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

Decentralised Systems and Data Silos: The client was using multiple standalone software applications to manage various business functions. This lack of a centralised database created data inconsistencies, limited visibility across departments, and required manual reconciliation efforts.
POS Connectivity Across 180+ Centres: Over 180 locations were using a third-party POS system that operated independently of inventory and financial systems. There was no real-time data sync, which caused operational delays and disconnected reporting.
Limitations of Legacy ERP (Epicor): The previously used ERP, Epicor, struggled to manage large volumes of transactional and serialised data. This led to frequent system slowdowns, unreliable business intelligence, and reporting challenges at scale.
Absence of Automated Workflows: The client lacked end-to-end automation across core business functions. Finance, inventory, procurement, and compliance processes operated in isolation, resulting in inefficiencies, errors, and delays in decision-making.
