In our architecture
Modules we implement on ERPNext & Frappe
Enterprise ERP
An ERP built around how your operation actually runs, not textbook workflows

Manufacturing & MRP
Plan production schedules based on actual machine capacity and material availability
Point of Sale
Retail and counter POS that never stops running, even when your internet drops
HR Management

Approach map · Platform implementation
Standard first, custom only where it cannot fit
Standard features win by default because they upgrade cleanly.
We sit with the people doing the work and map how orders, stock and money actually move today, including the spreadsheets nobody mentions in the first meeting.
What happens
- Process walk-throughs with key users
- Inventory of every data source
- Quantifying where time is lost
What you get
- Current-state process map
- Data source and quality audit
- Scope baseline
What we need from you
- Sample invoices, orders and spreadsheets
- Two-hour interviews with each department lead
Risk handled
Critical spreadsheets that management does not know staff rely on.
We walk every requirement against the platform's standard features and mark each one as fit, configure, or gap. Standard wins by default because it upgrades cleanly.
Gate: Custom development only where standard cannot fit.
What happens
- Requirement-by-requirement fit-gap review
- Standard-process demos to your team
- Gap costing
What you get
- Fit-gap register
- Costed list of justified customisations
What we need from you
- Willingness to change a process where the standard one is better
- Sign-off on the gap list
Risk handled
Customizations that break on the next platform upgrade.
We provision environments, configure the standard modules to the blueprint, and build any approved extensions.
What happens
- Environment setup and hardening
- Module configuration
- Approved custom development
What you get
- Working staging environment
- Configured modules matching the blueprint
What we need from you
- Tax settings, bank details and branding assets
- Named admin users
Risk handled
Configuration drifting away from what was agreed in the blueprint.
We extract customers, vendors, products and balances from your current tools, remove duplicates and load trial datasets you can check.
What happens
- Migration scripts
- Duplicate detection
- Trial balance reconciliation
What you get
- Staging database loaded with cleaned data
- Reconciliation sheet
What we need from you
- Decisions on flagged duplicates
- Lists of inactive products and customers to archive
Risk handled
Bad legacy data being carried into the new system on day one.
We connect the system to the tools that stay: banks, e-commerce stores, payroll, shipping and anything else agreed in the blueprint.
What happens
- API and webhook connectors
- Error handling and retries
- End-to-end integration tests
What you get
- Tested integrations in staging
- Integration runbook
What we need from you
- API credentials and vendor contacts for connected systems
Risk handled
Silent sync failures that nobody notices until month-end.
Your staff test real scenarios in staging and learn the system role by role, with recorded guides they can return to.
What happens
- Role-based training sessions
- Scenario testing
- Fix sprints on UAT findings
What you get
- Signed UAT test matrix
- Recorded training library
What we need from you
- Key users available about four hours a week for testing
Risk handled
Staff meeting the system for the first time on go-live day.
We freeze the old system, move the final changes across, verify opening balances and switch over, usually across a weekend.
What happens
- Final delta migration
- Opening balance verification
- Hardware and scanner checks
What you get
- Live production system
- Signed cutover checklist
What we need from you
- A data-entry freeze on the old system at an agreed time
Risk handled
Downtime during trading hours.
The team that built the system stays on it after go-live: fixing issues on the day they surface, adjusting screens staff struggle with, and sitting with finance through the first month-end close.
What happens
- Daily check-in with your project lead
- Same-day fixes and small adjustments
- First month-end close support
What you get
- Hypercare issue log with resolutions
- First month-end close sign-off
What we need from you
- A 15-minute daily call with your project lead
- Staff reporting problems as they happen, not at the end of the week
Risk handled
Early friction pushing staff back to the old spreadsheets.
With clean data in one system, we automate the repetitive work around it: invoice capture, reorder drafts, approval routing and alerts.
What happens
- Automation opportunity review
- Workflow and agent build
- Monitoring and tuning
What you get
- Live automation workflows
- Monthly report of hours recovered
What we need from you
- A ranked list of the bottlenecks you want gone next
Risk handled
The new system settling into a passive record-keeping tool.
Can ERPNext be hosted on our private cloud or on-premise servers?
Yes. ERPNext can be deployed on AWS, Hetzner, Google Cloud, private VPS, or dedicated customer on-premise hardware via Docker or Frappe bench.
How does Ideentrix customize ERPNext?
We build custom Frappe apps that live independently of core ERPNext, ensuring upgrades never overwrite your custom business logic.
