Put people data under deliberate control.
Check local payroll, privacy, access and retention needs before moving employee records.
Check the reviewed edition, migration constraints and ongoing operating costs. The options below are starting points for a fit-gap assessment, not a universal ranking.
Frappe HR
Open-source human resources and payroll workflows built on Frappe.
ERPNext
Connect accounting, inventory, purchasing and operations in one open ERP.
Before you choose
Define the organisation size, peak usage and workflows that the system must support. Test a realistic data sample, permission model and integration before estimating delivery.
Migration and operating considerations
Map source fields, historical records, attachments and business rules. Plan a coexistence period and reconcile outputs before switching the authoritative system.
Assign an owner for upgrades, dependency patches, monitoring, backups and recovery tests. Hosting and support remain real costs.
Security and integration
Confirm standards-based identity where available, least privilege and audit requirements. Test the exact API and edition, handle integration failures explicitly, and protect secrets outside application code.
