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, Selco managed its operations using Tally, spreadsheets, paper records, and email-based workflows.
  • As the organization expanded across multiple states and service centers, these disconnected systems made it difficult to track projects, inventory, and financial information from a single place.
  • Monitoring inventory movements, including in-transit stock, required significant manual effort, while decentralized teams struggled with limited visibility and delayed access to business information.

Benefits

  • ERPNext provided Selco with a centralized platform to manage projects, inventory, procurement, accounts, CRM, and HR.
  • By replacing manual processes with integrated workflows, teams gained real-time access to business information across locations.
  • The flexibility of ERPNext also allowed Selco to customize reports, forms, and workflows to match the needs of different teams, making adoption easier across its decentralized operations.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

  • With ERPNext, Selco reduced its dependence on spreadsheets, paper records, and email-based coordination.
  • Teams now have better visibility into projects, inventory, and financial operations, enabling faster decision-making and improved collaboration across service centers.
  • The centralized system has also provided a scalable foundation to support Selco's continued growth and expanding renewable energy operations.
Moving from disconnected systems to ERPNext was a significant step for us. The Tridots team understood how our business operates and supported us throughout the implementation. Today, we have much better visibility across our projects, inventory, and finance, helping our teams make faster and more informed decisions.
