This resonates. We run a medical device manufacturing operation. We used an ERP for years that claimed to specialize in our industry. In practice it was a bloated system designed by people who'd never worked on a manufacturing floor. Bank reconciliation felt like threading a needle in the dark. Simple tasks required five nested menus. So we built our own. Went live on it a few months ago. The bugs we catch now are ones we catch because we're running real production on it every day. There's no substitute for being the one who has to suffer through your own software.
