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

  • Unique O2D and P2P Flows: These flows were custom designed to their business and could not be efficiently tracked or automated using generic systems.
  • Complex Leave Policies: They had an intricate leave structure that demanded a customized solution with flexibility tracking and reporting capabilities.
  • Geo-Location Based Attendance: A major requirement that they had was the ability to capture employee attendance based on geolocation based data to ensure accountability.
  • Scattered Systems: They had their workflows on the spreadsheets whereas they had accounting on the tally that lacked integration between each other further causing operational inefficiencies and delays and data silos.

Benefits

Kanak Infosystems partnered with The Catalysts Group to deliver a fully customized ERNext implementation that addressed their business challenges head-on:

  • Streamlined Unique Flows: Kanak configured & customized ERPNext to accommodate their O2D & P2P flows to allow better visibility of data and streamlined operations.
  • Customized Leave Management: By developing advanced functionalities within ERPNext, Kanak aligned their complex leave policies for transparency, control, and better tracking.
  • Mobile App for GeoLocation Attendance: Kanak developed a mobile application with ERPNext as its backend to facilitate employees to mark their attendance based on geolocation as well as facial recognition, further eliminating manual errors & proxy attendance.
  • Integrated Accounting with Payroll: The financial data was migrated from Tally to ERPNext along with the development of an app to manage ESIC & PF reporting, ensuring compliance with Indian Statutory requirements.

  • Enhanced Employee Experience- Simplified leave management process and mobile-based attendance empowered employees with better self-service capabilities.
  • Unified Integrated System: By moving away from the fragmented systems, The Catalysts Group now operates on a unified ERPNext Platform for better data management and smoother operations.
Partnering with Kanak Infosystems LLP for our ERPNext implementation has been a game-changer for us. We had several unique business & process related challenges- Our systems were fragmented, with workflows on spreadsheets and accounting on Tally, which led to inefficiencies and data silos. They came in with a deep understanding of our requirements and delivered a fully customized ERPNext solution that addressed each of our pain points. They not only streamlined our core workflows but also built a dedicated mobile app that allows our field staff to mark attendance through geo-location and facial recognition — drastically improving visibility and accountability. What truly stood out was their ability to align ERPNext with our complex leave policies and integrate accounting with payroll, including compliance-ready ESIC & PF reporting. The transition from disjointed systems to a unified platform has increased our operational efficiency, simplified compliance, and empowered our employees through better self-service tools. Kanak Team has great understanding of the processes & very flexible in adopting as per the customer’s business requirements. We really appreciate dedication of entire team keeping our interest on top of everything.
