Can you say more about this? Do you mean using stored procedures heavily or something else?

Some stored procedures but mainly just well planned schema and raw SQL.

Interesting. I am also working in similar space. Lot of niche ideas that would be sustainable SaaS products but industry is sales driven and requires industry connections.
I'd be interested to know further on your offering
A manufacturing focused ERP system using SvelteKit and SQL Server. These systems are typically made with Java and it's becoming clear to me that it's massive overkill when SQL Server is (or can be) doing most of the work and the application is (or can be) a thin layer between the user and the database. Using only one language, with perfectly matched types and validation schemas for both frontend and backend is a huge productivity win. Some may sneer at JS but my product running on Node is snappier than the competition and I think I can develop quality features with good UX faster P4P (only a 2 man team).
