Key Benefits

ERPNext Compatible
Apps can extend ERPNext Doctypes, hook into workflows, or run as standalone Frappe sites.
What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Frappe app and an ERPNext module?
An ERPNext module is part of the ERPNext codebase. A Frappe app is a standalone installable package that can extend ERPNext or run independently on a Frappe site. We build custom Frappe apps so your code is separate from core ERPNext and survives upgrades.
Can Frappe apps work without ERPNext?
Yes. Frappe is a standalone full-stack web framework. You can build entire applications — CRMs, project management tools, inventory systems — on Frappe without installing ERPNext. Many companies use Frappe for custom business applications.
Can you publish our app on the Frappe Marketplace?
Yes. We handle code review, documentation, testing, and marketplace submission. We also advise on pricing strategy and support planning.
