Frequently asked questions
How long does an ERPNext implementation take?
A typical ERPNext implementation for a small to mid-size business takes 6 to 16 weeks depending on complexity, number of modules, and data migration scope. We provide a detailed project timeline during the discovery phase so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
How much does ERPNext implementation cost?
Implementation cost depends on the number of modules, integrations required, data migration complexity, and team size for training. We offer fixed-scope packages for common setups and custom quotes for complex environments. Contact us for a no-obligation estimate based on your specific requirements.
What are the risks of data migration and how do you manage them?
Data migration risks include incorrect mapping, duplicate records, and opening balance mismatches. We mitigate these by running multiple test migrations in a staging environment, validating totals against your source system, and performing a parallel run period before cutover. Your data is never deleted from the source system until you confirm the migration is accurate.
How do you approach training for our team?
Training is role-based and hands-on. We run separate sessions for accounts, sales, inventory, HR, and system administrators using your actual business data and scenarios. We also record sessions for onboarding future staff and provide written quick-reference guides for every role.
What support do you provide after go-live?
Every implementation includes 3 months of dedicated post-launch support. This covers bug fixes, configuration adjustments, user questions, and monthly check-in calls to review adoption and identify any process gaps. After 3 months we offer ongoing retainer support plans for continued assistance.
