Service 05 · Serverless ERP
A serverless ERP in Google Workspace
A small operation does not need an ERP licence. It needs the numbers in one place, with permissions, and a report that comes out right.
Fig. 05 — Serverless ERP
What this usually looks like
- Costs tracked in one spreadsheet and stock in another.
- No permission model, so everyone can edit everything.
- A month-end pack assembled by hand from four exports.
- A system nobody wants to touch because only one person understands it.
What you get
- A working system: costs, inventory, and the reports that follow.
- A real permission model, so people see what they should see.
- Automated month-end output, so the pack builds itself.
- Documentation written for the person who inherits it.
Built a working serverless ERP on Google Apps Script for The Ghee Mama Productions, covering costs, stock and reporting with no server to maintain.
Questions
Why Google Workspace rather than a real ERP?+
For a small operation the licence costs more than the problem. If you outgrow it, the data model ports.
What are the running costs?+
The Workspace subscription you already pay. No additional hosting.
Who owns it?+
You do. The code and the documentation are handed over.
