Why do companies choose us over
other Frappe service providers?

Because there's a difference between teams that use ERPNext and teams that contribute to it.

The proof

We work where the framework lives

Our team doesn't just file issues – we submit fixes, build features, and get them merged upstream. The people working on your project are the same ones improving the framework for everyone.

The depth

800+ contributions across the ecosystem

Bug fixes, features, and performance improvements – merged upstream. When we debug your issue, we're often looking at code we contributed or reviewed.

The results

8-hour jobs → under a minute

We don't just write code – we make existing code faster. Deep profiling, query optimization, architectural refactoring. We've turned day-long batch processes into sub-minute operations.

The integrity

We help you outgrow us

We don't build lock-in. We recommend you build an internal team alongside our engagement. Most of our clients do – and they still come back for the hard problems.

What we do

Four ways to work with us

Product Engineering

Product companies hire us to build their entire product on Frappe. We've been the engineering team behind Stanch.io, AssureAI, Xavica Software, and Ziyana Software – from architecture to production.

Integrations & Automation

Bank APIs (Indian banks), warehouse robotics, Medusa e-commerce, Telegram/WhatsApp bots, eSignature, E-Way Bill. If it needs to talk to ERPNext, we've probably already built the bridge.

Custom App Development

Frappe framework apps built for your business logic. Jewellery manufacturing, real estate EMI tracking, garment production – we build domain-specific solutions that scale.

Code Review & Performance

Inherited a slow ERPNext? We profile, optimize, and refactor. We've taken 8-hour batch jobs to under a minute. Query tuning, architecture fixes, the problems other vendors can't diagnose.

Products

Software we build and run

Tools we built from our own work in the Frappe ecosystem, by the same engineers who contribute upstream.

Our team are active contributors to the Frappe ecosystem with 800+ pull requests merged across ecosystem repositories including ERPNext, Frappe Framework, HRMS, and Payments. When you hire an Aerele developer, you're hiring someone who contributes to the framework your business runs on – not just someone who configures it.

How much does it cost to hire a Frappe developer from Aerele?

Three models: Hourly at ₹3,000–4,000/hour for quick fixes and small features (subject to team availability). Dedicated Developer at ₹7,000–10,500/working day for ongoing development – minimum quarterly commitment, limited slots available due to high demand. Development Sprint at ₹1,50,000/sprint (2 weeks dev + 1 week implementation), scalable to 2x or 3x. All models include backing from our full engineering team.

Does Aerele do ERPNext implementations?

No. Aerele is a core development team, not an implementation partner. We specialize in custom app development, integrations (bank APIs, warehouse robotics, e-commerce), product engineering on Frappe, and code review and performance optimization. For implementations, we recommend working with a certified Frappe partner alongside our development team.

What open-source apps has Aerele built?

We maintain several open-source Frappe apps: india-banking (12+ Indian bank integrations – HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, SBI, Citi, HSBC, and more – under Frappe's Incubation Program), pwa-builder (turn Frappe sites into PWA mobile apps), medusa_integration (Medusa e-commerce ↔ ERPNext), and emSigner (electronic signatures for Frappe doctypes). All available on GitHub.

Can Aerele build my product on the Frappe framework?

Yes. Product companies hire us to build their entire product on Frappe – from architecture to production. We've been the engineering team behind products like Stanch.io, AssureAI, Xavica Software, and Ziyana Software. Our sprint model works well for product development with iterative delivery cycles.

Which countries does Aerele work with?

We're based in Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, India and work with clients across India, Oman (Alfarsi National Enterprises), UAE, and Germany (Hotset GmbH). All engagement is remote – our developers integrate directly with your team's workflow.
