Full-Stack Developer Needed to Build Custom Manufacturing ERP / Production Planning Software

Project Overview

We are building a custom software system for a Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC) manufacturing company. The goal is to create a production planning and operations management platform that connects marketing, planning, production, logistics, and management teams.

The system will manage customer orders, container planning, production scheduling, production tracking, inventory, and dispatch operations.

This is not a simple website. It is a manufacturing ERP-style system.

A working prototype already exists and we want to continue expanding and improving it.


Current Technology Stack

Backend
Python (FastAPI)

Frontend
React.js
Tailwind CSS

Database
MongoDB

Authentication
JWT-based role access

The system is also built as a Progressive Web App (PWA) so it can run on desktop and mobile devices.


Manufacturing Process the Software Must Support

Tape Production
Weaving (Looms)
Lamination
Cutting
Printing
Stitching
Baffle
Inspection
Packing

The ERP must support stage-wise production tracking across these departments.


Main Modules of the System

Authentication & User Roles
Master Data Management
Customer Order Management
Container / Shipment Planning
Production Planning (Backward Scheduling)
Production Execution Tracking
Inventory Management
Quality Control
Dispatch Management
Barcode / Shopfloor Integration
Dashboard & Analytics
Data Management & Backup

Production planning is based on weight capacity (KG) and uses backward scheduling from dispatch dates.


Key System Features

Production planning based on factory capacity
Bag difficulty rating affecting production speed
Container composition planning
Pallet calculation
Shift-based production logging
Operator performance tracking
Mobile / tablet production entry
Excel import and export tools
Management dashboards
Barcode tracking integration



Existing Work

A working system already exists with the following features:

Order management
Container planning
Production planning
Capacity dashboard
Production logging

The system currently uses FastAPI + React + MongoDB.

The architecture now needs to be improved and expanded into a complete manufacturing system.


What We Need From the Developer

Continue development of the system
Improve backend architecture and modular structure
Build additional ERP modules
Improve database design
Testing and debugging
Improve UI where needed
Ensure stability and scalability


Ideal Developer Skills

Strong Python backend experience
FastAPI / Django / Flask
React.js frontend development
Database architecture and API design
Experience building complex applications

Bonus experience:

Manufacturing software
ERP systems
Supply chain or logistics platforms
Production planning systems


Development Approach

We are open to AI-assisted development where useful, but the developer must still understand system architecture, debugging, and testing.

This project requires structured engineering and long-term development.


Project Type

This is a long-term project.

Future development phases include:

Inventory management
Quality control modules
Dispatch and logistics modules
Advanced analytics and reporting


Deliverables

Clean modular backend architecture
Stable production-ready application
Documented APIs
Well-structured database design
Tested and reliable features
