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.

Challenges

Before the move to ERPNext, which was realized in cooperation with Bavaria's K&K Software AG, the Gemeindewerke Adelsdorf did not have central system to manage their daily tasks. Data and files were scattered on several computers, and mails and tickets were not systematically organized. The main challenge was to set up a centralized system, which meant to identify and trim down processes. Furthermore, the different forms of data had to be saved and organized in one larger system in compliance with the GDPR.

Benefits

Since fixed processes did not really exist before setting up the system, the K&K Software AG and Adelsdorf developed them together. Adelsdorf's Elena Haberkamm served as a hotline between the two partners. Together, they integrated ERPNext into the daily operations of the Gemeindewerke Adelsdorf. ERPNext's modular framework served as a throughline and the two partners were able to move all critical processes into the system.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

The move to ERPNext solved two problems for the Gemeindewerke Adelsdorf. First, the Gemeindewerke are able to do their daily workload far quicker and more efficiently without sacrificing quality. Second, the move to ERPNext helped to establish fixed processes and structures in the first place. This is a particularly important part of centralizing operations in a system like ERPNext. Sometimes it needs a structured system to establish the structure in the first place.
