    Context

    MiniCity managed bookings, resources, and events through multiple files and apps. Data was scattered, and management reporting was manual and slow.

    Challenge

    They needed a single system covering bookings, staff schedule, resources, finance, events, and reports. The system had to be easy for staff to use and accessible to management.

    Solution

    We built a custom web ERP with interconnected modules:

    • Project and event management
    • Calendar and resource allocation
    • Financial reporting and dashboard
    • AI for summaries and alerts
    • Role-based access

    Outcome

    All operations were centralized into one system. Time spent on manual reports dropped significantly, and management gained real-time visibility into occupancy and revenue.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why a custom ERP instead of an off-the-shelf one?
    Generic solutions did not cover the specifics of an entertainment center: holiday bookings, groups, mobile resources, and custom reports. The custom ERP was tailored exactly to the process.
    What role does AI play in this ERP?
    AI generates activity summaries, anomaly alerts, and assists with quickly completing repetitive reports.
    Can the system grow with the business?
    Yes. The architecture is scalable and modular, so new locations, modules, or integrations can be added without major rewrites.
