What is Frappe HR?

Frappe HR is erp software from Frappe Technologies, an Indian company headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra and has been building software since 2008. Open-source HR and payroll from Frappe.

ERP software unifies finance, inventory, production, purchase, sales and often HR into a single database. It is the highest-stakes purchase in this catalogue: implementation typically costs more than licensing, and a failed rollout is expensive to unwind.

A free plan is available, with paid plans for growing teams. Beyond erp software, Frappe HR also covers payroll software. Because it is built in India, GST, INR pricing and local support hours are native rather than bolted on.
