Industries We Serve: ERP, MRP & Digital Intelligence 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 — spanning thousands of successful customizations, integrations, reporting solutions, and data initiatives — we’ve earned a reputation as the team clients call when ERP challenges become mission-critical.
Today, that work increasingly includes applying Digital Intelligence — built on modern AI techniques — to ERP data, reporting, and workflows. The result is earlier visibility, clearer insights, and better decision-making, without disrupting day-to-day operations or replacing the people who know the business best.
Your ERP Special Ops Team
We’re not resellers or generic consultants.
We’re your ERP Special Ops Team — a highly seasoned crew of builders, miners, firefighters, and connectors who thrive where business processes, data, and technology intersect:
​
-
Builders of custom applications that make complex operations simpler, faster, and more scalable.
-
Miners of data who uncover insights — and apply Digital Intelligence — to drive smarter decisions, earlier visibility, and higher profitability.
-
Firefighters who step in quickly when systems break, projects stall, or deadlines are at risk.
-
Connectors who link ERPs, CRMs, eCommerce, logistics, and vendor platforms into a single, reliable ecosystem.
Consultants First. Developers Second.
At MindHARBOR, we’re 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.
When it’s time to execute, we engineer and deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions that help organizations save time and money, drive revenue, reduce friction, and work smarter.
