Modernized production

as Fractional CTO at leathercraft workshopfor 7 months in early 2020s

What I did

  • Got involved in small-scale leathercraft production for some time
  • Developed a tailored ERP/CRM system with stock management and automatic pricing (from blueprints and supplier inputs)
  • The software traced the full product lifecycle: by the item serial number, you could tell where every thread or button came from
  • Even integrated a laser engraver (you still need a human to move things though)

What I achieved

  • Developed an insatiable passion for hardware
  • Renovated the workshop
  • Made some weird furniture

What I learned

  • How the leather industry works
  • How to build workshops (I made another one later)
  • How far our intangible IT bullcrap is from real physical production
