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

  • Growing pains: Truzon Solar's processes struggled to keep up with expansion across India
  • Fragmented EPC workflow: Lead, survey, design, budgeting, quotation, procurement, dispatch and installation ran on disconnected processes; standard ERP didn't fit solar needs
  • Slow quotations: Shared Excel pricing made quotes time-consuming and hard to control across a distributed field force
  • Complex warehousing: Solar equipment needed zone, rack, shelf, pallet and bin tracking, with capacity checks and putaway beyond standard inventory
  • Limited field visibility: No real-time view of field activity, locations or customer visits
  • Partner management: Large channel and affiliate network needed structured agreements, lead sharing, referral fees and subsidy handling
  • Disconnected tools: Neodove and payment platforms sat outside the ERP, causing manual work and data mismatches
  • Headcount pressure: Manual processes would have required significant extra staff as volumes grew

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

The impact

  • Scaling without matching headcount: Truzon Solar can grow project volume without hiring at the same rate

Key metrics

  • Project throughput: 4–5 a year → 50 in FY25–26
  • Quotation turnaround: Multiple days → 2–4 hours
  • Headcount avoided: 70–80 positions
  • Manpower efficiency: +20%
  • Customer app users: 0 → 10,000+

Highlights

  • 10x project growth: From 4–5 projects to 50, without the 70–80 extra hires it would have needed
  • Faster sales: Built-in pricing intelligence speeds quotes and reduces reliance on central teams
  • Connected operations: Automated sales, finance, HR, procurement, inventory and project workflows replaced manual processes
  • Customer and referral ecosystem: 10,000+ app users; referral platform turns customers and partners into a lead source
  • Built for solar: Structured around the real lifecycle (survey → design → pricing → quotation → execution → dispatch → installation), making ERP a growth backbone, not just a record-keeper
“We have reduced our manpower by 20% while improving efficiency. Without this ERP system, we would have had to recruit another 70–80 people to manage the same scale of operations. It has enhanced productivity, minimised errors, and vastly improved our speed of execution.”
Mr. Ch. Bhavani Suresh
