracts in foreign currency. I build a CRM that respects seasonality: a funnel from sowing to elevator, contracts linked to fields and crops, integration with 1С Agro or BAS Agro.

A dedicated module for export deals comes with multi-currency, Incoterms binding and automatic payment reminders. For many farms this is the first move from Excel to transparent accounting.

Yes, for Cherkasy IT Cluster teams and independent SaaS startups I am a frequent technical partner. I build multi-tenant architectures on Next.js + Node.js + PostgreSQL, with data isolation at schema or row-level. I plug in billing (Stripe, Fondy, LiqPay), roles and permissions, audit log, public API.

For early MVPs I can act as a fractional CTO: architecture, hiring the first developers, code reviews, technical interviews with investors. Your product, your brand; I stay in the shadow if you prefer.

Yes, transparency is the basis of my work. Every project runs in Linear or Jira with open access for the client. Once a week — a Zoom or Google Meet demo where you see the real system, not a PowerPoint deck. Between demos a staging server with the latest build is always available.

Priority changes are part of the job. Few things are fully known at start, so I build a discovery buffer into each sprint. I am happy to work with your project manager or run the project myself. Book a call on Contacts.
