Upgrading a steel manufacturer from ERPNext v12 to v16
A steel manufacturer stuck on an unsupported ERPNext v12 moved to v16 with manufacturing, HR & payroll — and modern dashboards for management.
The challenge
The company ran ERPNext v12, which no longer received security updates. Payroll was done in spreadsheets and production costing was estimated rather than measured.
Our solution
We rehearsed the upgrade path on staging, rebuilt customizations as an upgrade-safe app, and rolled out HRMS with shifts, attendance, holiday lists and salary structures alongside manufacturing.
The results
- Fully supported, secure ERPNext v16
- Payroll and attendance inside the ERP
- Production costing from actual job cards
