Story of Our HR

As Frappe started growing in terms of team size, we set out in search of the perfect open-source HR and Payroll software that could meet all of our needs. While our search led us far and wide, we never found any “true” open-source product out there. Being the die-hard FOSS fans that we are, we then took it upon ourselves to create the very first one.

As dedicated users who are passionate about helping employees and perfecting the organizational structure of companies, we understood the pain of using mediocre HR products and wanted to create the first 100% open-source portal with a seamless UX and a sophisticated UI.

Thus, Frappe HR was born. Initially, it was a set of modules within ERPNext but version 14 onwards, as the modules became more mature, Frappe HR was created as a separate product. It is built on Frappe Framework which is a meta-data-driven framework that allows rapid application development.

The CRM module in ERPNext had its own challenges. It wasn’t built with sales-first functionality in mind, and the sales team found it lacking the flexibility and key features they needed to manage leads, track interactions, and move deals forward.

Instead of trying to fix a system that wasn’t designed for sales, we decided to build Frappe CRM from the ground up—a simple, flexible, and open-source CRM that gives sales team full control.”

Take it from our users

“We have been using the HR module for some years now and the growth with which it has matured is impressive. The UI and UX are very usable and human-friendly. Many things are provided out of the box with a customization option and being open source makes it even more easier to use.”

"I have been using this for several months for an organization with 50+ employees with automated attendance based on fingerprint reader based employee checkins. It's been awesome so far."

"It's my favourite HR software. I liked the simple UI, flexibility and extendability of the product. As business continuity is important for me, and they have the solution for that too, they provide the source code."
