Frappe
The only ERP you'll ever need
ERPNext is a free, open-source enterprise resource planning system that brings accounting, sales, procurement, CRM, stock, manufacturing, projects, point of sale, quality, support, HR and payroll into a single integrated platform. It addresses the fragmentation and manual work that arise from running disconnected applications or adopting proprietary ERP suites, supporting multi-subsidiary, multi-currency operations with global tax and compliance handling.
The platform includes modules such as Accounting, Procurement, Sales, CRM, Stock, Manufacturing, Projects, Point of Sale, Quality and Support, alongside capabilities like multi-level BOM, work orders, SLA management, approval workflows, roles and permissions, and document management. It is API-first for third-party integrations, mobile-friendly, and customizable through a no-code/low-code builder for forms, reports, print formats and dashboards. Frappe also maintains related business apps including Frappe HR, Insights, CRM, Helpdesk and Learning.
ERPNext is aimed at businesses of varying sizes across industries including manufacturing, trading, retail, professional services and non-profits. The software itself is free and open-source under AGPL-3.0; costs arise from hosting and implementation. A 14-day free trial is available through Frappe Cloud, with hosting billed by usage rather than per user. Implementation can be self-directed or handled by certified partners, and enterprise plans are available on request.
