The engineers who scoped it

The processes that are genuinely yours are usually the ones that make you competitive.

Force them into a standard ERP screen and they end up in a spreadsheet beside it. We build them properly — doctypes, server-side validation, approval workflows, scheduled jobs, print formats, portals — as a versioned Frappe app in source control, deployed through a pipeline and re-applied cleanly at every ERPNext upgrade.

02Deliverables

What we actually hand over

New doctypes, workflows, validations, reports and portals, written as versioned code so upgrades do not undo them.

  1. 01

    Custom doctypes and data model

    New entities with links, permissions and validation, modelled so reporting falls out naturally.

  2. 02

    Workflows and approval chains

    State machines with role-gated transitions, conditional routing and escalation — exceptions included.

  3. 03

    Server-side business rules

    Server-side validation that no determined user, bulk import or third-party API call can bypass.

  4. 04

    Reports and print formats

    Query and script reports, dashboard charts, and print formats matching your documents exactly, awkward paper sizes included.

  5. 05

    Portals and external interfaces

    Customer, supplier and partner portals, plus single-page apps where the desk is too slow for a role.

  6. 06

    Upgrade-safe delivery

    A versioned app with migration patches. The next ERPNext release cannot quietly erase six months of work.

03Engagement

How the work gets shaped

Pick whichever shape suits the work. We will tell you which one we think fits before you ask, and say so plainly if the answer is none of them.

Whichever you pick, the same engineers stay on it. Nothing moves to a delivery pool halfway through.

  • Fixed-scope projects with written deliverables and dates
  • Retained development capacity for continuous improvement
  • Code review and rescue work on existing custom apps

Tell us what is actually going wrong

Fifteen minutes on WhatsApp is usually enough to tell whether an ERP is the right answer for you. If it is not, we will say so.
