Buyer questions
Important Notes Before You Buy
These pages are designed for serious UK teams comparing open-source CRM or HRMS with conventional SaaS. The commercial model is transparent because scope clarity matters.
We position this as fixed-cost implementation and AMC support, not a free full-service deployment. Final scope depends on data, integrations, hosting, training, and change requests.
Does Frappe HR replace our payroll advisor?
No. We configure payroll-ready structures, inputs, workflows, and reports. Statutory review, final payroll advice, and legal compliance remain with your payroll or accounting advisor.
Can employees use HRMS without per-user license pressure?
The open-source app does not create a per-user software license from Midocean. Implementation, hosting, support, devices, and third-party services are scoped separately.
Can you integrate attendance devices?
Yes, device or API integration can be scoped after reviewing the biometric system, data format, shift rules, and attendance policy.
Is Frappe HR suitable for multi-location teams?
Yes. We can configure companies, branches, departments, shifts, holiday lists, permissions, and reporting by location or business unit.
