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

Dealing with SAP systems has led to significant expenses in terms of hardware (HANA) and user licenses. This has resulted in delays in onboarding new team members since purchasing licenses and learning how to navigate the complex systems took time. Additionally, the team found it challenging to customize the systems to meet their specific business requirements. Any change required an expert consultant who would take a long time and also charge heavily.


The scope of work included manufacturing, inventory management, procurement, and selling along with accounting, HR, and Payroll.

Benefits

Sanskar Technolob successfully tackled tasks related to data transformation, data validation, migration of both master and transactional data, data backup, and post-migration monitoring, and went live in a record time of 2 months. This is only possible because of Sanskar Technolab's unique 4-step migration process from SAP to ERPNext.


Starting from the financial year 1st April 2024, they have fully transitioned to ERPNext and ceased the use of SAP. The User Interface of ERPNext is intuitive and easy to navigate, significantly reducing the learning curve for their team members and allowing them to quickly adapt to the new system. The platform is web and user-friendly, ensuring easy accessibility from anywhere, at any time. This feature has proven invaluable for their remote and hybrid working arrangements. ERPNext seamlessly integrates with their existing business processes and requirements, including WhatsApp.


Overall, the transition has reduced license costs, allowed them to leverage unlimited users on ERPNext via Frappe Cloud, and made onboarding of new members faster. In the future, Vijay Mamra is planning to build a website on Frappe Builder and use Frappe Insights for advanced reporting tools and customizable dashboards to gain deeper insights into our business performance.

Impact

Successful on-time ERPNext go-live

Increased sales order to cash

Increased inventory turnover

Here are some metrics that prove the impact

  • Reduced the cost by a whopping 60% in user onboarding and platform hardware management
  • Whatsapp integration completed within 5 days
  • With the simple platform, 23% increase in efficiency for operations
  • Unlimited users on ERPNext via Frappe Cloud
I have observed several positive aspects of the ERPNext system: The user interface of ERPNext is intuitive and easy to navigate. This has significantly reduced the learning curve for our team members, allowing them to quickly adapt to the new system. I appreciate the level of customization that was possible with ERPNext. The team at Sanskar Technolab team took the time to understand our specific business needs and tailored the system accordingly. In conclusion, I want to express my gratitude to you and your team for your hard work and dedication throughout this ERPNext implementation. I am confident that with continued collaboration, we can address these issues and further optimize the system to meet our needs.
