ERPNext partner in the UK for open-source ERP implementation
Implement ERPNext for UK manufacturers, distributors, project teams, and service companies with disciplined discovery, clean configuration, upgrade-safe customization, and a defined VAT and MTD integration path. We work from our primary office in London, with engineering in Ahmedabad and every customization built outside the ERPNext core.

What an ERPNext rollout in the United Kingdom has to get right
UK businesses need digital records and a controlled route from operational transactions to VAT reporting. ERPNext can become the operational and accounting backbone, while any HMRC submission route must use compatible software or an approved integration selected for the company’s filing process.
A UK rollout should connect operational detail to reliable accounting records while treating MTD filing as a verified integration requirement—not an assumed out-of-the-box feature.
Accounting and VAT
UK VAT records and the Making Tax Digital submission route are mapped separately. Direct HMRC filing is not assumed unless a compatible integration is selected and verified.

Implementation priorities in the United Kingdom
The design decisions we settle in the fit-gap blueprint, before any configuration starts.
VAT and MTD architecture
Map VAT codes, digital records, adjustments, return data, and the compatible software or bridging integration used for HMRC submissions.
Project and job costing
Connect quotations, contracts, purchasing, time, expenses, stock, billing, and margin reporting for project-led operations.
Sage or Xero migration
Plan chart-of-accounts mapping, customers, suppliers, open items, tax balances, bank positions, and the level of transaction history to retain.
Data protection and access
Define roles, permissions, audit trail, retention, hosting, and integration access around the personal and commercial data processed in ERPNext.

Questions about ERPNext in the United Kingdom
Does ERPNext submit UK VAT returns directly to HMRC?
Do not assume direct submission as a standard capability. UK VAT returns must be submitted through compatible software. During discovery, we confirm the required digital records and select an appropriate HMRC-compatible or bridging integration for the company’s process.
Do you have an office in the United Kingdom?
Yes. Our primary office is at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London. Engineering is done at our Ahmedabad engineering centre.
Can ERPNext replace Sage, QuickBooks, and Excel?
ERPNext can replace many Sage, QuickBooks, and spreadsheet workflows after accounts, VAT codes, opening positions, stock, open documents, and reporting are reconciled. HMRC submissions require compatible software or an approved integration.
How do you handle accounting and VAT in the United Kingdom?
UK VAT records and the Making Tax Digital submission route are mapped separately. Direct HMRC filing is not assumed unless a compatible integration is selected and verified. Tax and statutory requirements are confirmed with your finance team and advisers before configuration.
How is an ERPNext project in the United Kingdom priced?
We quote after a discovery call and the fit-gap blueprint, so the price reflects your modules, users, data, integrations and customization. Hosting is billed separately.
How long does an ERPNext implementation take?
It depends on modules, data quality, integrations and how quickly your team completes UAT. Every project gets a dated phase plan after the fit-gap blueprint. Our manufacturing clients PFive Bags and Shimnit India went live in four and six months.
Do you customize ERPNext for local requirements?
Yes, where standard ERPNext does not cover a requirement. Reports, workflows, integrations, print formats, validations and portals are built as separate custom apps, outside the ERPNext core, so upgrades stay possible.
What support do you provide after go-live?
A hypercare period follows go-live. After that, support moves to an AMC hour or ticket pack handled through Midocean Helpdesk, Monday to Friday, 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM IST. Development is estimated separately, and a response-time SLA applies only when agreed in writing.
