Help people to use our tools

We believe our tools like ERPNext can help organizations reduce waste and complexity. Frappe + ERPNext has the potential to be a “full stack” replacement for not only ERP (SAP/Oracle) but also the entire enterprise stack (Java/.NET). With this scope, we should help organizations by providing products and services to help them manage their technology platforms.

Why ERPNext over SAP B1 / Oracle

100% FOSS

Customizable

Future-ready

Challenges

  • Fragmented branch books: Each branch kept its own sales and purchase records, with no real-time company-wide view
  • Disconnected invoicing: Ticket, hotel and package invoices recorded outside accounts, requiring manual re-keying before month-end
  • Informal approvals: Supplier bills moved without structured sign-off, limiting visibility before payment
  • Manual asset tracking: Vehicles, equipment and fit-outs logged in registers, slowing depreciation and audit prep
  • Inconsistent inventory: Documents, vouchers and merchandise tracked differently per branch, causing count mismatches
  • Slow consolidation: Company-wide financials built by manually combining every branch's data before reviews

Benefits

  • Multi-branch ERPNext: Data Value Solutions rolled out five core modules across all four branches, so tickets, supplier bills, assets and stock live in one system
  • One chart of accounts: Centralised Accounting unifies every branch's ledger from Riyadh to Unaizah
  • Sales at source: Tickets, packages and service invoices recorded at transaction, auto-posted to the right customer and branch
  • Structured purchasing: Airline, hotel and tour operator bills go through a set approval sequence before payment
  • Automated fixed assets: System-based asset register with automatic depreciation, replacing manual calculations
  • Real-time inventory: Documents, vouchers and merchandise tracked per branch and warehouse, keeping records aligned
  • On-demand reporting: Consolidated financial view by branch or company-wide, anytime
