ERPNext for
UK businesses.

Yes. Mith Tech implements ERPNext, Frappe CRM and the wider Frappe stack for UK businesses on a remote-first delivery model from our Bengaluru base, with on-site discovery in London on request. A typical UK engagement on a structured timeline, uses a small senior team on our side, and covers everything from initial scoping to go-live to ongoing support.

Yes. ERPNext handles UK VAT natively — configurable at 20% standard rate with 5% and 0% reduced rates, plus exempt and outside-scope classifications. For Making Tax Digital, the system generates the VAT return data in the format HMRC requires, with drill-down to every input and output tax line for audit-readiness. We configure the submission workflow with your chosen MTD-compatible software (Xero, Sage, or direct HMRC bridging) as part of the standard delivery.

ERPNext uses double-entry bookkeeping with chart of accounts configurable to UK GAAP. For FRS 102, the default chart covers the standard line items; for FRS 105 (micro-entity), we configure a simpler structure. Statutory accounts production is typically handled by your external accountant, but ERPNext produces the trial balance, P&L, and balance sheet at year-end in the format your accountant needs. We work alongside your existing finance team throughout.

Yes, with the right configuration. ERPNext's underlying Frappe framework provides role-based access, audit trails, and encryption suitable for financial-services operations. Mith Tech's fintech engagements — including Polemarch, our live capital-markets reference — have implemented ERPNext and custom Frappe apps for capital-markets workflows: KYC, wallet, portfolio, deals, and settlement. For FCA-regulated operations we work alongside your compliance team to map controls, retention policies, and reporting to the FCA's requirements.

Three reasons UK businesses choose Mith Tech: cost — a senior India-based team delivers the same ERPNext implementation for roughly 40–60% less than an equivalent UK consultancy, without cutting corners on seniority; time-zone overlap — the UK is 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of India, meaning a genuine second half of the day overlap for live collaboration; and depth — Frappe is an Indian-origin platform, and the deepest ERPNext expertise sits with India-based Frappe partners who work with it every day.

A typical UK mid-market implementation runs £6,000–25,000 as a one-time fee depending on module scope, integrations, and data migration. Ongoing hosting on AWS London (eu-west-2) runs £250–700 per month. AMC and support add £150–500 per month. There are no per-user licence fees because ERPNext is open source — you pay for implementation and infrastructure, not software rent. See the full ERPNext implementation cost guide for the breakdown methodology.

Mith Tech hosts UK clients' ERPNext on AWS London (eu-west-2) by default, keeping application data within the UK for the strictest interpretation of local data-residency expectations. Alternative hosting options include Frappe Cloud's UK region, Microsoft Azure UK South, and on-premises deployment on the client's own infrastructure. For clients under specific regulator conditions, we can deploy on a dedicated tenant in a client-nominated cloud region.

A structured timeline for a standard mid-market engagement covering accounts, inventory, purchasing, CRM, and one or two integrations. Faster is possible for lean scopes (a services firm on Accounts + Projects + Invoicing can go live in 4–6 weeks); slower is realistic for multi-entity, multi-country, or heavy-manufacturing deployments (12–16 weeks). We give a fixed-scope quote and timeline within 48 hours of receiving your requirements.
