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

  • As Specsmakers expanded to more than 275 stores across 40+ cities, managing retail operations on its existing Oracle-based system became increasingly challenging.
  • The business required a platform that could adapt to its evolving retail and supply chain processes while supporting its unique optical workflows.
  • Previous migration efforts did not meet these expectations, particularly for the custom Lens Ordering System (LOS), which plays a critical role in the company's day-to-day operations.
  • The organization also needed a unified platform to manage CRM, sales, purchasing, inventory, finance, POS, and supply chain efficiently across all store locations while maintaining operational consistency.

Benefits

ERPNext was implemented as a centralized platform connecting Specsmakers' retail, finance, inventory, purchasing, CRM, and point-of-sale operations.

  • A custom Lens Ordering System (LOS) was developed within ERPNext to support the company's specialized optical business processes while following ERPNext's extensible framework.
  • By bringing business functions together on a single platform, the implementation eliminated the need for disconnected systems and provided teams with real-time access to operational information.
  • The flexibility of ERPNext also allows Specsmakers to continue enhancing its processes as the business grows.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

  • Today, Specsmakers manages its retail and supply chain operations through ERPNext across more than 275 stores.
  • The implementation stands among the largest ERPNext retail deployments in the Frappe ecosystem, providing centralized visibility into inventory, customer orders, procurement, finance, and store operations.
  • With standardized processes and a custom Lens Ordering System, the company now has a scalable platform to support its continued growth.
We knew moving from Oracle to ERPNext would be a big change. The Tridots team worked closely with us, understood our business, and made the transition easier than we expected. Today, we have a system that fits the way we work and supports our future growth.
