ERPNext, configured for how your business works.

01
What is an ERP?

Enterprise Resource Planning software connects your entire business — finance, inventory, sales, HR — into one system. No disconnected tools. No manual data transfers between departments.

02
Why ERPNext?

Open-source. No per-seat licensing fees. Built specifically for growing SMEs. Actively maintained by Frappe with a global community and consistent upgrades.

03
Built on Frappe

The Frappe framework makes ERPNext fully configurable without writing code. Every form, workflow, and report adapts to how your business actually runs.

04
The result

A live system your team uses daily. Maintained by your operations manager — no developer required. Compliant from day one in the markets you operate in.

Five regulatory regimes. One methodology.

Configuration built to meet the specific e-invoicing and fiscal reporting requirements of each market. No workarounds. No pending compliance.

The methodology

No custom code. This is not a compromise.

Read the full methodology

Custom code breaks on ERPNext upgrades and creates a developer dependency that does not end at go-live. Every modification, every small adjustment becomes a permanent budget line item.

There is an exit cost that does not appear on the initial quote. When you upgrade, migrate, or switch partners, every custom extension must be assessed, rewritten, or abandoned.

What we use instead
Customize Form UI — field-level control without touching Python
Frappe Form Builder — native layout and conditional logic
Workflow rules — approval chains and state transitions without code
All of the above is maintainable by a non-developer after go-live

Founders and ops managers who have outrun their current tools.

50 to 300-employee businesses in manufacturing, trading, food and beverage, professional services, retail, and medical distribution. Across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Rwanda, and the United Kingdom.

Outgrown spreadsheets

Manual reconciliations, disconnected data, reports that take days. Finance and operations working from different numbers.

A previous ERP failed

The team never adopted the last system. The consultant exited at go-live. Starting again, properly, with adoption built in from day one.

Preparing for the next stage

A new market, a new product line, or investor scrutiny on the financials. Infrastructure that holds at the next level of scale.

Targeting international buyers

International buyers, export partners, and operators in countries with special economic zones require documentation and audit trails the current systems cannot produce.

Named deliverables. Not line items in a scope document.

Each of the following is a specific piece of work with a defined output. Named here so you understand what the engagement actually includes.

01
Pre-implementation process audit

Before the software is touched, we map how the business actually works. Purchase flow, sales cycle, inventory movement, payroll structure. The configuration is only as good as the process understanding behind it. This is the step most consultants skip.

02
Data architecture and cleanup

Chart of Accounts built to your business structure. Item Group taxonomy, customer records, supplier records, opening balances. The system reflects your actual numbers from day one.

03
Module configuration

ERPNext configured to your workflows in the sequence that makes operational sense. Accounting, inventory, purchasing, sales, HR, payroll. Regional compliance built in for each market your business operates in.

04
Role-specific access and dashboard setup

Your warehouse manager does not need the full ERPNext menu. Neither does your accounts assistant. Access configured to match your team structure. Dashboards built for the decisions each role actually makes.

05
Team training and handoff documentation

Not a walkthrough of ERPNext features. Training built around how your team's specific workflows run in the configured system. Written documentation your team can reference without calling us.

06 · The differentiator
Post-go-live adoption monitoring

We do not exit at go-live. We monitor how the system is being used in the weeks after launch, fix what surfaces in real use, and stay until daily adoption by the primary users is confirmed. This is in the engagement agreement.

The configurations we do most often.

Every implementation is scoped to the specific business. These are the starting points we come back to most often across industries.

Finance and Accounting

Chart of accounts, cost centres, tax configuration, invoicing workflows, bank reconciliation.

Accounts Cost Centre Tax
Who this is for

Businesses moving off spreadsheets or manual bookkeeping. Getting this right first means every other module produces clean, reliable numbers from day one. Includes multi-currency, bank recon, and market-specific tax rules.

Inventory and Stock

Warehouses, stock items, reorder levels, valuation methods, purchase to stock flows.

Stock Warehouse Buying
What's included

Batch and serial number tracking, reorder alerts, FIFO/moving average valuation, multi-warehouse management. Expiry date configuration for perishables and regulated goods.

Sales and CRM pipeline

Lead capture, opportunity tracking, quotation to sales order, delivery, invoicing.

CRM Selling Accounts
What's included

Multi-currency pricing, discount management, delivery note integration, pipeline visibility, and sales analytics by rep, territory, or product line.

HR, Leave and Payroll

Employee records, leave policies, attendance tracking, and payroll processing.

HR Payroll Leave
Who this is for

Businesses of 20+ employees where HR admin is consuming significant manual time. Automated leave accruals, attendance, payslip generation, and department hierarchy built in.

Multi-department integration

Procurement, inventory, finance, and sales connected — no manual data transfers between teams.

All modules Workflow Reports
What's included

Role-based dashboards per team, automated approval workflows, and real-time inventory and financial visibility across departments — without anyone manually moving data.

Project and Service business

Project templates, task assignment, time logging, expense tracking, billing.

Projects Timesheet Billing
Who this is for

Agencies, consultancies, and professional services firms billing by time or project. Fixed-fee and time-and-materials billing, resource allocation, and project profitability reports.

From discovery to a live system your team actually uses.

Every ERPNext engagement follows the same five phases. The timelines vary by scope but the sequence does not.

01
Discovery

We map your current workflows, data sources, and the specific pain points you need ERPNext to solve. This shapes every configuration decision that follows.

1 to 2 weeks
02
System design

We design the module setup, Chart of Accounts, workflow rules, and data structure before touching the live system. You review and approve.

1 week
03
Configuration

We build the system in a staging environment. Modules configured, workflows set up, forms customised via Customize Form UI, print formats designed, roles and permissions defined.

3 to 6 weeks
04
Data migration and testing

Existing data is cleaned, mapped, and migrated. The full system is tested against real scenarios from your business before anyone goes live.

1 to 2 weeks
05
Training and go-live

Role-specific training for every user. Go-live support for the first two weeks. Documentation so your team is never dependent on us to answer basic questions.

2 weeks plus support

Book a call
Do we need a developer to use ERPNext?
No. ERPNext is designed to be configured without writing code. The system has a powerful set of built-in customisation tools including Customize Form UI and Frappe Form Builder that allow you to adapt forms, workflows, print formats, and reports to your business. Our entire approach is built around these native capabilities. You do not need a developer to implement it, and you do not need one to maintain it afterwards.
How is ERPNext different from other ERP systems like SAP or Odoo?
ERPNext is fully open source with no per-seat licensing fees, which makes it substantially more affordable for growing businesses than SAP or most Odoo tiers. It is also built specifically with small and medium businesses in mind. The Frappe framework it is built on is well-documented and has an active global community. The trade-off is that it requires proper configuration to work well, which is where we come in.
How does compliance configuration work for our market?
Each market has specific requirements: Peppol PINT-AE for UAE (51 mandatory FTA fields), ZATCA Phase 2 for Saudi Arabia (Fatoora UUID, QR stamp, Jeddah data residency), GRA E-VAT VSDC API plus Act 1151 levy for Ghana, and RRA EBM 2.1 via Injonge for Rwanda. We configure the relevant tax rules, print formats, and API connections through ERPNext's native capabilities — no custom code involved.
What happens if we need a feature ERPNext does not have out of the box?
In most cases, the feature exists but needs to be enabled or configured correctly. ERPNext has a very large native feature set that most businesses never fully explore. When a genuine gap exists, the first question we ask is whether the business process can be adapted rather than whether the system can be customised. In cases where a specific feature truly does not exist and cannot be worked around, we are transparent about that before the engagement starts.
How long does a typical implementation take?
A focused single-department implementation typically runs 6 to 8 weeks from kick-off to go-live. A full multi-department rollout covering finance, inventory, procurement, and HR is typically 3 to 5 months. The biggest variables are data quality coming in, how quickly your team can make decisions, and how many departments are involved. We give you a scoped timeline before the engagement begins.
Can you migrate our data from our existing systems?
Yes. Data migration is a core part of every implementation we do. We handle the planning, cleaning, mapping, and import of your existing data whether it lives in spreadsheets, accounting software, or another ERP. Data quality going in determines data quality coming out, so we are deliberately careful about this phase. Bad migration is the most common reason ERPNext implementations fail and we treat it accordingly.
