About erp.io

erp.io is an AI ERP platform and an integration practice, built by Nead, LLC. We are early, narrow, and specific about both — which is more useful to you than a page describing a mission.

Company

Three things we actually do.

In the order customers usually encounter them, which is not the order a product page would list them.

Integrate the systems you run

Most companies do not need a new ERP. They need the eight systems they already pay for to agree with each other and to produce reporting none of them can produce alone. That is a fixed-scope engagement from $6,500.

Put agents to work inside them

Agentic AP, reconciliation, and close under a published authority model, with measured accuracy and an audit trail that records reasoning rather than only outcomes.

Replace the ledger, eventually or never

A shadow ledger reconciles against your books for months before any migration is contemplated. A meaningful share of customers stop before that point, which is a legitimate outcome.

What we deliberately do not build

Being specific about this saves everyone a month. We have no manufacturing capability — no bills of material, no routings, no MRP, no shop-floor control — and none of it is on the roadmap. We have no warehouse management: no bin logic, no wave picking, no barcode workflows.

Our statutory coverage is US-centric. We do not handle local compliance filing across multiple jurisdictions, which is two decades of accumulated work we have not done. We are cloud only and will not offer on-premise deployment.

Our industry guide for manufacturing exists to tell manufacturers to buy Acumatica or NetSuite instead of us. That is not modesty; it is that a hedged version of that page would waste your demo slot and end badly in month four.

A vendor who cannot tell you what they are bad at has either not thought about it or has decided you should find out later.

Where we came from

Nead, LLC operates as DEV.co, a software and integration practice. erp.io grew out of repeatedly seeing the same problem across client engagements: companies between $10M and $100M whose accounting system was fine and whose reporting, consolidation, and manual processing were not — and who were being quoted six-figure ERP replacements to fix a dimensional data problem.

The integration practice came first and still accounts for a large share of what we do. The platform followed because the integration work kept producing the same next question: now that the data agrees, why is a person still keying five hundred invoices a month?

How we are funded

Bootstrapped. We have taken no venture capital and no outside investment. Revenue comes from customers who pay us for software and services, and from nobody else — no vendor referral fees, no affiliate arrangements, no sponsored content.

That has two consequences worth stating. We can publish a directory that ranks us fourth and an industry guide that sends manufacturers to a competitor, because no investor is asking why. And we grow at the rate revenue allows, which means our partner network, talent pool, and operating history are all smaller than the incumbents we compete with.

The honest risk of buying from us

It is not a security failure or a control gap. It is that we are a young company and you would be running finance operations on our software. Fewer references, less operating history, a small team, and no SOC 2 Type II report yet.

The mitigation we can actually offer is not a promise about our prospects. It is that a complete, current copy of your data sits in storage you control, produced automatically on a schedule you set, in open documented formats including the audit trail. If we cease to exist, you hold a dataset a competent team can load elsewhere.

We recommend testing that export during evaluation rather than after signing. Ask for a sample against a demo tenant and load it somewhere. Reluctance from any vendor to let you do that tells you something.

Questions

Common follow-ups.

Who is behind erp.io?
Nead, LLC, an Arkansas limited liability company doing business as DEV.co. We are bootstrapped and have taken no outside investment.
How big are you?
Small. Our customer base, partner network, and operating history are all materially smaller than the incumbents we compete with, and that is stated on our comparison pages rather than hidden.
What happens if you fail?
You hold a scheduled full export in open formats in your own storage, including the audit trail. Source escrow is available, though the data matters more than the code.
Do you have SOC 2?
Not yet. Controls are designed against the Trust Services Criteria but we have not completed an observation period or received a report, and we will not claim otherwise.
Why publish pages that argue against buying you?
Because the alternative is a wasted demo slot for you and a failed implementation for us. Neither of those is a better outcome than an honest page.
