Dextra Square is a manufacturer, supplier and distributor of welded mesh, barbed wire, mosquito mesh and expanded metal mesh. We started with one small tool to manage manufacturing batch quality control. Step by step, that grew into a custom, AWS-hosted ERP that took the whole group off spreadsheets and manual records — and we’re still building it with them today.

The challenge
The group ran sales, operations, project sites, incentives and salaries on Google Sheets and manual records — workable at first, but impossible to secure, search or trust as the business grew.
- 01
Sensitive data — salaries, payments, incentives — sat in shared spreadsheets with serious security risks
- 02
Finding a record or pulling a report meant digging through sheet after sheet
- 03
Missed payments and missing numbers, with no reliable single source of truth
Our approach
- 1
Start on the factory floor
A focused tool for manufacturing batch quality control and status management — the first step away from manual tracking.
- 2
Expand module by module
Once the team trusted it, we brought sales, operations, project sites, incentives and salaries into the same system, one area at a time.
- 3
Move the data off sheets
Migrated records from Google Sheets and paper into a structured database, so every number has one home and one owner.
- 4
Secure it in the cloud
Hosted the platform on AWS with access controlled per user, replacing freely shared spreadsheets with a system built for sensitive data.

The impact
Instead of scattered spreadsheets, Dextra Square now runs on one secure system: records are found in seconds, reports no longer need to be stitched together by hand, and payments and figures are tracked in one place. The platform keeps growing with the business — we’ve been working together since 2024 and continue to extend it.
