Process

Our ERPNext implementation process

Six focused phases from first scoping call to a clean ERPNext go-live — with weekly demos the whole way.

FAQ

How much does an ERPNext implementation cost?

ERPNext implementation cost is quoted per rollout and depends on modules, users, customization, integrations, and data migration scope. We tailor the scope to fit your budget — from single-module quick starts to multi-entity deployments. Share requirements on a short discovery call and receive a written estimate within 48 hours, free, with no obligation.

How long does an ERPNext implementation take?

Most ERPNext rollouts go live in 6 to 18 weeks. Focused single-module deployments run 6–8 weeks; mid-market multi-module rollouts 10–14 weeks; complex manufacturing or multi-entity projects 16–20 weeks. You will see a configured ERPNext on Frappe Cloud staging by the end of week three.

What is the difference between ERPNext and Odoo?

ERPNext is 100% open-source with a single free edition and is built on the Frappe framework. Odoo offers Community (open-source) and Enterprise (paid) editions with more premium apps. ERPNext often wins on pricing and transparency; Odoo often wins on polished UI and out-of-box app breadth. We build on both.

Should I host ERPNext on Frappe Cloud or self-host?

Frappe Cloud is the right default for most teams — managed infrastructure, backups, staging benches, and upgrades handled for you. Self-hosting on AWS / Azure / GCP makes sense when you need full data residency, custom networking, or heavier cost control at scale.

Can you migrate our data from Tally, SAP, QuickBooks, or another ERP?

Yes. We migrate master and transactional data from Tally, SAP Business One, QuickBooks, Zoho, Sage, Dynamics, Odoo, and custom systems. Every migration ships with a reconciliation report before cutover.

What is a Frappe app and why do you build them?

A Frappe app is a modular installable package that adds DocTypes, workflows, scripts, reports, and UI customizations to ERPNext without touching its core. Building customizations as Frappe apps keeps them version-controlled, portable across sites, and safe across ERPNext upgrades.

Will customizations survive ERPNext version upgrades?

Yes. Every customization we build is a proper Frappe app with tests and no core-file edits. Upgrade paths are planned in from day one so yearly ERPNext releases become a routine maintenance window.

Do you support ERPNext after go-live?

Yes. Every implementation includes 30 days of hypercare, after which most clients move to an AMC retainer with defined SLAs, monthly reviews, and an included yearly version upgrade window.

Can ERPNext integrate with WhatsApp, Shopify, payment gateways, and banks?

Yes. We integrate ERPNext with WhatsApp Business, Shopify, WooCommerce, marketplaces, payment gateways (Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal), shipping carriers, bank feeds, e-invoicing portals, and in-house systems using REST, webhooks, and scheduled jobs.

Does ERPNext handle multi-company, multi-currency, and multi-country?

Yes. ERPNext supports multi-company consolidation, multi-currency accounting, localized tax templates, and country-specific features. We have configured these for groups operating across India, the Middle East, Europe, South-East Asia, and North America.

Can you train our team to use and extend ERPNext?

Yes. We offer role-based end-user and super-user training, plus developer enablement on Frappe so your in-house team can build DocTypes, scripts, and reports independently.

Can AI be added to our ERPNext workflows?

Yes. We ship LLM-backed features inside ERPNext — invoice OCR, email triage, sales copilots, demand forecasting, receivables risk scoring, and HR helpdesk bots — grounded in your ERPNext data and guardrailed in production.
