Custom ERP platforms and management systems engineered for large organisations — from cargo terminals and asset registers to logistics fleets and workforces of thousands.
Off-the-shelf software bends until it breaks. We design and engineer platforms around the way your organisation actually works.
End-to-end resource planning built to your processes — not the other way round. One source of truth across finance, procurement, inventory, HR and reporting, designed for organisations that have outgrown spreadsheets and generic suites.
Track consignments from manifest to delivery — yard control, documentation, billing and real-time status for shippers and consignees.
Built for throughputA living register of everything you own — acquisition, maintenance, depreciation and audit trails in one place.
Plan routes, dispatch fleets and watch every movement live — with exceptions surfaced before they become delays.
Rosters, attendance, leave and performance for workforces of thousands — synced straight into payroll.
Web platforms, portals and bespoke operational tools — like afcm.app, the African International Film Festival's Film & Content Market, and mdv.ng, the Maison de Valeur commerce platform. Bring us the problem; we'll engineer the system.
The digital home of the Film & Content Market at the African International Film Festival — where Africa's filmmakers, buyers and distributors meet, screen and do business.
We designed and engineered the full platform: delegate registration and accreditation, project catalogues, screening schedules and the connections that turn a festival into a marketplace.
Maison de Valeur — a full e-commerce platform with a comprehensive admin console behind the storefront: CRM, stock management and logistics management, all in one place.
A single order flows through the whole system — the customer's history updates in the CRM, stock levels adjust in real time, and dispatch is scheduled from the same screen.
Four phases, in order. Each one ends with something you can see, test and sign off.
We embed with your teams, map the real workflow — including the unofficial one — and define what the system must do.
Architecture, data models and interfaces, prototyped and pressure-tested with the people who'll use them daily.
Iterative engineering with working software every sprint — integrated with your existing tools, migrated without drama.
Training, support and continuous improvement. We stay on after launch, because launch is the start.
A small team that has shipped national-scale platforms — and stays on the line long after launch.
Writes systems the way institutions need them: precise, auditable, and still running years later.
Keeps every engagement honest — scoped right, priced right, delivered on the number.
Turns ambitious builds into shipping schedules that hold, client after client.

Cost depends on scope — modules required, number of users and integrations with existing tools. A focused single-module system (e.g. inventory or workforce management) costs far less than a full ERP suite covering finance, procurement, HR and reporting. We scope every engagement after a discovery session and give you a fixed-cost proposal before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
Most engagements ship a working first module within 6–10 weeks, with the full system delivered in phases over 3–6 months depending on complexity. We work in sprints, so you see and use real software early — not just designs.
Yes. We're based in Lagos but build and support systems for organisations across Africa and beyond — including a continental platform for AFRIFF's Film & Content Market (afcm.app) used across more than 50 countries.
Off-the-shelf ERP suites force your business to adapt to their workflows, often requiring expensive consultants just to configure. A custom ERP is built around how your organisation actually operates — your approval chains, your reporting formats, your edge cases — so adoption is faster and there's no licence bloat for modules you'll never use.
Yes — logistics and cargo management is one of our core specialities. We've built invoice, warehouse, cargo-tracking and central operations suites for shipping and freight companies, including a full logistics suite for SGK Global Shipping that delivered ₦5M in annual operational savings.
Always. Launch is the start, not the finish — our process includes a dedicated 'Run' phase covering training, ongoing support and continuous improvement, so your system keeps working as your organisation grows.
Start with a discovery call — tell us what you're running (cargo, assets, fleets, people, or all of it) and we'll map out what a system built around your operation looks like, with a clear scope and quote. Use the contact form on this site or email info@ratemeltd.com.
Tell us what you're running — cargo, assets, fleets, people or all of it — and we'll show you what a system built around you looks like.
