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

Challenges

Only the Focus application was used for accounting; no tracking for manufacturing, stock, or other operational modules.
Lack of visibility on material movement and usage across operations.
Unable to calculate labour, consumables, and electricity costs accurately.
Inter-company transactions between Samer Al Gaddah International General Trading Co. L.L.C. and Al Nisr Al Thahabi Lubricants & Oil Industry L.L.C were difficult to manage and track.
HR and payroll processes were manual; attendance tracking and biometric monitoring in Excel were cumbersome.
Sales performance and commission tracking for individual salespersons were unclear.
Administrative records like device details and trade license expiry were hard to monitor, leading to missed notifications.
Financial reporting was limited; only basic accounting was managed with Focus, with no consolidated reports, asset tracking, or customised statements.

One unified ERP system supporting scalable and controlled business growth.

Before ERPNext, our processes were largely manual and difficult to manage. Reporting was slow, and information was spread across multiple systems. The Wahni IT Solutions support team worked closely with us, clearly understanding our needs and guiding us throughout the implementation. Their timely support made the transition smooth and easy. Today, we manage all core operations from a single system with real-time visibility, giving us the confidence to focus on growth.
