Here’s what makes The Farber Consulting Group Inc. different – we’ve spent decades specializing in specific industries instead of being a generalist.
In K-12 education finance, we built the fund accounting system 250 New Jersey school districts use. Not general-purpose accounting software. Fund accounting. With different GL structures, compliance rules, state reporting requirements, and payroll interfaces these institutions actually need. A 13+ year ongoing relationship, and now we’re converting the original Visual FoxPro 5 system to modern web infrastructure.
In laboratory operations, we built management software for a mold testing lab that replaced their entire Excel-based workflow. Interactive datasheet for the bench analyst. AI-powered report interpretation. When the analyst counts a spore type, they tap a button and the entry saves. The AI drafts the interpretation. The analyst reviews and approves. Not forced into someone else’s workflow – built around how their bench actually operates.
In manufacturing, we don’t always replace systems – sometimes we enhance them. A manufacturing client was stuck with an ERP that worked fine operationally, but visibility was a nightmare. Team members spent hours physically sorting through paper batch records to answer questions like “Show me all batches using item BOU1000 in 2026” or “List batches containing item ABC10 between April 22 and April 29, with order dates.” We built an AI query layer on top of their existing ERP – no rip-and-replace, no migration, just an interface that turns plain-English questions into instant answers across production and order history. Searches that took hours now return in seconds.
We also handle nonprofits – loan management software we’ve been supporting since 2015 that’s increased payment collection by 40% and saved organizations hundreds of hours of manual work.
And we handle legacy modernization generally – MS Access to cloud, Visual FoxPro conversions, aging SQL optimization, COBOL mainframe migration. Typically 60-120 day timelines. Custom ERP systems with QuickBooks integration. Remote DBA services.
Founded in 1992 by Doron Farber, formerly Director of IT at a New York architecture and engineering firm where he built software for Columbia University and helped win a City of New York contract.
We specialize because when you specialize, you stop building generic software and start building software that actually solves problems.
