ERPNext

With over 37,800 GitHub stars and active development since its first release in 2008, ERPNext is the most-starred open-source ERP system — delivering accounting, inventory management, manufacturing, CRM, project tracking, asset management, HR, and point-of-sale capabilities through a unified web interface built on the Frappe Framework's metadata-driven architecture. The accounting module handles multi-company consolidation, multi-currency transactions, tax templates for GST and VAT, bank reconciliation, and automated journal entries with real-time profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow reporting. Manufacturing covers production planning with multi-level bill of materials, work order scheduling, capacity planning, subcontracting, and quality inspection at each production stage. Inventory tracks stock across multiple warehouses with batch and serial number tracing, automatic reorder levels, landed cost calculations, and perpetual inventory valuation using FIFO or moving average methods. The CRM module manages leads, opportunities, and customer communication with email integration, while project management tracks tasks, timesheets, and Gantt-based scheduling with budget controls. Custom applications extend functionality through the Frappe ecosystem without forking the core codebase, and the REST API enables integration with payment gateways, shipping providers, and third-party services. Deployable via Docker Compose or the bench CLI tool with MariaDB and Redis. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
