What is ERPNext?

ERPNext is a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning system that integrates every aspect of your business—from inventory and production planning to sales and accounting. For manufacturers, it offers a dedicated Manufacturing module that centralizes your production workflows, helping you run lean and scale faster.

Benefits of ERPNext for Manufacturing

1. Real-Time Production Planning

With ERPNext, you can create BOMs (Bill of Materials), manage Work Orders, and track Production Schedules in real time. This ensures that raw materials, machines, and manpower are efficiently aligned to meet delivery deadlines.

2. Inventory and Raw Material Control

No more stock-outs or overstocking. ERPNext gives you real-time inventory visibility, automated reorder levels, and material requirements planning (MRP) tools to ensure optimal resource use.

3. Cost Tracking and Profitability

Track production costs down to the last naira—from raw materials and labour to overheads. ERPNext’s Job Costing and Production Analytics features help you identify areas to cut waste and boost profits.

4. Integrated Quality Checks

Maintain product quality with built-in quality inspection templates and defect tracking. Set up checkpoints at every stage—raw material intake, in-process, and final inspection—to ensure your standards never drop.

5. Scalable and Cloud-Based

ERPNext is cloud-ready and mobile-accessible. Whether you’re operating in Ikeja, Onitsha, or Port Harcourt, your team can collaborate and manage operations from anywhere.
