Industries We Serve: ERP & MRP Integrations / solutions for Distributors & Manufacturers

Your ERP Special Ops Team: helping Distributors & Manufacturers Get More from Their Business Systems

MindHarbor has been helping distributors and manufacturers extend, enhance, and modernize their ERP, MRP, and legacy business systems since January of 2000.


With more than 300,000 project hours behind us — thousands of successful customizations, integrations, and data solutions — we’ve built a reputation as the go-to problem solvers when ERP challenges get mission-critical.

 

We’re not resellers or generic consultants. We’re your ERP Special Ops Team — a crew of builders, miners, firefighters, and connectors who thrive where business processes, data, and technology intersect:

​

  • Builders of custom applications that make complex operations simple and scalable.

  • Miners of data who uncover insights that drive smarter decisions and higher profits.

  • Firefighters who dive in fast when systems break or projects stall.

  • Connectors who link ERPs, CRMs, eCommerce, logistics, and vendor platforms into one unified ecosystem.

 

At MindHARBOR, we’re your consultants first and developers second.


You’ll always get our best advice — grounded in decades of hands-on ERP experience — before a single line of code is written.
And when it’s time to execute, we engineer and deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions that help your organization save time/money, drive revenue, and work smarter.

​

Our Mission

To help distributors and manufacturers leverage technology as a competitive advantage — by turning disconnected systems into seamless workflows, transforming data into insight, and building tools that empower people to do their best work.

​

Built on 26 Years of Experience

Our team’s collective experience — across Epicor Prophet 21, Kinetic, and other leading platforms — has produced a deep library of reusable code, ERP connectors, integration frameworks, and data logic.  These assets allow us to solve new problems faster, reduce project costs, and deliver results that scale with your business.

 

We specialize in:

  • Systems Integration & API Development — connecting ERP, CRM, eCommerce, logistics, and vendor systems.

  • Custom Add-Ons, Enhancements & Connectors — extending ERP functionality without disrupting upgrades.

  • SQL Development, Reporting & BI — performance-tuned data pipelines and analytics for distributors and manufacturers.

  • Automation & Workflow Tools — reducing manual touchpoints and improving operational efficiency.

  • Legacy Modernization — bridging older business systems into the cloud era.

​

Every engagement builds on what came before — a growing base of proven code, connectors, and BI assets that help our clients solve new challenges faster, across virtually any ERP, MRP, or legacy system.
