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

The company had three kinds of workers and a sales team, and neither HR nor sales had a clean process.

  • Three employee categories: on-roll, contractual and off-roll employees need different salary structures, but there were none in place, so monthly payroll was confusing and error-prone.
  • Unmapped employee records: employees were not correctly categorised, so it was unclear who belonged where.
  • Manual attendance and overtime: attendance was kept manually, which led to disputes, and overtime took hours to work out by hand.
  • Unstructured sales process: there was no CRM flow, so leads were lost and there was no activity history for leads and opportunities.

Benefits

  • Separate salary structures: one structure each for on-roll, contractual and off-roll employees. HR assigns the right one when adding an employee and payroll follows from it.
  • Biometric integration: biometric devices send punch-in and punch-out times to ERPNext, and overtime is calculated automatically from them.
  • Clean employee master: all employee records were corrected and categorised, which makes HR reports and compliance straightforward.
  • CRM workflow: every lead and opportunity follows a defined flow, and calls, meetings and follow-ups are recorded against it.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

  • Monthly payroll is accurate for all three employee categories.
  • Overtime is calculated by the system instead of by hand.
  • Attendance disputes have largely stopped because punch records are the reference.
  • Sales can follow up on every lead and see its full history.
  • Management gets reliable data on attendance, labour cost and sales.
