What to choose ? FilamentPHP or Custom Build for Inventory Management Software – Seeking Advice!

Hi all,

I had a client call about creating an inventory management software. I've planned out around 30 modules, covering tasks like generating reports and creating invoices. Now, I'm considering whether to go with FilamentPHP or build everything from scratch. FilamentPHP offers ready-made tools, but going custom provides more flexibility. What are your insights on this decision?

The inventory management will be what's in the database and the relations and the sql, whether you use filament or not.

@anudhs Filament is great for building admin panels, but it’s not going to build your business and domain logic for you. You‘re still going to need to define the models, relationships, business rules, etc.
