Frappe customization and development

When the standard platform does not cover a specific business requirement, we extend ERPNext with custom functionality built around your processes.

Techincglobal extends ERPNext when your business needs functionality that is not covered by the standard platform. We first look at what can be handled through configuration, then develop custom functionality where a specific requirement calls for something more.

Our customizations are built using Frappe Framework and designed to remain maintainable as your ERPNext system evolves.

What does frappe customization and development involve?

ERPNext provides a broad set of business functions, but no standard ERP can cover every way a business works. You may have a process that is specific to your industry, a workflow that needs additional steps, information that needs to be captured differently, or a system that ERPNext needs to exchange data with.

Techincglobal works with your team to understand the requirement and determine the right approach. Where standard configuration is enough, we configure it. Where it is not, we extend ERPNext with custom functionality built around your processes.

This can include:

  • Custom applications and related documentation (DocTypes)
  • Custom workflows and business logic
  • Server-side and client-side scripting
  • Custom reports and dashboards
  • Custom print formats
  • REST API and webhook integrations
  • Custom user interfaces and forms
  • Extensions to existing ERPNext functionality

What we do

  1. 01

    Understand the requirement

    We start with the business need rather than jumping straight into development. We work with your team to understand the process, the people involved, the information that needs to be captured, and what the system needs to do.

  2. 02

    Check what ERPNext already provides

    Not every requirement needs custom development. We first look at the standard ERPNext functionality and available configuration options so that custom code is used where it adds real value.

  3. 03

    Design the solution

    Where development is required, we determine how the functionality should fit into your existing ERPNext setup. This includes the data model, workflows, permissions, interfaces, and how the new functionality interacts with other parts of the system.

  4. 04

    Develop custom functionality

    We develop custom Frappe applications, DocTypes, scripts, reports, dashboards, print formats, and other functionality based on the agreed requirements.

  5. 05

    Integrate with other systems

    Where your process depends on another application, we can connect the custom functionality with existing systems through APIs, webhooks, or other appropriate integration methods.

  6. 06

    Test with your team

    Custom functionality needs to work in the context of the wider ERP system. We test the development and work with your users to verify that it supports the actual business process before deployment.

  7. 07

    Maintain and extend

    We use version control and maintainable development practices so that custom functionality can be managed as part of your ERPNext environment and updated as the platform evolves.

What you get

  • Custom Frappe applications and DocTypes
  • Custom workflows and business logic
  • Server-side and client-side scripting
  • Custom reports and dashboards
  • Custom print formats
  • REST API and webhook integrations
  • Custom forms and user interfaces
  • Version-controlled development
  • Testing and deployment support
  • Documentation where required

Things you may want to know

When do we need customization instead of configuration?

We first look at what can be achieved through standard ERPNext configuration. Custom development is considered when the requirement cannot be reasonably supported through the standard functionality or configuration options.

Can you customize an existing ERPNext implementation?

Yes. Techincglobal can assess an existing ERPNext setup, understand how it has been configured and customized, and develop or improve functionality where required.

Will customizations affect future ERPNext upgrades?

Custom development needs to be designed with upgrades in mind. Techincglobal develops custom functionality as maintainable Frappe applications rather than modifying the ERPNext core wherever possible. This helps keep custom functionality separate from the standard platform and makes future upgrades easier to manage.

Can you develop a completely new application?

Yes. Where a requirement goes beyond extending ERPNext, Techincglobal can develop custom Frappe applications and integrate them with the wider ERPNext environment.

Can custom functionality integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. Custom functionality can connect with other applications through REST APIs, webhooks, and other integration methods, depending on the systems involved.

Can you work with our existing developers?

Yes. We can work alongside your internal development team or other technology partners, depending on the scope and requirements.

Can you customize ERPNext for industry-specific processes?

Yes. Techincglobal can extend ERPNext to support processes that are specific to an industry or individual business, while keeping the standard ERPNext functionality where it already meets the requirement.
