Generic ERP asks you to describe your business in its vocabulary. These products already speak yours: sampling approvals, batch expiry, bin addresses, treatment protocols, guest folios, from the day they are installed.

Underneath, every one of them is the same ERPNext core, so accounting, purchasing, inventory and reporting are shared and long since proven. What differs is the industry-specific half, which is exactly the half that usually ends up in a spreadsheet.

02The range

Each one arrives already knowing the work

Not a set of modules you configure into shape. The vocabulary, the documents and the approvals of one trade, installed and running before the first line of custom work.

Not on this list

Something else entirely

A foundry, a broking desk, a school. Most builds begin as one of these products and grow a part of their own. Where nothing here fits, the core still does, and the industry layer gets written rather than bought.

Custom builds
03Common ground

What is true of all of them

Whichever product you start from, the commercial model and the engineering underneath are the same.

  1. 01

    Live in 3-4 months, not 18

    We start from a system that already knows your workflows. Most go live within a single quarter; the industry average is 14-18 months.

  2. 02

    You pay to build it, not to log in

    One-time build cost, unlimited users. Add the shop floor, every branch and the sales team without a per-seat line on the invoice.

  3. 03

    You own the stack, all the way down

    ERPNext and Frappe underneath: open source, self-hostable, no proprietary lock-in. Take the code and the database whenever you want.

  4. 04

    The people who scope it are the ones who build it

    Same engineers through configuration, deployment and support. Nothing goes to an offshore delivery pool halfway through.

  5. 05

    The upgrade does not undo the build

    Version upgrades leave your customisations intact. SLA-backed support, proactive monitoring and quarterly health checks throughout.

04Another way in

Or start from the trade you are in

Every industry page names the parts of the job that go wrong most often, then points at the product that handles them.

All industries

Which of these is closest to what you run?

Tell us the two or three things that break most often. Fifteen minutes is usually enough to say whether one of these products already handles them, or what it would take to make it.
