The Challenge
Sunblinds was operating with a patchwork of disconnected tools — spreadsheets for BOQ creation, Calendly for scheduling, manual production tracking boards, QuickBooks for accounting and separate HR records. As the business grew, the lack of integration was causing pricing errors, production delays, missed dispatch deadlines and Alberta payroll compliance risks.
Our Approach
AKC Technosolz built a completely custom, ground-up ERP and HRMS platform specifically designed for Sunblinds' made-to-measure manufacturing operations. The system covers the complete business workflow: lead capture → appointment scheduling → BOQ creation with auto-calculated pricing → inventory management → production job cards → QC checkpoints → dispatch scheduling → accounting with Alberta GST/HST compliance → HRMS with Alberta payroll. A customer portal enables online BOQ approval and payment.
Key Outcomes
6+ disconnected tools replaced by one unified platform
BOQ creation time reduced from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes per quote
Production delay incidents reduced by 40% through real-time job tracking
Alberta payroll & labour law compliance fully automated — zero manual calculation
