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

A couple of years ago, Sandra Shroff Gnyan Dham School faced several operational challenges.

  • Reporting Inaccuracy: Manual reporting to regulatory board (CBSE) and government agencies led to errors and delays
  • Fee Collection Delays: Fee collection processes took over a month, impacting cash flow and administrative efficiency
  • User Experience: Parents encountered difficulties accessing information and paying fees, affecting their satisfaction


During this time Devang Desai, who leads their admin and IT operations was on the lookout to simplify these challenges. They tried opting for other solutions like Vidyala and Campus Dean but that didn't help. Things changed after they met with Frappe Partner Greycube, who helped with Frappe's open-source education app.

Benefits

Devang Desai spearheaded the adoption of ERPNext. With ERPNext, Gyan Dham School experienced many benefits.


Customizable Reporting: ERPNext’s flexibility enabled a seamless generation of accurate reports for regulatory compliance, improving transparency and accountability.


Faster Fee Collection: Every month parents will get a simple WhatsApp message as a reminder to pay the fees and a Razorpay link to complete the payment. This helped parents click on the link and make a payment immediately. This automated workflow for fee reconciliation and payment receipts simplified operations for both school administrators and parents, with faster and convenient collections, and simplified reconciliations.  


Enhanced Parental Engagement: With the Frappe framework, Grecube helped design a student and parent portal. The introduction of a parent portal provided real-time access to student results, attendance records, fee statements, and more, enhancing communication and satisfaction.


As you can guess it was really hard to move accounting out of Tally however it was said to be on their roadmap soon.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

The implementation of ERPNext brought substantial benefits to Gyan Dhaan School.


Efficient Fee Collection: Reduced fee collection delays significantly improved cash flow and operational efficiency.


Better User Experience: Automated processes and a user-friendly interface improved parent satisfaction and engagement.


Time Savings: Streamlined reporting and payment reconciliation saved approximately 15 hours per week, enabling staff to focus more on educational initiatives.

ERPNext education is very modular. It significantly simplified fee collection, reporting, admissions, and parent relations.
