ERPNext implementation for Dutch trading and distribution

ERPNext can record tax-coded transactions, currencies, purchases, sales, landed costs, and ledger data. The company’s Dutch or EU tax adviser should confirm treatment and reporting, which are then translated into configuration, integrations, and representative tests.

Projects in the Netherlands are run from our London office, the company’s primary office, and our Ahmedabad engineering centre. Workshops, UAT and training are scheduled with your process owners as online sessions.

ERPNext can become the trade and operating core after accounts, VAT rules, currencies, opening positions, stock, open documents, and integration boundaries are reconciled.

Dutch and EU VAT treatment, accounting interfaces, cross-border reporting, and GDPR responsibilities are confirmed with the company’s advisers. Tax and statutory requirements are confirmed with your finance team and advisers before configuration.

We quote after a discovery call and the fit-gap blueprint, so the price reflects your modules, users, data, integrations and customization. Hosting is billed separately.

It depends on modules, data quality, integrations and how quickly your team completes UAT. Every project gets a dated phase plan after the fit-gap blueprint. Our manufacturing clients PFive Bags and Shimnit India went live in four and six months.

Yes, where standard ERPNext does not cover a requirement. Reports, workflows, integrations, print formats, validations and portals are built as separate custom apps, outside the ERPNext core, so upgrades stay possible.

A hypercare period follows go-live. After that, support moves to an AMC hour or ticket pack handled through Midocean Helpdesk, with requests by email or WhatsApp logged as tickets, Monday to Friday, 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM IST. Development is estimated separately, and a response-time SLA applies only when agreed in writing.

ERPNext is open-source ERP software for running a business in one system: accounting, selling, buying, stock, manufacturing, projects, CRM, HR and assets. It is built by Frappe Technologies on the Frappe Framework.

The software is free: ERPNext is open source under the GNU GPL v3 license, with no license fee and no paid edition. You pay for hosting, implementation and support, from Frappe, a partner such as Midocean, or your own team.

Frappe Technologies, based in Mumbai, develops ERPNext and the Frappe Framework, with contributions from a worldwide open-source community. Partners such as Midocean implement and support it for businesses.

Both. You can run ERPNext on Frappe Cloud, Frappe’s managed hosting, or on your own server or cloud account. The software is the same either way, and you can move between them with a full backup.

Yes. Custom fields, forms, print formats, workflows and reports can be set up without code. Larger changes are built as separate Frappe apps outside the ERPNext core, so version upgrades stay possible.

Yes. ERPNext runs in the browser and its screens adapt to phones and tablets, so there is nothing to install. For shop-floor and field work, Midocean also builds mobile apps for ERPNext, such as BrassERP for work orders.

Yes. Every ERPNext document is available through a REST API and webhooks, and connectors exist for payment gateways and online stores such as Shopify. We build and test integrations as part of the implementation.

There is no license limit on users; capacity depends on hosting. Our client Shimnit India runs ERPNext for 200+ users across 180+ centres, with 500+ API hits per second.

ERPNext has role-based permissions down to individual records, a version history on every document, two-factor login, and activity and access logs. Overall security also depends on hosting, backups and access policies, which we set up with you.

Both are open-source ERP systems. ERPNext is fully open source with no paid edition, while Odoo has a free Community edition and a paid Enterprise edition with more apps. We implement both, so we can compare them against your requirements.

Frappe Insights is Frappe’s open-source business intelligence tool. It builds charts and dashboards from ERPNext data with a visual query builder or SQL, so management reports no longer depend on spreadsheet exports.

Frappe CRM is Frappe’s open-source CRM for sales teams, with leads and deals in list and Kanban views, email, and call and WhatsApp integrations. It connects to ERPNext, so won deals carry through to customers and quotations.
