ERPNext is a comprehensive and affordable ERP solution containing modules that allow small and medium businesses to manage planning, budgeting, inventory and supply chain management, accounting and human resources. ERPNext is open source software written in Python, JavaScript and MySQL.
ERPNext was launched in 2010 after five years of development, and is owned by Web Notes Technologies. Web Notes strives to provide an affordable, integrated business solution for small to mid-size businesses.
Some of ERPNEXT’s key features include:
ERPNext is an interesting ERP web app because it takes the complexity out of ERP and is much more affordable than most of its competitors. The problem facing many companies nowadays is that a proper ERP system is very expensive and difficult to implement.
This is where ERPNext is very different from most ERPs. Unlike many ERP systems, ERPNext is open-source and is designed for small to medium-sized businesses. It is based on wnframework, which was built primarily for the system itself but also features plenty of customization options.
In addition to phone and email support, ERPNext offers a collection of tutorials in their Knowledge Base as well as helpful instruction with Guides featuring several helpful articles to get you started and keep your system running smooth.
ERPNext can be easily integrated with several other tools like Magento Shopping Cart, Quickbooks and Tally, also with marketplaces including Amazon and Ebay.
The company claims that even more extensions and applications are on the way to further build on.
I didn’t really come across too many problems with ERPNext. Although, I’m sure some will think that its simplicity is infact a problem with the system. But you need to keep in mind that some people prefer a simple and easy to use system compared to one with all the bells and whistles.
A more complex system is great, if you have the ability and knowledge to operate it, and also if you prefer more options. I’m not saying that ERPNext is good or that it is lacking due to its simplicity, I’m only saying that the system isn’t complex, nor does it claim to be and that some people may prefer they type of system as opposed to another.
ERPNext, for the most part does what it was designed to do. Provide a bare-bones, easy to understand ERP at an affordable price.
