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

The Shading Company LLC, was utilizing a dual system approach for their operations. They had custom-built several automation processes in Apple FileMaker for operational tasks, while SAP B1 was used for accounting purposes. This setup required multiple data entries, leading to inefficiencies and a higher chance of errors. As they looked to adopt a new system, it was crucial to replicate these automations to ensure seamless operations

Benefits

Key improvements included automated Bill of Materials (BOM) creation, dynamic pricing for product bundles, and RAK Digital Payment integration for streamlined financial operations. QCS also implemented automated item code generation for improved inventory management and developed custom reports tailored to the company's workflows. These enhancements increased efficiency, reduced manual errors, and provided actionable insights, empowering The Shading Company to make strategic decisions and drive sustained growth

Impact

The team quickly adapted, maximizing productivity from the outset. Automation of data entry and the removal of redundant manual tasks led to significant efficiency gains, reducing the potential for errors and ensuring data consistency across the board. This streamlined workflow not only saved valuable time but also allowed the team to concentrate on more strategic tasks rather than routine data management, ultimately enhancing overall productivity and operational effectiveness.
