02 The Challenge: High Production Costs and a Legacy ERP
MyPhoto faced high production costs and difficulties integrating its obsolete system.
A legacy ERP that was hard to integrate
The old system did not connect well with the company’s ecommerce and manufacturing systems, which made it hard to follow order status and production costs.
High, continuous maintenance costs
Keeping the legacy ERP running was expensive, and growing the business on top of it was complicated and costly.
Order issues that piled up in peak season
After-sales service struggled to handle problems effectively during the busiest periods, when orders could not be located quickly.
03 The Solution: An Open Source ERP for Ecommerce and Manufacturing
With the support of the local Binhex Cloud team, MyPhoto implemented its platform remotely. The result is an open source ERP that connects ecommerce, manufacturing and the rest of the business, giving the company more centralized control and room to expand.

The implementation was structured in five areas:
1. A Core ERP Integrated with Ecommerce and Manufacturing
Sales, Inventory and Accounting were the starting point. Their integration with MyPhoto’s ecommerce and manufacturing systems allowed much better tracking of order status and production costs, and solved the high production costs problem.
2. CRM for B2B and B2C Sales and Affiliate Programs
The CRM helps MyPhoto manage its customer portfolio and integrate its B2B/B2C sales and affiliate programs, running the whole sales process from the ERP. The company sells faster and understands its commercial performance better.
3. Order Tracking, After-Sales and Delivery Control
The team can now track each order precisely, locate it and contact the customer immediately, which was crucial in peak seasons. The Projects module organizes internal tasks and tracks milestones and delivery dates, giving more control over deadlines and pending work.
4. Automated Bank Reconciliation
Reconciling bank statements was automated, which significantly reduced the time spent reviewing and comparing them. Staff can focus on analysis and produce more complete financial reports for decision-making.
5. A Website Landing Page That Generates Leads
A landing page on the website promotes products and company news. It attracted new B2B and B2C leads and became a contact point for companies interested in MyPhoto’s services.

Binhex Cloud’s multi-user model made that integration agile and allowed MyPhoto to grow without worrying about technological complexity.
