Enterprise software · Blockchain & DLT engineering
Milesbreed designs and builds production systems for companies that can’t afford fragile software — from cloud platforms and integrations to blockchain and distributed-ledger infrastructure.
ADR-014
AcceptedKafka between the ERPs and the ledger
ERPs keep running during network maintenance, and idempotent gateway APIs stop duplicate writes.
Trade-off
Records trail the ERP by seconds.01 — Practices
Conventional enterprise systems and ledger-based platforms, designed by the same architects and held to the same delivery standard — so they work together when they need to.
Practice 01
Custom platforms, modernization, integration and product engineering — delivered with the documentation, tests and support that keep them running.
Practice 02
Architecture, smart contracts, tokenization and enterprise integration for distributed ledgers — starting with an honest feasibility assessment.
02 — Where to start
Answer two questions and we’ll show you how we’d begin — and what you’ll have in writing at the end of the first step.
Where we’d start
A fixed-price modernization assessment
We map the system, its dependencies and its risks, then propose a phased migration that never needs a big-bang cutover.

Project stories told the way we deliver them: context, challenge, architecture and outcome.
View all workA permissioned Hyperledger Fabric network gives six competing members a shared, verifiable batch history, fed directly from their ERPs, while commercially sensitive data stays in private data collections.

We replaced spreadsheet-driven matching with an event-driven reconciliation service that ingests scheme, bank and ledger files, matches them with deterministic rules and routes exceptions to an operations queue.
63%
faster daily reconciliation
58%
fewer exceptions needing manual review
Asked to assess a blockchain registry, we found one accountable operator and no case for disintermediation. We recommended PostgreSQL with a hash-chained, append-only audit log, then delivered it.

05 — Honest DLT counsel
If a database solves it better, that’s our recommendation — in writing. Our fixed-price feasibility assessment compares a conventional design with the ledger options, so you get a usable answer either way.

Recommendation
Don’t build this on a ledger.
Use PostgreSQL with a hash-chained, append-only audit log and RFC 3161 timestamps. One accountable operator already exists, and no participant wants to remove it.

You always know what has been decided, what is being built and what happens next.
See how we workWorkshops with your stakeholders to map goals, constraints, systems and risks.
You receive
Discovery brief & estimate rangeOptions compared and decisions written down, with their trade-offs, before any code.
You receive
Architecture dossierTwo-week iterations, each ending in a demo, a written report and test evidence.
You receive
Test plan & release notesRunbooks, training and a warranty period — then SLA-backed support if you want it.

Runbook & SLA07 — Insights
Architecture notes and delivery lessons from the people who build the systems.
All insightsMany of the blockchain proposals we review would be better served by a well-designed database, a signed API or an append-only log. Here are the four questions we ask first, the alternatives we recommend most often, and the cases where a distributed ledger does earn its place.
Before we write code, we write down the decisions: context, constraints, options and trade-offs. What our architecture dossier contains, and how clients use it after handover.
Token standard, network topology, custody model and admin tooling: the early choices that decide whether a tokenization platform clears compliance review and scales beyond its pilot.
