ERPNext & Frappe

The ERP you own, implemented end to end

Most of our work extends an ERP somebody else licenses to you. ERPNext is the one we implement outright — a full finance, inventory, sales, HR and payroll core that runs on your own infrastructure, with no per-seat licence to renew.

Extended with the Frappe framework

NV360 builds and ships production apps on Frappe, not only configuration — see what that means.

Two ways in

Where are you starting from?

Replacing spreadsheets or Tally

One system instead of six

Accounts in one place, stock in another, and a spreadsheet reconciling them at month end. ERPNext puts the whole operation on one system of record, so a sales order, the stock it consumes and the invoice it produces are the same transaction rather than three re-entries.

How we deliver it

Outgrowing your current ERP

A core you are allowed to change

The usual complaints are the licence bill rising with headcount, and a change request that takes two quarters. An open-source core removes the first and shortens the second — the code is yours to extend. Where your existing ERP is the right answer, we will say so and integrate with it instead.

What we implement

The modules that carry the business

Configured around how you already work, not a demo dataset. Start with the ones that hurt most and add the rest as you go.

Finance & Accounting

Ledgers, multi-currency, cost centres, budgets and statutory reports.

Inventory & Warehouse

Multi-warehouse stock, batches and serials, valuation and stock reconciliation.

Purchase

Requests, supplier quotations, purchase orders and three-way matching on receipt.

Sales & CRM

Leads and opportunities through quotation, order, delivery note and invoice.

Manufacturing

Bills of material, work orders, job cards, routing and production planning.

Projects

Tasks, timesheets, billing rates and project profitability against budget.

HR & Payroll

Employee records, attendance, leave, salary structures and payroll runs.

Assets

Asset registers, depreciation schedules, maintenance and disposal.

Built for your region

Compliance configured, not bolted on

An ERP that cannot produce an invoice your tax authority accepts is not finished. We set this up during implementation.

United Arab Emirates

Dubai HQ

  • VAT at 5% with the right treatment for designated zones
  • Corporate tax reporting from the same ledger
  • Arabic and English invoice layouts

India

Development centre, Chennai

  • GST with CGST, SGST and IGST handled correctly
  • E-invoicing with IRN and QR code generation
  • TDS deduction and e-way bill data

Saudi Arabia

Delivered with our KSA technology partner

  • ZATCA Phase 1 compliant invoice generation
  • Phase 2 clearance, XML and cryptographic stamping
  • Arabic-first document templates

We already ship e-invoicing in production

ZATCA compliance is not new work for us. Our e-invoicing engine handles Phase 1 and Phase 2 clearance today, connected to ERPs other than ERPNext.

Why ERPNext

An honest comparison, from people who sell both

We implement, integrate and support Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP, so we have no reason to oversell the alternative. ERPNext wins on a specific set of trade-offs, and it is worth being precise about which.

Where you need capabilities a licensed ERP does better, or your group already standardised on one, that is the right answer and we will tell you so.

No per-seat licence

Your hundredth user costs what your tenth did. Giving the warehouse floor or a seasonal team access stops being a budget decision.

You own the data and the code

Application, database and any custom apps are yours. Nothing contractual or technical stops you moving them elsewhere.

Extend anything

The framework underneath is the same one the product is built on, so a custom module is a first-class app, not a workaround.

A shorter change cycle

Adding a field, a report or an approval step is a day of work, not a licensing conversation followed by a quarter of waiting.

How we deliver

Six steps, in this order for a reason

Each one depends on the one before it. Skipping discovery is how an implementation becomes a spreadsheet with extra steps.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We map how you actually run today — your chart of accounts, stock movements, approval chains and the spreadsheets doing real work. Usually about a week.

  2. 2

    Configure

    ERPNext is set up around those processes: company structure, tax templates, item masters, workflows and permissions.

  3. 3

    Migrate

    Masters, opening balances and history move across, then get reconciled against your existing books before anyone relies on them.

  4. 4

    Extend

    Whatever the standard product does not cover is built as a proper Frappe app, so it survives upgrades instead of being patched into core.

  5. 5

    Roll out

    Training by role, parallel running where the risk warrants it, and a go-live plan with a way back. This is the step most projects underestimate.

  6. 6

    Support

    A team across Dubai and Chennai working in your timezone, covering upgrades, month-end and the questions that only appear in production.

Hosting runs either way — your infrastructure and your cloud account, or a managed bench we operate with backups, monitoring and upgrades handled.

Beyond configuration

We build on Frappe, not just inside ERPNext

Most of what an implementation needs is configuration. The rest is software, and that is where projects usually stall — the requirement does not fit the standard product, so it gets patched into core and the instance can never be upgraded again.

We build those requirements as separate Frappe apps. It is the same framework ERPNext itself is built on, and it is work we do continuously rather than only on client projects.

FAQ

The ones you were going to ask anyway.

What does ERPNext cost?
The software is open source, so there is no licence fee and no per-seat charge — adding your hundredth user costs the same as your tenth. You pay for implementation, any custom development, hosting and support. That is a very different shape from licensed ERP, where the user count drives the bill for as long as you run it.
Can you migrate our data from Tally, SAP or Dynamics 365?
Yes. Masters, opening balances and transaction history are the usual scope. We reconcile the migrated figures against your existing books before go-live, because a migration nobody has checked is not a migration. Where you are keeping a system rather than replacing it, we integrate with it instead.
Who owns the data and the system?
You do. ERPNext is open source, so the application, the database and any custom apps we build for you are yours. There is no vendor lock-in clause that stops you hosting it elsewhere or engaging another team, and nothing technical that prevents it either.
Can we host it ourselves?
Yes — on your own servers, in your own cloud account, or on a bench we run for you. Self-hosting matters where data residency rules apply, which is a common requirement in Saudi Arabia and increasingly in the UAE.
Will our customisations survive an upgrade?
That depends entirely on how they are built. We build customisations as separate Frappe apps rather than editing core, which is what keeps them upgradeable. Work patched directly into core is the usual reason an ERPNext instance ends up stuck on an old version.
Do you work outside the UAE?
Yes. We deliver from Dubai and our development centre in Chennai, covering the UAE, India and Saudi Arabia. Regional tax and compliance requirements are configured as part of the implementation rather than bolted on afterwards.
