Business systems that don't break under pressure.
I design, implement, and run ERPNext-based operations systems—plus custom extensions, integrations, and AI automation—so workflows stay simple, data stays trustworthy, and systems stay stable as you grow.
- Operations teams actually use the system
- Data you can trust for decisions
- No scrambling when you need to scale
The usual problems
What happens with typical implementations—and what I do instead.
ERP that complicates work
- × Teams forced into clunky workflows they bypass with spreadsheets
- × Feature overload, no clarity on what matters
- ✓ Map real workflows before configuration
- ✓ Strip unnecessary steps, keep only what adds value
Customizations that kill upgrades
- × Core files modified, version upgrades impossible
- × No documentation, broken on first patch
- ✓ Custom modules built on Frappe Framework properly
- ✓ Safe to upgrade, no hacks, documented patterns
No one owns the full system
- × Vendor implements, hosting vendor deploys, no one connects the dots
- × Blame bounces around when something breaks
- ✓ End-to-end responsibility: design, build, deploy, maintain
- ✓ One person accountable for the entire system
Core Services
End-to-end responsibility for business systems that work.
ERPNext Implementation & Workflow Design
For retail, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution businesses. I map your processes before touching any configuration, simplify workflows to match how work actually happens, and migrate data cleanly so teams adopt the system instead of fighting it.
- → Process mapping & workflow simplification
- → Clean data migration & validation
- → Training & adoption support
Custom ERPNext Modules & Extensions
Built on Frappe Framework, upgrade-safe, no hacks. Custom DocTypes, approval workflows, customer/supplier portals, document automation, print formats, and secure REST APIs. Documented, maintainable, and safe to upgrade.
- → Custom DocTypes & business logic
- → Approval workflows & portals
- → Upgrade-safe, documented code
Micro-Apps, Integrations & Workflow Automation
Purpose-built lightweight tools and integrations. Connect ERPNext with external systems via REST APIs and webhooks, build mobile micro-apps for field operations, automate background jobs and queues. Built with Python, Node.js, and TypeScript.
- → ERPNext integrations (REST/webhooks)
- → Mobile micro-apps for field teams
- → Background jobs & queue automation
AI-Enabled Systems & Intelligent Automation
No hype. Use proven APIs like OpenAI or deploy privately hosted open-source models. Focus on data control, reliability, and predictable operating costs. Document extraction, meeting transcription with Whisper/WhisperX, internal search assistants, automated tagging.
- → Document extraction & classification
- → Whisper transcription & summaries
- → Self-hosted models or OpenAI APIs
Hosting, Security & Production Reliability
Stable, secure ERPNext hosting on Docker and Linux (Ubuntu). Automated backups, performance tuning, version upgrades, SSL/TLS, monitoring. Deployed on cloud infrastructure with predictable costs. No surprises, no downtime drama.
- → Docker/Linux production deployments
- → Automated backups & monitoring
- → Performance tuning & upgrades
Focused Setup Services
Structured, scoped starting points. These bounded services get one area right—often used before broader system work.
Inventory Setup (ERPNext)
- • Item master strategy: naming conventions, groups, UOM structure
- • Warehouse & location setup aligned to operations
- • Stock entry workflows & permissions
- • Opening stock import & validation
Accounting & Chart of Accounts Setup
- • Chart of Accounts aligned to operational structure
- • VAT/tax configuration (where applicable)
- • Opening balances & reconciliation
- • Customer/supplier payment workflows
Manufacturing Foundation Setup
- • Items & Bill of Materials (BOM) structure
- • Operations, workstations, routing setup
- • Job card workflows & material consumption logic
- • Basic costing visibility & reporting structure
These services are bounded in scope and focused on getting one area right. They're often used as starting points before broader system implementation.

Predictable phases, clear ownership, no surprises.
Understand workflows and constraints
Before any configuration, I map how work actually happens—not how it should happen in theory. I identify bottlenecks, data quality issues, and constraints that matter.
Design before building
I create a phased implementation plan showing what gets built when, what data needs to be cleaned, and what training is required. You see the full picture before we commit.
Implement in phases (lowest risk first)
Start with the areas that provide immediate value or reduce operational pain. Build confidence before tackling the complex areas. Roll out incrementally so teams aren't overwhelmed.
Document + train + clean handover
Every custom module, integration, and workflow is documented. Teams are trained on what they need to know—not everything the system can do. Clean handover so you're not dependent on me.
Ongoing ownership (optional)
After handover, I can stay on for hosting, upgrades, extensions, and new integrations—or you can take it fully in-house. The system is yours either way.
What I've built
Real problems solved for real businesses.
Complete production visibility
No visibility into material consumption, job costing, or inventory accuracy. Spreadsheet chaos.
Structured BOM, job cards, material consumption tracking, and accounting integration. Custom reports for actual vs. planned costs.
Real-time costing data. Production planning based on accurate inventory. Finance stopped asking where materials went.
Inventory cleanup & automation
Duplicate items, inconsistent naming, manual purchase order workflows. Purchasing team drowning in admin work.
Cleaned 8,000+ SKUs, standardized item structure, automated reorder workflows, integrated supplier APIs for stock checks.
Purchasing time cut by 60%. Stock-outs dropped. Clean data enabled accurate demand forecasting.
Approval workflows & document management
Critical approvals handled via email and WhatsApp. No audit trail, constant follow-ups, documents lost.
Custom DocTypes for approvals, role-based workflows, document attachments with version control, email notifications.
Approval turnaround time cut in half. Full audit trail. Senior management stopped chasing people for signatures.
Meeting transcription & summarization
Hours wasted transcribing client meetings and extracting action items. Inconsistent note quality.
Self-hosted Whisper model for transcription, summarization pipeline with action item extraction, integrated into reporting dashboard.
Transcription automated, action items tracked in ERPNext, searchable meeting archive. Sales team reclaimed 10+ hours/week.
Technologies
Tools chosen for reliability and long-term ownership, not trends.
ERP & Frameworks
Backend & APIs
Frontend
Used when needed for internal tools and micro-apps
Data
AI & Machine Learning
Infrastructure
I choose technologies that are well-documented, widely supported, and maintainable over the long term. The goal is building systems you can own and operate—not creating dependency on obscure tools or bleeding-edge experiments that won't be supported in two years.
