ERPNext on the factory floor

ERPNext's manufacturing module covers what a mid-sized Qatari factory needs: bills of material with operations and workstations, work orders that reserve and consume material, job cards that operators complete on a tablet, production plans that turn sales orders into material requests and work orders, quality inspections at receipt and in process, subcontracting, and costing that lands in the ledger. Because there is no per-user licence, every operator and supervisor can have a login.

The work is in the plant model. How BOMs are structured, whether costing is standard or moving average, where scrap and rework are recorded, how subcontracted operations flow, and whether the floor works on tablets or paper. We map the plant with production and finance, configure ERPNext around it, and reconcile the first month's production cost to accounts before calling it live. Where the plant needs something the module does not do, our customisation practice builds it on Frappe.

For a comparison with the most common alternative, see Odoo Manufacturing; for the platform-neutral picture, manufacturing ERP in Qatar.

What production and finance managers tell us

“Costing lives in a spreadsheet”

Standard costs set once, never reconciled, and margin that surprises everyone.

“The floor and the system disagree”

Consumption recorded after the shift, so stock in the system is a fiction.

“We cannot give every operator a login”

Per-user licences made floor data capture unaffordable, so it stays on paper.

“Local content evidence takes days to assemble”

Supplier, origin and cost data in five files.

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We do not publish a price, because the honest answer depends on scope.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
