AI-first ERP / quotation-first launch

Design the whole ERP. Launch the quote engine first.

This is the visual operating plan for the Dropshipping ERP. It keeps the full system in scope, but narrows the first delivery around bulk quotation, image quotation, order visibility, support, and an approval-safe AI copilot. The budget model is adjusted to your real salary ceiling.

Roadmap

Six-month launch path

Customer journey

From the old 27-step maze to the compressed 6-step experience

Compressed 6-step customer surface

This is what the retailer should feel. Everything else belongs to internal operations, approvals, or background automation.

What still happens behind the scenes

Critical flows

The workflows the product must get right first

Model architecture

The full model map you asked for, grouped by product role

Module board

Model by model, with build mode and AI surface

Copilot architecture

Make chat the control plane, not the only interface

Operating pattern

Chat should control search, drafting, previews, and approvals. Dense grids, barcode work, and money review still need purpose-built UI.
