Open-Source ERP System for Complete Business Management
ERPNext is a comprehensive, 100% open-source ERP platform that handles accounting, inventory, manufacturing, projects, HR, and CRM in one unified system.
ERPNext is a powerful, open-source Enterprise Resource Planning system designed to help businesses manage every aspect of their operations without the fragmentation of multiple software tools. Built on the Frappe Framework (Python and JavaScript) with a modern Vue-based interface, it delivers enterprise-grade functionality accessible to organizations of all sizes.
The platform covers accounting and financial reporting, order management with full inventory tracking, manufacturing workflows including subcontracting and capacity planning, asset lifecycle management, and project delivery with time and budget controls. Additional modules include HR management, CRM, procurement, point-of-sale, healthcare, and support ticketing.
ERPNext can be deployed via managed hosting on Frappe Cloud for turnkey operation, self-hosted using Docker for containerized environments, or installed manually using the bench CLI tool. The system is built for extensibility, allowing developers to customize workflows and build additional applications on the underlying Frappe Framework. Comprehensive documentation, community forums, and learning resources support both users and developers throughout implementation and daily operations.
