How do you manage authentication? For ecample I need to approve login to my ERP system via MS Authenticator and it uses my eyes to approve it. How does AI agent get access in this case?
I would get an open source ERP platform that you can extend yourself - for example Microsoft Dynamics Business Central or Odoo and start building on top of that platform. These platforms already have edi modules and all other basic functions such as sales and purchase module, finance etc. That will save you tens of thousands of development hours and you can start building your custom processes straight away.
I think I am more a consultant. I am already running my own limited company and doing my own marketing, i.e posting in linkedin, blogging and talking in conferences and organizing events in the space. Good point about outsourcing the back office stuff. I need to do that more.
I think its a mix of more status and more interesting projects. It is true about the salary and livelyhood of the employees and that is a frighting thing.
Sorry but the last thing needed in the world is another ERP in my opinion. There's plenty of software available that has been in the market for 30+ years and are robust and works very fine. I think the business is in implementing these softwares and customizing them. Thats what I'm doing.
You seem to think about your reputation and your future.
But by staying in Russia and paying your taxes you contribute to the war effort. You are part of it. In my opinion leave. That makes Russias economy weaker and therefore easier for us to defend against Russias aggressions. Who knows maybe tomorrow you are on the frontlines and being pushed to kill others like so many your countryman do everyday.
I am self employed for the last 12+ months. I am doing Microsoft Dynamics ERP software development and consulting.
First when I started I was doing subcontracting for larger companies but now I have few customers of my own and it works out fine. I can provide them better and quicker service then larger companies can and for some customers the man and a dog company suites very well and for some companies it doesn't.
I handle everything myself when it comes to business - creating content, being active on Linkedin for inbound leads, doing the bookkeeping, doing the monthly tax reports etc.
If you just found out about this tool then maybe wait little bit and use it to see if its really good before recomending this to others? Currently this feels like you are promoting this and its not a sincere recommendation.
Currently working on module for ERP system that handles milk price calculations. The idea is to collect milk from farms and then based on some qualititive measurements, and fat/protein and lactose to calculate the price for the farms. There's so many factors that the price calculations include like the measurements but also contracts, quantities etc. I think its the most complex stuff so far for me.
You could use Microsoft Dynamics D365 Business Central ERP system. It has shopify connector and is a solid prosuct. I am Business Central consultant and developer and work companies as yours every day.
My business is consulting but it is 100% online and is providing the majority of my income. I got started by working in consulting companies, building a blog and connections online and then just went at it. I do Microsoft Dynamics ERP and Power Apps development and consulting. My companies site is https://integrated.ee
Project Management looks to me the most stressful job there is. Specially in the consulting business working eith multiple customers. If I were in this position I would take a paycut and get back to software engineering.
I always told them that i'm not looking full time but only part time but that only did work once I think. Most success came from building a small persona online, participating in the discussions, networking on Discords/Twitter and then the opportunities came.
