What an ERPNext implementation really costs

ERPNext has no licence fees. You pay for the setup: configuration, data migration, customisation and training, scoped by Havenir, a certified ERPNext partner listed on frappe.io. The estimator puts a distributor with up to 50 users at USD 11,000–17,000 and 16–23 weeks to go-live; answer a few questions for your own range.

Estimate cost and timeline

USD 11,000–17,000

Another system means Tally, QuickBooks, Zoho, Excel or any other ERP.
People who work in ERPNext daily. Employee self-service doesn't count.
Master data is the records each module needs: customers, suppliers, items, employees, assets, machines and so on. Opening balances are stock on hand, what customers owe you, what you owe suppliers and your account balances on the go-live date.
Heavy: billing or workflows ERPNext doesn't have, such as progress billing with retention.

Typical ranges

For a company replacing Tally, QuickBooks or Excel, with one legal entity, opening balances migrated and some customisation. No licence fees on top. Compare with Odoo and SAP Business One

ProjectCostTime to go-live
Distributor, up to 50 users, accounting, stock, buying and selling, fixed assetsUSD 11,000–17,00016–23 weeks
Manufacturer, up to 50 users, same modules plus manufacturing and payroll for up to 100 employeesUSD 15,500–24,50023–34 weeks
Larger manufacturer, 51–150 users, payroll for 101–500 employeesUSD 19,500–30,00029–42 weeks

Ranges are calibrated on Havenir's completed implementations. Timelines assume your team tests and signs off each phase on schedule. With more than 150 users, four or more companies, payroll for more than 500 employees, or past transactions to migrate, there is no range: we scope those on a 30-minute call.

What drives the cost

  • Modules

    Accounting, stock, buying and selling are the core. Manufacturing adds the most, then HR and payroll.

  • Users and companies

    More users means more roles, permissions and training. Each extra company adds its own books and rules.

  • Data migration

    Master data moves quickly. Opening balances need reconciling. Past transactions are scoped per project.

  • Customisation

    Custom features and print formats are the largest line items on past projects. They are scoped in the proposal, not discovered later.

  • Running costs

    The support plan starts with the project and is required: from USD 165 a month with Frappe Cloud hosting, or quoted in your proposal if you host ERPNext yourself. No licence fees: ERPNext is open source, with no per-user fees and no paid edition.

How you pay, and how long it takes

An advance is due when you sign the proposal; the rest falls due at milestones set in it, such as modules signed off in UAT or go-live. How the phases run

Usually 10 to 34 weeks for a full implementation (accounts, stock and operations), if your team tests and signs off each phase on schedule. Larger manufacturers take longer; one implementation took over a year.

Quoted in USD, excluding VAT and sales tax. EU clients are invoiced in EUR by Havenir Solutions GmbH; Pakistani clients can pay in PKR at the rate stated on the invoice.
