Improving Functionality and Scalability of Web-Based ERP Systems Using Modular Architecture

Enterprise Resource Planning systems are very important for organizations that want to manage their business operations effectively. These systems assist with project administration, inventory monitoring, financial management, workforce coordination, and reporting. Traditional ERP systems are built using a monolithic architecture where all functionalities exist within a single application. As business requirements grow, maintaining, upgrading, and scaling such systems becomes more challenging. This research proposes a modular architectural approach for web-based ERP systems using the Django framework. Business operations are divided into independent modules such as Accounts, Projects, Inventory, Finance, and Reports. Each module handles specific tasks while sharing a centralized database that ensures consistency and communication across the system. The construction industry serves as the implementation domain because construction organizations must manage projects, contractors, labor resources, materials, and financial transactions efficiently. The proposed ERP framework simplifies these activities while improving resource utilization and reporting capabilities.
