What SG manufacturers are actually running — once a month.
No fluff. No vendor pitches. Unsubscribe at any time. Written by the team that builds custom ERP for Singapore manufacturers.
A monthly operating note for manufacturers
The newsletter stays focused on workflow decisions, ERP tradeoffs, and Singapore manufacturing modernization.
Four things. No padding.
Not a vendor whitepaper. What we see in discovery weeks, what the real master Excel looks like, what breaks at 100 orders per month.
SAP B1, Odoo, Synergix, custom build. When each makes sense, when it is oversold, what the real implementation cost looks like after the vendor quote.
IRAS InvoiceNow mandate timing, PSG / EDG grant windows, MAS and ESG policy that affects SG SMB capex decisions.
Pricing engines that let the same headcount handle 3× the order volume. Supplier portals that cut coordination errors by 90%. The workflow levers most owners overlook.
The newsletter draws from the same thinking as these articles.
The Start Canyon team.
We spend our days in paid discovery weeks inside SG manufacturers — walking the factory, mapping the master Excel, watching what actually breaks at 200 orders per month. The newsletter is a distillation of what we see that we think is worth sharing.
We are not a media company. We build custom ERP. The newsletter exists because the honest analysis we do privately for clients — comparing Odoo to SAP B1 to custom, or evaluating IRAS InvoiceNow readiness — is the kind of thing more people should have access to.
