Customize Your ERP Without Touching Its Code

Your ERP handles the core, but the missing forms, dashboards, and workflows end up in spreadsheets and workarounds. Build what's missing directly over your ERP database, without touching ERP code, so upgrades stay clean and your data stays in your environment.

Why Customize Your ERP With m-Power?

When the ERP can't do something, you know the options. Buy the vendor's module? Pay for a customization that breaks at the next upgrade? Add full licenses for people who only need one screen? m-Power gives you another answer: Build exactly the feature you need over your ERP database, without changing the ERP itself. Build it internally with m-Power, or have our consultants build it for you.

01

It never touches your ERP

m-Power reads and writes your ERP's database directly. It doesn't modify ERP code or objects, so your upgrades stay on the vendor's path.

  • Connects at the database, not the code
  • No vendor customizations to re-apply
  • Custom apps live outside the ERP
02

Skip the expensive modules

Need a feature the vendor sells as a module? Build the equivalent over your own data, custom to your process.

03

Stop paying for seats people barely use

Replace full ERP licenses for limited-access users with purpose-built apps over the same data. No per-user fees.

04

Tighter security than the ERP gives you

Row- and column-level permissions and role-based access, on top of your existing sign-on (AD, OAuth2, SAML).

05

It can look like part of your ERP

White-label the apps to match your system, or let them stand on their own. Your team controls the details.

06

Build anything, fast

Forms, workflows, dashboards, mobile apps, reports, and portals over ERP data, built in days instead of months.

  • One platform for every gap
  • Point-and-click build process
  • Your existing team, no new hires

How it works

The Extend-and-Surround Approach

Your ERP is good at what it was built for. The gaps get expensive: The generic screen, the report it can't produce, the approval that still runs on email. Instead of changing the ERP, m-Power builds custom web applications directly over its database. You get exactly the features you need, without the module cost, the customization risk, or the vendor dependency.

  • Reads and writes your ERP data live, in your environment
  • Works over SQL Server, Oracle, Db2, MySQL, and more
  • No ERP vendor sign-off or professional services required

What You Can Build Over Your ERP

A few of the ways IT teams fill the gaps in their ERP with m-Power. Build these yourself, or have our consultants build them for you:

Mobile purchase orders

Approve and submit POs from the floor or the road, written straight back to the ERP.

Approval workflows

Route requisitions, credits, and change orders for sign-off, with a full audit trail.

Custom order entry

Order-entry screens built around your process instead of the ERP's generic form.

Dealer and customer portals

Self-service ordering and account access over ERP data, like Raleigh's dealer extranet.

Dashboards over ERP data

Real-time operational and executive dashboards without an extra BI license.

Custom reports

Financial, ad hoc, and operational reports the ERP can't produce cleanly.

Warehouse and barcode apps

Scanning, picking, and inventory counts wired directly to the ERP.

License-replacement apps

Single-purpose screens for limited-access users, no full ERP seat required.

Customer story

Raleigh Bicycles Built a Dealer Extranet Over Its New ERP

With competitors rolling out web-based ordering, Raleigh needed to let dealers place orders online. They used m-Power to build a custom extranet that integrated with their ERP, faster than deploying a generic off-the-shelf system.

  • Automated a manual ordering process
  • Gave dealers 24/7 self-service ordering
  • Built on their own ERP data, in their environment

More Granular Security Than Your ERP Allows

Run every app on the same security model as the rest of your environment, with more granular control than most ERPs allow.

Row-level permissions

Control which users see which rows and columns in an application.

Role-based access

Lock down application and data access per user role.

Use your authentication

Integrate with Active Directory, OAuth2, or SAML.

Audit trails

Full logging of user actions and logins.

Will this change or risk our ERP?

No. m-Power, the low-code development platform from mrc, connects to your ERP's database and reads and writes data there. It never modifies ERP code or objects, so vendor upgrades stay on their normal path and there are no customizations to re-apply afterward.

Any ERP on a supported relational database (SQL Server, Oracle, Db2, MySQL, and more), on-prem or cloud. Customers run m-Power over Retalix, BPCS, Friedman Frontier, and others. If your ERP data lives in a database, m-Power can build over it.

Often, yes. For users who only need a screen or two, you can build purpose-built apps over the same ERP data instead of buying full ERP seats. m-Power has no per-user fees, so those apps go to as many people as you want.

Modules are expensive and one-size-fits-all. m-Power builds the same capability custom to your process, over your own data, outside the ERP. That usually means a faster result at a lower total cost, with no module license to renew.

No. Because m-Power works at the database level, you don't need vendor sign-off or professional services to build over your ERP data. Your team controls the whole thing.

m-Power applies row- and column-level permissions and role-based access on top of your existing authentication (Active Directory, OAuth2, SAML). You can grant tighter, more granular control than the native ERP often allows, and every action is logged.

Both. Your team can build with m-Power's low-code tools after a 5-day training, or our consultants can build it for you or alongside you. 96% of first-time services clients come back for another project.

m-Power is a one-time perpetual license with no per-user or per-app fees, so cost doesn't climb as you add users or apps. See the pricing page for how licensing works.
