Why a Bengaluru team works for the UAE

The same working day, and no licence rent.

The UAE is an hour and a half behind India, so our working days overlap almost entirely. ERPNext and Frappe are built in India and are what our team works on every day. You pay for implementation and hosting, never per seat.
