What do ERP developers do?

ERP developers are crucial for the development, adaptation and optimisation of ERP systems that make business processes in companies more efficient. They programme and configure these systems to meet the specific requirements of a company. They work closely with other departments to ensure that the ERP solutions meet the needs of the entire organisation.

The typical tasks of an ERP Developer include

  • Development and customisation of ERP software (e.g. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle)
  • Integration of ERP systems into existing IT infrastructures
  • Troubleshooting and optimisation of ERP software
  • User training and technical documentation

The most important characteristics of successful ERP developers

Successful ERP developers are characterised by certain skills and characteristics. Here are the most important characteristics:

  • Technical know-how: Extensive knowledge of programming languages and databases.
  • Process understanding: In-depth knowledge of operational procedures and business processes.
  • Analytical skills: Ability to quickly analyse and solve complex problems.
  • Communication skills: Close co-operation with various departments and stakeholders.
  • Adaptability: Flexibility to adapt quickly to new technologies and requirements.

What are the most common challenges for ERP developers?

ERP developers often face specific challenges that make their work both demanding and valuable. As ERP systems are often deeply integrated into the company structure, customisations and updates can have complex consequences.

Some of the most common challenges include

  • Complex system integration: Adapting an ERP system to existing IT landscapes can be a major challenge, especially when interfaces to different systems need to be created.
  • Security requirements: As ERP systems manage sensitive business data, ensuring data security and integrity is of paramount importance.
  • Scalability: Adapting ERP solutions to a company's growth and changing needs requires constant development and optimisation.
  • Change requirements: ERP developers often have to respond to constantly changing business requirements, which makes flexible and quick adjustments necessary.

In addition to these technical challenges, ERP developers are also responsible for explaining the new functions to users and training them in how to use the systems.

Why are ERP developers in such high demand?

The demand for ERP developers is enormous as companies increasingly rely on comprehensive ERP solutions to organise their business processes more efficiently. ERP systems are the backbone of a company's organisation and cover all important business areas such as finance, production, logistics and human resources.

Reasons for the high demand for ERP developers:

  • Digitisation: More and more companies are digitising their business processes and require specialised ERP professionals to do so.
  • Complexity of systems: ERP systems are highly complex and require expert knowledge to develop, customise and maintain them.
  • Optimisation potential: ERP developers help companies to optimise their work processes and thus save time and costs.
  • Specialisation: ERP systems such as SAP or Microsoft Dynamics require specialised knowledge that not every developer has.

What our partners say about our cooperation

Marco Bofinger

The cornerstone of the cooperation with CareerTeam was an efficient exchange and open, honest feedback. We were very satisfied with their fast and effective search.

Wiebke Ernst-Ringena
Deputy personnel manager

With the help of alphacoders recruiting experts, we were able to successfully fill several challenging roles in our digitalization, IT and purchasing departments. The collaboration was always characterized by very good advice, open communication and maximum transparency. We are looking forward to the next joint projects with alphacoders!

Susanne Hasenstab
Head of HR - WEITBLICK® GmbH & Co. KG

Last year we worked with alphacoders for the first time. The cooperation was characterised by professional and very personal support, as well as profound contacts within our target group. What was special for us was that we were actually only looking for one PHP developer, but because of the but due to the suitable selection of candidates we directly hired 2 developers and that within only 3 months. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.

Christina Bombeck
HR Managerin - Fundis Reitsport

We have commissioned alphacoders to search for 2 web developers. The challenge is that we are active in a special niche in e-commerce with the topic of equestrian sports and ideally the ideal candidate should also identify with our sport. In addition to good communication and consultation, we jointly implemented an effective hiring process. alphacoders not only managed to attract many women for this position, but we even managed to hire someone with a love for our sport. We were able to fill both positions with alphacoders and would hire them again anytime.

Oliver Kühne
CTO — Monsterzeug

Professional and goal-oriented, I would work with alphacoders again at any time. I've recommended them both internally to other departments and to external stakeholders.

Tobias Schumacher
CTO & Co-Founder — Closelink

Working with alphacoders was our first experience with a recruiter. We particularly liked the transparent communication and the summary of the search in the form of reports and figures. This helped us to better understand the candidate market and gain deeper insights into recruitment from IT specialists. We can recommend alphacoders 100%.

Julius Martini
CEO — TimberTom

We have already commissioned alphacoders twice to support us in tech recruiting and they convinced us with the first candidate for both positions (frontend & fullstack developer). The cooperation was very uncomplicated, at eye level and characterized by direct communication. We are very happy to have alphacoders on our side.

Dr. Janine Nastelski
People & Culture Manager — Webmatch

Very professional, always transparent and honest cooperation. Extremely good understanding of the market including recommendations for action. Completely different approach than classic recruiting agencies.

Constanze El Rikabi
Director Human Resources — Ascendis Pharma GmbH

With the help of alphacoders we have succeeded twice in adding the right IT resources to our team. The structured preparation of the candidate search and the alphacoders approach made this possible. In the future, IT recruiting will only run through alphacoders.

Cornelius Lauritzen
CEO — Glambou

With alphacoders we have found a strong partner for our tech recruiting. The feedback loops were short and efficient. Our company, our tech vision and our requirement profile were quickly understood and implemented. The management of the interview process went fabulous for us as well as for the candidates.

Maik Gronau
CEO - GWA Hygiene

alphacoders has become an integral part of our tech recruiting. We have been working together for over 2 years now and have already been able to successfully fill several different positions in IT. As a startup, we very much appreciate the all-encompassing advice from profile sharpening to candidate selection and support in optimising our own internal hiring process. We are very happy to have alphacoders at our side.

Franziska Mehlhorn
Head of People & Organisational Development — Picdrop

We have been working successfully with alphacoders for some time. What I personally like very much is the uncomplicated and personal exchange, as well as the quick occupation time, which has only lasted an average of 3 months so far. alphacoders understands their trade and we are very happy to have them on our team.

Gabi Wegner
People & Relations Manager — MOIA

We really appreciate working with alphacoders because they really have a clue about tech and take time to understand who we need for MOIA and for our individual teams.

Tihomir Sablic
Head of IT - heyworld GmbH

We have been working with alphacoders for more than 2 years now and have had very good experiences so far.

Through their input, we have already been able to successfully hire 2 backend developers and also rely on their expertise for further tech positions.

Jan Thonemann
Abteilungsleiter Forschung / Entwicklung — PROSOZ

Finding the right people is one of, if not the most key component to an organization's success. At alphacoders it's not about quantity, but about quality. Every candidate that is introduced is always worth talking to and we have already found a lot of great colleagues through alphacoders. The short weekly exchange ensure that your ideas are understood and that you are always up to date.

Ingo Fraedrich
General Manager — Veterinärmedizinisches Dienstleistungszentrum GmbH

When looking for qualified employees, we like to rely on specialists. They know the market and the target group and can advise accordingly. So it happens that we have been working with alphacoders since February 2020 and have been able to expand our development team several times. We have found the right service provider for us

Bianca Potapski
HR Managerin — Soil & More Impacts GmbH

We really enjoyed working with alphacoders, it was a professional collaboration on an equal footing right from the start. alphacoders puts itself very well in the client's position and thanks to the regular agreements it always ran smoothly. We have successfully recruited a senior Phyton developer with alphacoders and would recommend alphacoders to others.

Ralf Fohrmann
Head of Human Resources - prophete

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a NAV developer. The special thing about this was the complexity of the market situation: it is a very special position with a very narrow pool of candidates and a very loyal target group. We solved it through trusting and effective communication and adjustments to the profile. One key was certainly that we opened up for a fully remote position and were thus able to find and successfully recruit the right candidate.

Stephanie Werk
Senior Tech Recruiterin - WERTGARANTIE Group

Together with alphacoders, we were looking for and hired a PL/SQL developer. Thanks to the professional support of alphacoders, we were able to fill the position in a very short time. The fact that we worked very closely with the tech recruiters and that we had the same understanding of the market and the special requirements played a major role in our success. We would recommend alphacoders at any time.
