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

Before implementing ERPNext, Fashion Planet faced several operational challenges:

  • Decentralized Purchasing: Purchasing was fragmented, leading to inefficiencies.
  • Lack of E-Commerce Integration: Shopify and physical stores operated separately.
  • Use of Third-Party POS: The previous system lacked integration with their business processes.
  • Software Difficulties in Retail Shops: Employees struggled with usability and management. Connectivity & Accessibility Issues – Desktop-based software limited mobility and remote access.
