Straight answers about ERPNext
Cost, timelines, taxes and what to expect.
Getting started
What is ERPNext?
ERPNext is a complete, open-source business management system. It covers accounting, sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, HR, projects and more, all in one database.
Is ERPNext really free?
The software is free and open-source, with no per-user or per-module licence fee. You pay for hosting and for expert implementation, customization and training.
Who is iREX?
iREX Software Solutions is an ERPNext implementation partner in Pakistan. We set up, customize, host and support ERPNext. We are independent and not part of Frappe Technologies.
Is ERPNext right for my business?
It suits businesses that want one connected system for accounts, stock, sales and more. It may not suit businesses needing a highly specialised industry system. We will tell you honestly in the free consultation.
How many users can we have?
There is no licence limit on users. Practical limits depend on your hosting plan. The PKR 8,000 managed hosting plan includes up to 5 users.
Cost and timeline
How much does iREX charge?
Managed hosting starts from PKR 8,000 per month. Implementation, customization and training are quoted separately after a free consultation.
How long does implementation take?
It depends on scope. A single-company project with core modules is typically 4 to 8 weeks. Larger projects take longer.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. The quote lists what is included. Changes to scope are agreed before work begins.

Customization and support
Can ERPNext be customized?

Will customizations break when we upgrade?
We build in an upgrade-safe way, and test on a staging copy first.
