Companies that chose Havenir for ERPNext
Sound familiar?
Stock you can't trust
The system says one number, the warehouse says another, and month-end write-offs settle the argument.
Month-end that takes weeks
Sales, purchases and stock live in different tools, so closing the books means reconciling them by hand.
Costing by spreadsheet
Product cost and margin come from a workbook someone updates when they have time.
What you get
Accounting, stock, buying and selling in one system, plus the pieces manufacturers and distributors need.
Production planning
Bills of materials, work orders and production plans driven by real stock and open orders.
Batch and lot traceability
Trace any batch from supplier receipt through production to the customer invoice.
Job and project costing
Material, labour, subcontractor and overhead costs posted to each job or project against its budget, so margin is known before it closes.
Multi-company accounting
Separate books per legal entity, with inter-company transactions and consolidated reports.
Multi-warehouse stock
Know what is in which warehouse before you promise it. Pick lists, multiple units of measure and reorder levels included.
Reports and dashboards
The reports you run today, rebuilt on live data instead of exports.
Control over who sees and changes what
Approvals and access by role
Material requests and purchase orders that would exceed a project or cost-centre budget are stopped or flagged, and those above your limits go to the right person for approval, as do discounts. Each user sees and changes only what their role allows, down to the company, warehouse and field.
An audit trail
Changes to your records are kept with who made them and when, and logins, exports and deletions are logged. A submitted invoice is never overwritten: it is cancelled and amended, and the original stays on file.
Your own database
Your ERPNext has a database of its own, separate from every other company's. Nothing is stored in tables shared with another customer.
How it works
Under our standard agreement, an advance is due at signing, and discovery ends in a signed scope. Each module then ends in a UAT sign-off, followed by its milestone payment, and the last payment is due at go-live.
- Phase 1
Discovery
Your processes mapped to ERPNext, gaps listed, and customisation scoped and priced.
Signed scope - Phase 2
Configuration and migration
Modules set up for your processes; masters and opening balances moved and reconciled against your old system.
- Phase 3
UAT and training
Your team runs real transactions and signs off each module. Training happens here, on your own data.
Sign-off per module - Phase 4
Go-live
Go-live is planned for the start of a month, so operations keep running. The old system stays read-only for reference, or runs in parallel for a period if you choose.
- Phase 5
Hypercare
Close support until your first month-end close on ERPNext, then regular support through the helpdesk. In the months after, the first improvements come from your own reports: stock ageing, purchase analysis and production plan versus actual.

Data migration without losing history
Customers, suppliers, items and opening balances come across as standard, whether you're leaving Tally or another ERP. Open orders and full transaction history are optional and priced in the proposal; otherwise history stays in your old system, read-only, or exported to files.
Balances are reconciled against your old system before go-live, and you can run both systems in parallel for a period if you want the extra check.
Standard ERPNext first. Custom code only where it earns its keep.
Most of what you need is already in ERPNext, so that gets configured before anything is written. Where your process really differs, the customisation is scoped and priced in the proposal, built as its own app instead of edits to ERPNext itself, tried on a staging copy of your site first, and tested against each update before it reaches your system.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Email [email protected] or book a call.
We're not a manufacturer or distributor. Will ERPNext fit?
If you buy, hold stock, run projects or deliver services, most of what you do is standard ERPNext. Radiant Medical imports and buys locally, bids on government projects, approves earnest money deposits and runs service and construction work, all in ERPNext. For construction, bills of quantities and progress billing with retention are custom; we scope and price them in the proposal.
Have you implemented ERPNext for manufacturers?
Yes. TJ Switches makes cables and assembles switches and lights from imported parts, with bills of materials and work orders in ERPNext across Lahore and Islamabad. IRC Dairy runs ERPNext with over 100 users. Read the TJ Switches case study.
Can you deliver a rollout for 100+ users?
Yes. Radiant Medical and IRC Dairy each run ERPNext with over 100 users, with payroll for 150+ employees at Radiant and 200+ staff at IRC Dairy. Ahmad led both as consultant and developer, with a project manager alongside, and each department's key users were trained first, during UAT. Start dates are booked so every project gets the founder's time. QuickSolutions' customer portal serves more than 23,000 people.
How long does it take?
Go-live usually takes 10 to 33 weeks for a full implementation (accounts, stock and operations); larger manufacturers take longer. The estimator gives a range for your scope.
Can we roll out in phases?
Not module by module: sales, stock, buying and accounts post into each other, so all modules go live together, though each is tested and signed off on its own during UAT. Branches can go live one at a time if they run independently or on separate systems today. Branches that share stock and accounts go live together. Each extra branch adds its own migration, UAT, training and go-live, so a branch-by-branch rollout costs more; the milestones and price are set during scoping.
Who will we work with?
Muhammad Ahmad, the founder, leads every project as consultant. A project manager joins larger rollouts, and Frappe developers only when the scope needs a custom app; he reviews their code before it reaches your system. His leave is planned between phases and announced ahead. Your system isn't tied to one person: it runs on Frappe Cloud, on standard ERPNext wherever possible. European clients contract with Havenir Solutions GmbH in Bremen.
Will we have to change how we work?
Where ERPNext's standard way works, we use it, because it costs less and survives updates. Where your process really differs, we scope a customisation in discovery. Your project owner decides which, with the cost of each in front of them.
Can warehouse and shop-floor staff use it?
Yes. Items are scanned by barcode on stock and sales documents, and staff work on phones and tablets in the browser or the Frappe HR app. It runs in the browser, so it needs an internet connection.
What do you need from our team?
One project owner who decides on scope, for about 2–3 hours a week. One key user per module, who joins discovery, tests in UAT and trains colleagues, for about 4–6 hours a week during UAT. Your team exports customers, suppliers, items and opening balances from the old system; we import and reconcile them.
What if we need changes mid-project?
Anything outside the signed scope that can wait becomes a separate scope after go-live. If it can't wait, you get a fixed-price quote, and work starts only after you approve it. The agreed phases keep their price, under the change process in your agreement.
Will you help at our first year-end?
Yes. Your first year-end close on ERPNext is guided as part of the support plan; after that, year-end questions are handled like any other ticket. Auditors can get a read-only user for the books and the audit trail.
Can we speak to one of your clients?
Yes. After the scoping call we connect you with a client who has agreed to take reference calls, in your industry where we can.
Will we be locked in?
No. ERPNext is open source, and you get Administrator access to your system. Ownership, handover and exit are set out in your agreement.
Where is it hosted?
On Frappe Cloud, in the region closest to your offices, run by Havenir while we support your system. Hosting, updates and app installs stay with us, so every update is tested before it reaches your system.
Is training included?
Yes. Training happens during UAT, on your own data, before go-live. Each department's key users are trained first. On-site days, in Pakistan or abroad, are available and priced in the proposal.
What about FBR and EU VAT?
EU VAT is set up as part of accounting. German and Belgian e-invoicing (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Peppol) and DATEV exports aren't part of a standard setup yet; we scope them per project. FBR digital invoicing is a fixed-price integration.
Can ERPNext connect to our other systems?
Yes, through its REST API and webhooks. We have built integrations with FBR digital invoicing and ZKTeco biometric attendance devices. Every integration is priced separately from the implementation.
