ERPNext for your industry
ERPNext is a general-purpose ERP. What changes from one industry to another is the process: how things are made, bought, stored, sold and serviced. These are the industries where we can tell you in detail how it fits.
Manufacturing
We have helped manufacturing SMEs adopt ERPNext. Its manufacturing module connects production to stock, buying and costing, so a work order, the material it consumes and its cost are records in one system.

- Work orders and job cards, from material issue to finished goods
- Production planning from sales orders and material requests
- Subcontracting, with material sent to and received from job workers
- Quality inspections, batches and serial numbers

Where businesses usually customize
- Quality inspection templates and shop-floor print formats
- Fields and approvals on work orders
