The Problem

Does This Sound Familiar?

Every one of these is a solvable process and technology problem — not a “we need more staff” problem. Here's what our clients face before they come to us:

01

Your Current System Can't Handle GST Complexity

Tally handles basic accounting, but when you need e-Invoice generation, e-Way Bill integration, HSN-wise GST reconciliation, and automated GSTR-1/GSTR-3B filing — you're copy-pasting data between Tally, the GST portal, and Excel. Every filing period is a fire drill.

02

You're Outgrowing Tally But Can't Justify SAP or BC Costs

You need multi-user inventory management, manufacturing BOMs, CRM, and real-time financial reporting. Tally can't do it. But SAP and BC licensing costs would eat 15-20% of your IT budget. You're stuck in the middle with no clear upgrade path.

03

Your 'ERP' Is Actually 4 Different Tools That Don't Talk to Each Other

Accounting in Tally. Inventory in Excel. Sales tracking in a custom PHP app someone built 5 years ago. Manufacturing data on paper. Reconciling these four 'systems' at month-end takes a week and produces numbers nobody fully trusts.

04

You Tried ERPNext But the Implementation Failed

You hired a freelancer who deployed ERPNext on a cheap VPS with no SSL, incomplete India compliance setup, and zero training. Your team tried using it for a month, got frustrated, and went back to Excel. Now you think ERPNext 'doesn't work' — but the problem was the implementation, not the software.

The Solution

ERPNext is a powerful, modern ERP — when deployed and configured correctly. We bring enterprise-grade implementation discipline to the open-source world: Docker-based production deployment, full India compliance configuration, custom Frappe apps for your unique workflows, and a training program that eliminates the 'we-don't-know-how-to-use-it' problem. Here's how we do it:

How We Deliver

Detailed breakdown of what you get, how we do it, and what the result looks like.

01

Production-Grade Deployment

ERPNext on Docker — secure, backed up, and monitored

We deploy ERPNext using Docker in a production configuration on your infrastructure or cloud (AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean). This is not a 'run-the-install-script-on-a-VM' setup — this is a containerized, SSL-secured, automated-backup deployment designed for business-critical operations.

What You Get

Multi-container Docker deployment (ERPNext, MariaDB, Redis, Nginx) with proper resource isolation
SSL/TLS certificate setup with auto-renewal — your data is encrypted in transit
Automated daily backups to cloud storage with retention policies
Monitoring and alerting — you know if the server is running low on disk or CPU before it becomes a problem
Staging environment for testing changes before they hit production

Real Scenario

A trading company's previous freelancer had installed ERPNext on a shared hosting VPS with no SSL, no backups, and a single point of failure. We migrated them to a Docker-based deployment on a dedicated cloud instance with automated backups to S3, SSL with auto-renewal, and a staging server for testing. When their VPS crashed 3 months later, we restored from backup in under 2 hours with zero data loss.

02

India Compliance — Done Right

GST, e-Invoice, e-Way Bill — configured, tested, and automated

The India Compliance app for ERPNext is feature-rich — but configuring it correctly requires understanding of both the software AND Indian tax regulation. We set up everything end-to-end: from company GST details and HSN/SAC codes to automated e-Invoice generation and GSTR-1/GSTR-3B reconciliation.

What You Get

Complete GST setup: company GSTIN, HSN/SAC code mapping, tax templates for intra-state and inter-state transactions
e-Invoice generation directly from sales invoices — no uploading to the IRP portal manually
e-Way Bill generation triggered automatically when invoice value exceeds threshold
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B reports generated from ERPNext data — ready for upload, no Excel manipulation
TDS/TCS configuration with automated deduction and certificate generation

Real Scenario

A distribution company was generating 500+ invoices monthly and manually uploading each one to the e-Invoice portal — a full-time person's job. We configured the India Compliance app's e-Invoice integration so every sales invoice auto-generates an IRN and QR code at the time of saving. Manual uploads: zero.

03

Custom Frappe App Development

When standard ERPNext doesn't cover your industry-specific workflows

ERPNext covers 80% of common business operations out of the box. The remaining 20% — your industry-specific workflows, compliance requirements, or unique business rules — are where we build custom Frappe apps. These are modular, upgrade-safe apps that extend ERPNext without modifying core code.

What You Get

Custom DocTypes that model your specific business entities (e.g., 'Production Batch', 'Quality Inspection Report', 'Vendor Rate Contract')
Custom print formats matching your statutory requirements and brand identity
Server-side Python scripts for complex business logic — validation rules, auto-calculations, approval workflows
Custom reports with charts, filters, and drill-down — built with Frappe's reporting engine
Role-based access control so each department sees only what they need

Real Scenario

A pharma distributor needed batch-wise expiry tracking with automatic quarantine of near-expiry stock — a workflow standard ERPNext doesn't handle out of the box. We built a custom Frappe app that auto-flags batches within 90 days of expiry, prevents their sale, and sends email alerts to the warehouse manager. Expired stock write-offs dropped 60% in the first quarter.

04

Legacy Data Migration

From Tally, Excel, or any legacy system — clean, validated, and reconciled

Migrating years of data from Tally, Excel, or a legacy ERP into ERPNext is the most critical (and most botched) part of any implementation. We use a structured ETL approach: Extract, Transform, Load, and Validate — with reconciliation reports at every stage so you know the data is accurate before go-live.

What You Get

Data extraction from your current system — Tally XML exports, Excel files, SQL dumps, or API-based extraction
Data mapping document showing exactly how each field in your legacy system maps to ERPNext
Transformation scripts that clean, normalize, and validate data before loading
Trial migration with reconciliation reports — opening balances, outstanding invoices, stock quantities verified
Final cutover migration with rollback plan — we can revert within hours if anything goes wrong

Real Scenario

A 15-year-old trading business had 8 years of Tally data with inconsistent ledger naming, duplicate accounts, and missing opening balances. We wrote Python scripts that analyzed their Tally XML export, identified 142 duplicate/near-duplicate accounts, normalized naming conventions, and migrated clean data into ERPNext. The migrated trial balance matched their last Tally balance sheet to the paisa.
