Businesses are spending 2-6% of their revenue on proprietary SaaS, which keeps growing exponentially with time thanks to per-user pricing plans. But that is not the case with hosting costs.

We recommend hosting ERPNext on Frappe Cloud—a simple, reliable, scalable, and secure hosting platform for Frappe apps. It simplifies upgrades, backups, custom app deployments, and more. Frappe Cloud comes with a first-party warranty for Frappe applications like ERPNext, FrappeHR, and Frappe Framework.

No per-user pricing

pay only for hosting

I tried a lot of ERP systems before using ERPNext, and let me say that this is the only system that has it all and very customizable for my arts and supplies business needs, let alone integrating it with other platforms easily, and you have full control of everything.

What we have found with feature requests, is that Frappe always listens and eventually acts on them. One just needs to submit their request and be patient. Only sustainable way for Frappe, or any other entity in their position, else they would be picking this, and that, and not getting anything done eventually.

ERPNext stands out from other ERP software by being fully open-source, cost-effective, and designed with small and medium businesses in mind. Unlike many traditional ERP systems that are complex to use, ERPNext offers an intuitive user interface, which helps users learn fast and use with ease. There is no “Per User Fee” for ERPNext. This helps growing businesses reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as compared to legacy ERP software. ERPNext is open source - that means there is no vendor lock-in, unlike traditional ERP systems, where you are at the mercy of the OEM and their implementation partner for even small modifications.

Yes, ERPNext is built to scale alongside your business. It supports multi-company setups, user roles, advanced user permissions, and can manage high transaction volumes. As your business processes evolve, ERPNext can be extended with additional modules, custom workflows, and third-party integrations. Cherry on the cake - ERPNext has no “Per User Fee”. You will need to pay only for the extra compute capacity needed. So cost doesn’t increase linearly with your scale.

Not necessarily. ERPNext is designed to be user-friendly and can be implemented without a dedicated IT team. Many small businesses set up ERPNext on their own using ERPNext's online documentation. For basic implementations, we have Success Packs (available in limited regions) where our certified partners help you get started quickly for a small fee. However, for more complex setups or customizations, you may choose to work with an ERPNext implementation partner in a dedicated engagement. You can find a suitable partner for your use case.

Implementation time varies depending on the size of your business and the number of modules you're using. For most small businesses, an ERPNext implementation can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks. Deployments with standard modules like Accounting, CRM, and Inventory are often completed faster. More advanced features like Manufacturing or custom workflows may require additional planning and data migration.

ERPNext offers extensive support options to ensure a smooth experience post-implementation. You can access free online documentation, community forums, video tutorials, technical support via HelpDesk directly from the ERPNext team. If you have implemented ERPNext via any of our certified partners, they will help you fix basic issues and escalate to the Frappe team in case of advance cases and bug fixes.

Yes, ERPNext is designed to integrate with other business tools through its RESTful API and a growing ecosystem of Marketplace apps. Common integrations include authentication tools (LDAP, fairlogin), backup methods (Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3), bank integrations (Plaid), payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, RazorPay, GoCardless, Braintree, M-pesa, Paytm), ecommerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Unicommerce, Zenoti), and communication tools (Twilio, Exotel). This ensures that your ERP system works seamlessly with the software you already use, reducing double entry and improving efficiency.

ERPNext is highly flexible and works well for service-based businesses in addition to traditional industries like manufacturing, distribution and retail. It includes modules for project management, timesheets, invoicing, CRM, help desk, and HR - all of which are essential for service providers. Whether you run a consultancy, IT services firm, digital agency, or legal practice, ERPNext provides the tools to manage operations efficiently within a single ERP system.

Break down data silos and streamline operations by integrating ERPNext with your favorite apps—effortless connectivity for a faster-growing business.
