REAL SCREENS

Client identifiers removed. These are standard ERPNext screens plus our own weighbridge module, running on real Qatar installations.
03 — MODULES
What ERPNext covers
You do not have to run all of it. Most Qatar implementations start with accounting, stock and buying, then switch on manufacturing, HR or projects once the first modules are settled. See the full module guide →
Accounting & Finance
Multi-company, multi-currency ledgers with real-time P&L, balance sheet and cash flow. Bilingual tax invoices, cost centres and a chart of accounts structured for Qatari corporate tax reporting from the first entry.
Inventory & Warehouse
Live stock across every store, yard and site. Batch and serial tracking, landed-cost vouchers on imports, automated reorder levels and full traceability from purchase order to delivery note.
Manufacturing
Multi-level BOMs, production planning, work orders and job cards. Actual material consumption and machine time post straight to job costing, so shop-floor reality and the ledger finally agree.
HR & WPS Payroll
Employee records, attendance, leave, end-of-service gratuity and expense claims. Payroll produces a WPS-compliant salary file your HR team exports straight to the bank.
CRM & Sales
Leads, opportunities, quotations and sales orders in one pipeline. Every quote carries its margin, and the customer history your sales team needs sits on the same record as the invoice.
Projects & Contracting
Budgets, tasks, timesheets, subcontractor bills and progress billing per project. Margin is visible while the job is running rather than after handover.
Buying & Procurement
Material requests, supplier quotation comparison, purchase orders and receipts. Three-way matching between order, receipt and invoice before anything is paid.
Assets & Maintenance
Asset register with depreciation schedules, custody, maintenance plans and disposal. Plant, vehicles and equipment tracked against the ledger instead of a spreadsheet.
04 — WHY ERPNEXT
Open source ERP that fits how Qatar does business
ERPNext removes the licence tax that makes traditional ERP hard to justify for a mid-sized company, and it handles local requirements out of the box.
- ✓ No per-user licensing — add the whole warehouse team without the cost going up.
- ✓ Full source code ownership — your data and code stay yours, no vendor lock-in.
- ✓ Arabic & multi-currency — bilingual print formats and trading in QAR, USD and more.
- ✓ WPS-compliant payroll — salary files formatted for Qatar's Wage Protection System.
- ✓ Modular by design — run only the modules you need, switch on the rest later.
05 — BUILT FOR QATAR
The local requirements, handled properly
Generic ERP implementations fall over on the local detail. These four are configured as standard on every Qatar project we run.
WPS-compliant payroll
Qatar's Wage Protection System requires salaries to reach employees through the banking channel on a fixed schedule. We configure ERPNext payroll so the salary file comes out of the system in the format your bank accepts — employee IDs, QID numbers, IBANs and salary components structured correctly. Your HR team runs payroll and exports the file. No parallel spreadsheet.
Arabic and bilingual documents
ERPNext supports Arabic with a full right-to-left layout. We build your tax invoices, delivery notes, purchase orders, quotations and payslips as bilingual Arabic–English print formats. That is part of a standard Qatar setup, not an add-on, so your documents are correct from the day you go live.
Corporate tax and Dhareeba-ready books
Your chart of accounts, cost centres and reporting structure are set up so financial statements come out in the shape your tax filing needs. When returns are due, your finance team pulls the report out of ERPNext instead of rebuilding the year in Excel. The structure is also ready for VAT should Qatar introduce it.
Multi-company and multi-currency
Group structures with several trading licences run in one installation — separate books per entity, consolidated reporting across all of them, and inter-company transactions handled natively. Buy in USD or EUR, sell in QAR, and let the system carry the exchange differences.

IN-HOUSE PRODUCT
Weigh Scale System
Also known as a weight bridge system or weighbridge software.
Weighbridge software for Qatar, built as a native ERPNext integration. The indicator feeds weights straight into ERPNext — no re-keying, no paper ticket book.
- Automatic weight capture direct from the weighbridge indicator
- Gross, tare and net logged against vehicle and material

- Printable bilingual weighment slips and reconciliation reports
IN-HOUSE PRODUCT
CareOps — nursing agency management software
Running a nursing-services company means matching qualified staff to bookings every single day, covering absences at short notice, and making sure the hours worked are the hours invoiced. CareOps handles that whole cycle on one ERP core: enquiry and booking, day-by-day rostering, reliever cover, attendance, invoicing, payroll and document-expiry tracking.
Built by us, in daily production use at a live multi-branch nursing operation. See what CareOps does →
HR SUITE
Frappe HR — HR and payroll for Qatar employers
A complete, open-source HR system that runs on the same installation as your accounts. Attendance feeds payroll, payroll posts to the ledger, and the salary file comes out in the format your bank expects. Popular with contracting firms managing large labour headcounts and with schools running faculty payroll. See HR & WPS payroll →
For schools and training institutes we pair it with the education modules: student management, admissions, programmes, timetables, course schedules, assessment, fee management and a student portal.
Employee lifecycle
Onboarding, confirmation, transfers, promotions and exit as tracked stages — not an email trail.
Leave & attendance
Leave balances, applications and approvals with the holiday calendar built in. Attendance from biometric devices or check-in.
Shift management
Rosters, shift assignment and shift requests for operations that do not run nine to five.
Expense claims & advances
Staff claim expenses with photographed receipts. Outstanding advances auto-allocate against the claim.
Hiring
Staffing plans, job openings, a public job portal and applicant tracking through to offer.
Performance
Appraisal cycles, goals and feedback recorded against the employee, visible to the right approvers only.
Payroll & WPS
Salary structures, payroll runs, bilingual payslips emailed automatically, and a WPS salary file for your bank.
Mobile app
Check-ins, leave, claims, advances and salary slips from a phone, with workflow-aware approvals for managers.
08 — MIGRATION
Already on another system? We will move you across.
Most of our work is replacing something, not starting from nothing. We migrate customer and supplier masters, item lists, opening balances, stock positions and open documents — unpaid invoices, live purchase orders, pending deliveries. Your history comes with you and your operations keep running through the changeover. See how migration works →

ERPNext against a traditional licensed ERP
Where the difference actually shows up over a five-year horizon.
| Traditional licensed ERP | ERPNext | |
|---|---|---|
| User licences | Per named user, every year, rising with headcount | None. Add your whole warehouse team at no extra licence cost |
| Source code | Closed. You rent the software | Open. You own your data and the code that runs it |
| Customisation | Vendor change request, quoted and scheduled | Custom fields and workflows without code; Frappe apps where you need real logic |
| Time to go live | Typically several months | Four to ten weeks for most Qatar SMEs |
| Hosting | Vendor cloud, on vendor terms | Your server, Frappe Cloud, or a Qatar-hosted VPS — your choice |
| Exit | Data export in vendor format, if at all | Full database. You can walk away with everything |

10 — INSIGHTS
What open source ERP actually changes
Notes from ERPNext implementations across manufacturing, trading and contracting. Client names are withheld; the patterns are what matter, and they repeat. See the full success stories →
We also write up what we learn: practical ERPNext guides for Qatar businesses, and platform news and release notes.
MANUFACTURING
A steel fabricator left a tier-one ERP after twelve years
A pre-engineered buildings manufacturer with more than 1,500 staff had run a major licensed ERP for over a decade. Every change needed an external consultant and the licence bill kept climbing.
Read the detail
The team ran both systems in parallel for a few months, then moved purchasing, sales, accounts, manufacturing and projects onto ERPNext. What changed was not the feature list — it was who controlled the system. Customisations that previously meant a consultant visit and a quote became configuration their own staff could do. Reported saving on software licensing alone: around half a million dollars.
MANUFACTURING
One million items and 400,000 bills of material, made usable
An instrumentation manufacturer exporting to more than 90 countries could not get its own catalogue in front of its sales and production teams. Orders slipped as a result.
Read the detail
ERPNext went in module by module — stock, manufacturing and selling first, then CRM, buying and accounts. Quality inspection was added on finished goods, and make-to-order production planning replaced guesswork on delivery dates. Post-installation complaints fell as product quality became measurable rather than anecdotal.
TRADING & DISTRIBUTION
A Gulf medical equipment distributor moved 10,000 items off spreadsheets
A regional importer and distributor was running a 10,000-item catalogue with batch tracking through Excel and a 25-person back office buried in paperwork.
Read the detail
Inventory, warehouse management, procurement, CRM and accounting went live together. Old item codes were carried across in custom fields so nobody had to relearn the catalogue. Multi-currency accounting handled foreign supplier payments, and quotations and invoices started being raised on handheld devices in the field. Order-to-cash time dropped and inventory turnover improved.
CONTRACTING
A 14-entity industrial group finally got accurate project costing
A group running construction, real estate and trading entities had client billing errors, misleading project costs and no reliable view of profitability. Accounting, CRM and project management each lived in a different application.
Read the detail
The group evaluated more than twenty ERP products before settling on ERPNext, and implemented it largely themselves in about three weeks including training for twenty-plus users. Consolidating onto one system produced accurate accounting, a real-time profit and loss per entity, and the removal of several overlapping subscriptions.
MANUFACTURING
Fifteen percent more revenue from fixing quotations and stock
A door and window frame manufacturer with 300 staff and eight branches kept missing delivery dates on custom orders and could not measure operational cost.
Read the detail
CRM, procurement, inventory, accounts, assets and manufacturing were implemented together. Faster and more professional quotations improved conversion, while real-time material availability with automatic reorder points cut delays. The business reported a 15% rise in organic sales and a 4% reduction in raw material consumption.
ELECTRONICS
A circuit board manufacturer replaced a per-user licensed ERP
A PCB and assembly manufacturer operating across three countries had outgrown its licensed ERP. Headcount growth meant the per-user bill grew with it, and extending the system was neither cheap nor quick.
Read the detail
Developers were trained on the business processes first, which sped up the rollout considerably. Accounting, manufacturing, sales, purchasing, stock and projects went live, along with deep integrations into production machinery and label printing. Eliminating per-user licence fees saved roughly half a million dollars, and the saving grows with every new hire.

12 — FAQ
Questions we get asked before every project
-
How much does an ERPNext implementation cost in Qatar?
There is no licence fee, so the cost is implementation effort plus hosting. What moves the number is scope: how many modules, how much data has to be migrated, how much custom development and Arabic print work you need, and how many users we train. A focused accounting, stock and buying go-live for a small trading company is a very different project from a multi-entity manufacturer with weighbridge integration. We scope it properly and quote a fixed figure before you commit.
-
How long does it take to go live?
Four to ten weeks covers most Qatar SMEs. A straightforward finance and inventory rollout can be live inside a month. Multi-company groups, heavy customisation or several years of history to migrate push it further out. We agree the timeline at solution design stage, not after we have started.
-
Is there really no per-user licence fee?
Correct. ERPNext is open-source software released under the GNU GPLv3 licence. You pay for implementation, hosting and support — never for the right to add another user. This is the single biggest cost difference against a traditional ERP, and it grows as your headcount does.
-
Does ERPNext handle WPS payroll for Qatar?
Yes. We configure payroll so it produces a salary file in the format your bank accepts, with employee identifiers, QID details, IBANs and salary components structured correctly. Your HR team runs payroll inside ERPNext and exports the file. There is no separate spreadsheet step and no manual re-keying.
-
Can we get invoices and payslips in Arabic?
Yes. ERPNext supports Arabic with full right-to-left layout. We build bilingual Arabic–English print formats for tax invoices, delivery notes, purchase orders, quotations and payslips as part of a standard Qatar setup. No plugin and no extra development required.
-
Where is our data hosted?
Your choice. We deploy to Frappe Cloud, to a Qatar-hosted VPS, or onto your own server inside your premises. Because the software is open source, the database is yours either way — you can take a full backup at any time and move it elsewhere.
-
What happens after go-live?
We stay on under an annual maintenance contract: support for user issues and configuration questions, version upgrades, refresher training as your team changes, and performance tuning as your data grows. The people who configured your system are the people who answer the phone.
-
Can you migrate our data from Tally, QuickBooks or SAP?
Yes. We have moved businesses off Tally, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Odoo, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics and a range of custom legacy systems. Migration covers customer and supplier masters, item lists, opening balances, stock positions and open documents such as unpaid invoices and live purchase orders. It is part of standard implementation scope, not an extra.
-
Will ERPNext work for a company with several trading licences?
Yes. ERPNext runs multiple companies in one installation. Each entity keeps its own books and its own reporting, you can consolidate across all of them, and inter-company transactions are handled natively rather than through journal gymnastics.
-
Do you build custom features if ERPNext does not do something?
Yes — that is a large part of our work. We build Frappe apps, custom DocTypes and workflows, third-party integrations and Arabic print formats. Our Weigh Scale System is an in-house product built exactly this way, and it now runs in production against live weighbridges.
