The brief
Saral ERP was a backend-focused project built around business workflow management and internal operations.
The project required database-driven modules, admin workflows, and structured backend logic.
The focus was on functionality, maintainability, and practical ERP-style module handling.
Discovery & planning
Planning focused on business workflows, database relationships, module needs, and admin usability.
Workflow analysis
I reviewed how different business operations needed to be represented in the ERP system.
Database planning
The project required careful thinking around records, fields, relationships, and backend operations.
Module structure
Admin modules needed to be organized for easier management and future updates.
Implementation approach
The implementation used CodeIgniter, PHP, and MySQL to build backend modules and database-driven workflows.
CodeIgniter modules
I worked on backend modules using CodeIgniter structure.
Database operations
MySQL was used for storing, retrieving, and managing business records.
Admin workflows
Backend screens supported management tasks and internal operations.
Result
The final backend system supported ERP-style business workflows through structured modules.
- CodeIgniter backend modules
- MySQL database workflows
- Admin-side functionality
- ERP-style business operations
Design strategy
For backend systems, the design strategy focused on usability, form clarity, and predictable admin workflows.
Functional clarity
Admin users needed clear screens for managing records and workflows.
Consistent modules
Different modules needed a consistent structure for easier use.
Maintainability
Backend logic needed to be organized for future updates.

Reflection
This project strengthened my backend development experience with ERP-style systems.
Backend projects require careful planning because small database decisions affect long-term maintainability.
Future improvements could include role permissions, reporting dashboards, and stronger audit tracking.
