ERPNext Software

Excellent for small businesses with limited resources. Probably good for medium sized businesses as well as there are several mid sized companies (< 10 million t/o) also using this as figured out through the forum.

There is a very active forum and a very good team of active developers.

Would recommend the product purely on its stable functionality, ease of use and comprehensiveness.

Pros

Very very low cost if you can implement and host it yourself. We have hosted it on AWS and for the price of just the AWS infrastructure you have a world class system at your beck and call.

We have been using it for the last 2 years and run our small company (20 people) on this system for everything from purchase-to-pay, order-to-cash, accounting, payroll and HR, inventory etc.

It is also available as SaaS for a very reasonable price/seat.

The system is comprehensive and very thoughtfully designed and actively developed. It addresses country specific requirements for the most part (please check for your country).

Cons

The upgrades are a bit difficult for someone who is non technical.

New feature requests usually are addressed but needs external funding/support as it is open system and developed by the community.

Best way to use it after evaluating if viable for your business (by trying the 30 day trial on the cloud) is probably as SaaS.

i am an old user for microsoft dynamics ax it is one of the bigest ERP solution .when i want to use erpnext I find 70 to 80 % of the function is in the basic version and that is grat as start .

Pros

It easier to achieve your challenge and get the right goal

Cons

need to be easier in customization and update the user guide

Pros

This software is a delight to user and has almost evry feature that you can imagine for an ERP

Cons

Missing standard dashboard with some common graphs. Requires a bit of setup and customization even for simple applications. POS could use some improvement.

We were having problem with out of box CRM solutions, so we used ERP next and customized it to suit our requirement

Pros

Has complete functionalities from invoicing to industry specific verticals. We were really impressed by the comprehensiveness [Modules include Accounting, CRM, Inventory Management, Sales, Purchasing, Projects. Manufacturing, Education, Healthcare, E-Commerce, Website builder to even Mail support solution]

Cons

Integration with legacy systems requires complex technical expertise

Pros

● ERPNext is an Open Source ERP Software. It also utilizes open source dependencies.
● ERPNext has various features for different organizations such as schools, hospitals, sales companies etc.

Cons

● Setup is quite a task. Technical knowledge with dependencies such as MariaDB, Frappe, NodeJS, Redis is required both for setup and customization.
● Customization is quite a task since some of the modules are very close related.

with their specific flow

A fully operating ERP System for the fraction of the cost of commercial ERP Systems.

Pros

ERPNext has a good layout of there modules. ERPNext is easy to use when you know what is where, but overall i love the sofware.

Cons

ERPNext has some missing functionalities, but every update i see more and more being added to complete missing.

- Doctype concept they have used is extremely powerful and flexible.
- Quite a detailed documentation with ample videos and webinars (also available on youtube).
- Extremely strong accounting background.
- Same can be used for as many user roles you want. Can be used by start-ups as well large organisations.

Cons

It's improving but there needs to be more work from the community in terms of coding to support Frappe with new features and improving existing ones

I am using this software after reviewing Dynamics Nav, Oracle etc. Even though we can spend 250K AED for this project non of them could helped me to do field sales from a mobile or tablet.

I am using it for managing 10 van sales in UAE. I am tracking over 10 warehouses with serial number tracking.

Pros

Open-source, Custom Script, inventory, serial number tracking, email alert, Custom fields, reporting, sales, purchase, web view, mobile application, history of every transactions, easy to setup, growing community

Cons

Need more community members to provide sample scripts like stackoverflow. Now on the community very few people are posting how they solved their issue.

Pros

easy of use and powerful features
also the team who are working on this software are very active they came with at least one or tow new features a week

Better purchase, inventory and production management. Better interoperability between different departments- Sales, Accounts and Production. More importantly better adherence standard BOMs.

Pros

- Based on the Frappe framework, it makes it easily customizable
- Neat and responsive UI
- Great for manufacturing with Multilevel BOMs, managing multiple production departments
- No vendor lock in. The software 100% open-source. It provides great security to small scale businesses.
- Community driven and transparent approach to development

Cons

ERPNext user manuals should cover more number of use-cases. They typically cover the standard use-case.
Compared to products like Tally or SAP awareness of ERPNext in India is still low, end-user confidence and acceptance has to be essentially be established with trials.

Pros

Ease of use and codeless customization
Easy report builder
Value for money
Good look and feel
Works well on any device

Cons

Complex Setup for Roles and Permission Management
Needs a knowledgeable in house resource for a good implementation

Pros

Basic CRM was ok, all the basics were there including some basic inventory management and shipping tools.

Cons

The platform out of the box is very inflexible and at the time of testing many touted features simply were not present or did not behave as advertised.

Pros

Ease of use, Simple Interface, Customizable, Awesome Community, APIs available. Overall this is best value for money for sure.

Cons

Point of Sale: Cash / Cashier / Sessions Management needs a lot of work I guess. Still it's open so yet customizable indeed.

i did,t get any benefit from this software because its too complicated

Cons

i am not like manufacturing module because its too difficult to proceed it very long process to complete it.
