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

  1. Bulk mobilization of in-house and rental employees, including room and vehicle allocations, with no centralized control.
  2. Creating project-wise timesheets for all mobilized employees from a single interface.
  3. Allocation of employee costs to projects during payroll processing.
  4. Generating attendance directly from timesheets and calculating salaries based on attendance and overtime on timesheet basis.
  5. Managing multiple types of employee advances, on-site petty cash, and transfer of advance balances between employees.
  6. Calculating absenteeism deductions using complex and variable payroll rules.

Benefits

ERPNext was customized and implemented as a single integrated platform to manage workforce deployment, time tracking, payroll, and project costing.


  1. ERPNext enabled bulk mobilization and demobilization of both in-house and rental employees. Rooms, vehicles, and other logistical assets were automatically allocated and released based on project assignments.
  2. A single, centralized interface was introduced to create and manage project-wise timesheets for all mobilized employees. This eliminated duplicate data entry and improved accuracy in time tracking
  3. Employee costs were automatically distributed to respective projects during payroll processing based on approved timesheets. This resulted in accurate project costing, faster financial close cycles, and real-time insights into labor expenses per project.
  4. Attendance records were generated directly from timesheets, with payroll calculations driven by actual working hours and overtime. This automation reduced payroll errors, ensured policy compliance, and removed dependency on manual attendance reconciliation.
  5. ERPNext streamlined the creation and tracking of multiple advance types, including personal advances, vehicle repairs, and on-site petty cash. The system also supported transfer of advance balances between employees, ensuring accurate accounting, transparent tracking, and smooth reconciliation during payroll.
  6. A fully configurable absenteeism deduction engine was implemented using complex, rule- based formulas. The solution supports partial-day deductions, multi-tier leave policies, and project-specific attendance rules.
