Fit to standard

Custom code is the last answer, not the first.

Too much customisation is why ERP systems stop upgrading. Every request climbs this ladder, and stops at the first rung that works.

01

Use the standard

Most gaps are features nobody showed you.

02

Configure

Fields, workflows, reports. Still upgrade-safe.

03

Work around

Same result with what is already there.

04

Buy, then build

A tested app first. Custom code last, in its own app.

Questions

Asked before every project.

How do payments work?

Implementations are fixed price, billed at five signed gates: 25% when the scope is signed, 25% at design, 25% when testing is signed, 15% at go-live and 10% when support takes over. Discovery is paid up front. Retainers are monthly in advance. Prices are in AED and no VAT is added.

Why ERPNext and not SAP, Odoo or Dynamics?

No per-user licence, full access to your data, and room to add exactly the missing piece. If something else fits you better, discovery is where I will say so.

Do you use AI? Does it change the price?

Yes. AI drafts the notes, documents, tests and code, so weeks of writing become days. I check every line. You pay for decisions and a working system, not page counts.

Can you take over a stuck project?

Yes. It starts with a short audit of the existing setup, and the quote comes after that, never before.

Do you work with ERPNext partners?

Yes, as a functional consultant on day rate. The client relationship stays yours.
