Choosing an ERP Partner in Pune: Seven Steps Before You Sign

Choosing an ERP software company in Pune

Six months after go-live, production planning is back on Excel, stores keeps its own register, and month-end takes longer than before. Many Pune businesses know this story. The software is rarely the real cause. The usual causes are a partner chosen without testing fit, data moved across without clean-up, and support terms nobody wrote down.

Five mistakes that sink ERP rollouts

  • Buying on a polished demo that never shows your BOM or job work
  • Leaving production, stores and quality users out until training day
  • Migrating duplicate item codes and wrong opening stock
  • A proposal that lists modules, not processes, so every report becomes a paid change
  • A vendor team that leaves on go-live day

A seven-step way to choose

  • Map how orders, purchases, production, job work and stores really run today
  • Split must-have needs from nice-to-have ones
  • Shortlist three or four vendors with experience in your sector and call their references
  • Run the same scripted demo on your own data for each vendor
  • Ask for a named team, migration steps, testing and training in the plan
  • Get licence, customisation, hosting and support costs separately, over three to five years
  • Agree hypercare, response times and data export terms in the contract

Self-Hosted GitLab? CVE-2026-97229 Is Being Exploited, Check Your Version

Image
If your team runs its own GitLab server, this one needs attention this week. CVE-2026-97229 is a CVSS 10.0 integer overflow in the regular expression compiler used by GitLab CI/CD. A crafted regex in a CI/CD configuration can let an attacker run code on the server. GitLab shipped fixes on 12 October 2026, and CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 29 October 2026. Which versions are affected 19.2 branch: fixed in 19.2.8 19.3 branch: fixed in 19.3.5 19.4 branch: fixed in 19.4.2 GitLab.com and GitLab Dedicated are already patched The root cause sits in Onigmo, the regex engine inside Ruby, so source or custom builds with their own Ruby may need a separate Ruby update. A short action list List every self-managed GitLab instance, including test and forgotten ones Upgrade each one to the fixed version for its branch Turn off open sign-up and limit who can push to public projects until patched Review recent .gitlab-ci.yml changes, unknown users and o...

Hiring a Website Developer? Six Warning Signs to Spot Before You Sign

Image
Many business websites get built twice. The first vendor wins on price, and a few months later the site is slow on mobile, the contact form stops working, and nobody can reach the developer. Most of this can be avoided with the right questions before signing. Warning signs in a website quote A fixed price given before anyone asks about content, integrations or users No live examples, or examples that no longer load Reluctance to register the domain and hosting in your company's name No mention of testing, backups or updates Pressure to sign fast with a "this month only" discount A launch plan with no redirects for old URLs, which can wipe out search traffic What to ask for instead An itemised proposal: pages, templates, features, integrations, revisions, testing, hosting and support A meeting with the project manager and lead developer, not only sales Written ownership of domain, hosting, source code, design files and content A short paid discovery phase that p...

Laravel Projects That Need a Rebuild After 18 Months: Five Causes and How to Avoid Them

Image
A common story: a business picks a Laravel vendor for a low quote, and about eighteen months later the app is slow, small changes break other features, and the next vendor says it must be rebuilt. Laravel is rarely the problem. The way the vendor was chosen usually is. Five causes behind costly rebuilds Business rules stuffed into controllers, so a new GST field touches many files No automated tests, even though Laravel supports PHPUnit and Pest The N+1 query problem: a list of 100 orders running 101 queries Security left to chance: debug mode on in production, or secrets stored in the code repository The vendor, not the client, holding the repository, servers and domain Version support matters too Per the official Laravel documentation, each major release gets bug fixes for 18 months and security fixes for 2 years. Laravel 13 came out in March 2026, and security support for Laravel 12 runs until February 2027. Plan upgrades in your maintenance contract. Before you sign Have an ...
