600+ pull requests merged into Frappe core
Most Frappe developers configure ERPNext. Ours contribute to it. When you hire from Aerele, you're hiring someone who has merged pull requests into the same codebase your business runs on – ERPNext, Frappe Framework, HRMS, Payments, and Webshop. That's not a marketing claim. It's verifiable on GitHub.

There are thousands of Frappe developers. There are far fewer who have code merged into the framework itself. Here's why that difference matters for your project:
A developer who has submitted patches to Frappe's core knows the codebase at the source level. When something breaks – and it will – they don't just read the documentation. They read the code they've worked on. They know the internal implementation of the ORM, the permission system, the background job queue. That's the difference between hours of Googling and 20 minutes of tracing to the root cause.
Every pull request our developers submit goes through code review by Frappe's core maintainers before it gets merged. They write code that meets the quality bar of an open-source project used by thousands of companies worldwide. That discipline doesn't switch off when they work on your project. You get the same code quality – proper error handling, edge case coverage, clean separation of concerns.
Contributors see the roadmap from the inside. They know which features are being built, which APIs are being deprecated, and which patterns the framework is moving towards. Your customizations won't break on the next ERPNext update because the person writing them helped shape that update. This alone saves companies weeks of migration pain per major version.
When you hire a dedicated Frappe developer from Aerele, you're not getting a freelancer. You're getting access to a team of 30+ developers who collectively have 600+ merged PRs across ERPNext, Frappe, HRMS, Payments, E-commerce Integrations, and Webshop. If your developer hits a complex problem in HRMS payroll, there's someone on the team who has literally contributed to that module's source code.
The most expensive Frappe developer is the one whose customizations break every time you upgrade ERPNext. Our developers use the same patterns used in core development – hooks.py, override_whitelisted_methods, proper doctype inheritance, controller extensions. These patterns survive upgrades because they're the same patterns the framework is designed around.

Email us at hello@aerele.in with what you're building. Custom app? Integration? Performance issue? Migration? We'll assess whether we're the right fit – and if not, we'll tell you who is. No sales pitch, no discovery call theater.
Dedicated developer for ongoing work, or sprint for scoped projects. We'll recommend which model fits better based on your requirements. Both models include access to our full team's expertise – not just one person.
Your developer integrates with your workflow – your repo, your tools, your standup. They write code, get it reviewed, push to your codebase. We handle the engineering. You handle the product decisions.

Dedicated Resource (₹5,500–8,000/working day) for ongoing projects – minimum quarterly commitment, limited slots due to high demand. Development Sprint (₹1,50,000/sprint) for scoped 3-week cycles. All include full engineering team backing. Plus applicable taxes.
A Frappe developer configures and customizes ERPNext. A Frappe contributor has code merged into the actual Frappe framework source code. Aerele's team has 600+ pull requests merged into core repositories including ERPNext, Frappe Framework, HRMS, and Payments. Contributors debug faster, write cleaner code, and know the framework roadmap because they help build it.
Yes. For work under a few days, our Hourly model (₹2,500–3,500/hr) works well. For slightly larger scoped projects, the Development Sprint at ₹1,50,000 covers a full 3-week cycle. No minimum commitment beyond the engagement itself.
Yes, all engagements are remote. We're based in India (IST, UTC+5:30) and currently serve clients in India, Oman, UAE, and Germany. Your developer integrates directly with your team's communication tools – Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, or whatever you use. Daily standups or async updates, your choice.
We offer a 2-week trial period at the start of every dedicated resource engagement. If the developer isn't the right fit, we'll replace them with another team member. The minimum commitment is one quarter (3 months) – this gives enough time for the developer to build context in your codebase and deliver real value. Since you're hiring from a team of 30+, we have depth to match the right person to your project.
Our team has merged pull requests into 6 core Frappe ecosystem repositories: ERPNext (core ERP), Frappe Framework (the framework itself), HRMS (HR and payroll), Payments (payment gateways), Webshop (e-commerce), E-commerce Integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce). All contributions are public on GitHub.
No. Aerele is a core development team, not an implementation partner. We build custom apps, integrations, and product features on Frappe. For ERPNext implementation (go-live, data migration, user training), we recommend working with a certified Frappe implementation partner. We're happy to be the development team behind the scenes, working alongside your implementation partner.
Yes. Product companies like Stanch.io, AssureAI, Xavica Software, and Ziyana Software have hired us to build their products on Frappe from architecture to production. We handle the entire engineering – database design, API development, frontend, testing, deployment. The dedicated resource model works best for product development since it provides continuity and deep context.
Tell us what you're building. We'll tell you if we're the right fit – and if we're not, we'll say so. No sales pitch.
