Qatari HR and payroll on ERPNext

Frappe HR, the HRMS and payroll app for ERPNext, covers the employee lifecycle from recruitment and onboarding through attendance, leave, expenses, appraisal, payroll and exit. For a Qatari employer already on ERPNext, running HR here means payroll journals post straight into accounts, timesheets from projects or manufacturing feed payroll, and every employee can use self-service without a per-user licence.

The Qatar rules are modelled in salary structures and policies: GRSIA contribution components that differ for Qatari and non-Qatari employees, housing and transport allowances, overtime, loans and advances, WPS bank-file output, Hajj and Ramadan leave rules on Hijri calendars, Qatar ID and contract expiry with alerts, and end-of-service accrual and settlement. Where the standard app stops, our customisation practice extends it on Frappe.

For a standalone HR system without ERPNext, Zoho People and Payroll is often the better fit; the platform-neutral picture is on our HR and payroll software in Qatar page.

What HR and finance managers tell us

“Payroll runs in Excel and posts by journal”

Two systems and a month-end that depends on one person.

“We found the expired Qatar ID from the fine”

Document expiry in a folder, not a system that warns 90 days out.

“Leave balances are argued about every Eid”

Policies never configured, accruals settled by negotiation.

“We cannot afford HR logins for everyone”

Per-user licences kept self-service out of reach.

What it costs

We do not publish a price, because the honest answer depends on scope. What we can publish is exactly what you will be paying for, and which part usually gets forgotten.

Cost	What it is	When it lands	What moves it
Licences	Per user or per app, published by the vendor	Annual or monthly	User count and which apps you actually need
Implementation	Discovery, configuration, migration, training	One-off, largest cost in year one	Branches, data quality, integrations
Support / AMC	Ongoing help after go-live	Annual	How much you want handled for you
Your team's time	Decisions, testing, data clean-up	Throughout	Real even though it appears on no quote

Why businesses pick us

Partner on four platforms, not one

We are a Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext and ManageEngine partner and also implement Salesforce. If ERPNext is the wrong fit for the problem you described, we will say so before you buy licences rather than after.

Arabic and English in one system

Interface, documents and reports in both, which matters when the team works in Arabic and management reads reports in English.

Configured for Qatari practice

Invoicing workflows configurable around GTA e-invoicing, VAT treatment set at entry, and payroll outputs shaped for WPS and GRSIA.

We stay after go-live

The first month-end close surfaces everything the scoping missed. Most of the real value of an implementation is delivered in those weeks.

A team in Doha, not a ticket queue

Consultants you can meet, in your timezone and your working week, who scoped the project and then configured it.

We will tell you not to buy

If the problem is your data or your process rather than your software, a new licence will not fix it. We say that early.

Organisations we have worked with

A selection of the organisations we have delivered ERP and business software work for, across finance, healthcare, trading, logistics and professional services.
