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

Business operations relied on disconnected systems and manual processes

Used separate systems for accounting, production, and reporting, resulting in disconnected business operations.
Had limited visibility into inventory movements, making stock discrepancies difficult to identify and investigate.
Lacked real-time coordination between stores, procurement, and finance teams.
Could not achieve end-to-end traceability between finished smart meters and their serialized components.
Managed extremely high serial number volumes with processes that could not scale efficiently.
Had limited production planning and quality control workflows for large manufacturing orders.
Relied on manual processes to manage inventory, quality inspections, and production scheduling across high-volume operations.
