FiftyFive developed a custom web-based ERP for the client, centralizing project tracking, document management, database operations, and real-time communication. Our four-member engineering team built the frontend, backend, Azure infrastructure, PostgreSQL database, Blob Storage, and WebSocket integration to support controlled workflows and centralized delivery.
Build Your Platform With UsThe client is a property development firm running proprietary internal workflows across project delivery. The firm's scale and market position are not disclosed. FiftyFive was engaged to digitise those workflows into a custom ERP, giving the client controlled operations and centralised project delivery in a single system. The engagement covers both application development and Azure cloud infrastructure.
FiftyFive had to translate an undocumented, proprietary operating methodology into enforced software logic while standing up enterprise Azure infrastructure with no existing cloud footprint to build on. Every core operational function — authentication, documents, project tracking, and team communication — had to converge into one interface.
FiftyFive delivered a web-based single-page ERP application backed by native Microsoft Azure infrastructure, built and deployed from the ground up. The platform enforces the client's defined progression states, so projects move through the methodology the firm already operates by. Authentication, document management, project tracking, and real-time chat sit inside one interface, creating a single source of truth for internal teams. Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Blob Storage, and WebSocket provide the platform foundation.

FiftyFive delivered a custom ERP platform backed by Azure-native infrastructure and a dedicated four-member engineering team. The platform gives the client a single source of truth for internal project delivery.
FiftyFive centralised authentication, document management, project tracking, and real-time chat into one web ERP interface.
FiftyFive converted the client's proprietary operating methodology into enforced state-driven workflow logic inside the ERP platform.
FiftyFive built Azure PostgreSQL, Azure Blob Storage, and WebSocket layers into a secure, scalable, real-time enterprise infrastructure.
FiftyFive replaced fragmented internal processes with one controlled system serving the client's internal project delivery teams.
A custom ERP for property development companies is enterprise software built around a firm's own operating methodology rather than a vendor's template. It typically centralises project tracking, document management, authentication, and team communication into one interface, replacing fragmented tools and creating a single source of truth for internal delivery teams.
Property developers replace off-the-shelf software when their operating methodology cannot be expressed in a generic tool. Custom ERP platforms hard-code proprietary workflow states, enforce how projects progress, and consolidate documents, tracking, and communication into one system rather than spreading them across disconnected applications.
A state-driven ERP workflow defines the exact stages a project can occupy and controls how it moves between them. Rather than allowing free-form updates, the system enforces defined progression states. This encodes a company's operating methodology into software, making delivery consistent and auditable across every project.
Microsoft Azure suits enterprise ERP systems because it provides managed database, storage, identity, and networking services under one cloud environment. Azure PostgreSQL handles relational ERP data and Azure Blob Storage handles document management, so application and infrastructure stay within a single, governed enterprise cloud footprint.
Document version control in a cloud ERP is typically handled through managed object storage such as Azure Blob Storage, integrated directly into the application. Documents live inside the same cloud environment as the ERP, keeping version history, access control, and project context together rather than in separate file-sharing tools.
WebSocket enables persistent, low-latency connections between client and server, making it well suited to real-time chat inside an ERP. Building chat natively into the project management hub keeps team discussion attached to project context, instead of pushing conversations into external messaging tools.
Azure PostgreSQL is a managed relational database service used as the system of record for structured enterprise data. In ERP applications it stores projects, users, documents metadata, and workflow states, while Azure handles provisioning, patching, and availability so engineering teams focus on application logic.
Building a custom ERP platform typically involves custom software development, cloud engineering, database management, cloud storage integration, frontend and backend engineering, and real-time communication development. FiftyFive delivered all six across this engagement, covering both the ERP application and the underlying Azure infrastructure.
Custom ERP builds often start with a small, senior team rather than a large one. FiftyFive delivered this Azure ERP platform with four engineers — one Technical Lead, two Frontend Engineers, and one Backend Engineer — covering application development and complete cloud infrastructure deployment.
Businesses can hire dedicated Azure developers to build ERP platforms and cloud infrastructure end to end. FiftyFive works through flexible engagement models with time-zone-aligned delivery, monthly billing on actual man-hours, and a two-week free proof of concept before committing to a full engagement.
A custom ERP platform built on managed cloud services can meet enterprise security and scalability requirements. FiftyFive provisioned and secured Azure PostgreSQL for relational data, integrated Azure Blob Storage for documents, and architected the Azure environment to the client's enterprise deployment requirements.
Timelines depend on scope, workflow complexity, and whether cloud infrastructure exists already. This engagement began in early 2026 and remains ongoing, with the ERP application and complete Azure infrastructure built from scratch in parallel. FiftyFive offers a two-week free proof of concept to validate scope before full delivery.
