孟买的一位创始人受够了给 SAP 送钱。
于是他在 2011 年手写了一套自己的 ERP。
15 年后，这套 ERP 已经为数千家公司处理会计、库存、人力资源、工资、制造、CRM 和项目管理。
它叫 ERPNext。
完全免费。GPL-3.0 协议。36,178 stars。今天刚更新。
这笔账算下来简直像在“抢钱”：
SAP S/4HANA 公有云每个高级用户每月要 200 到 300 美元。
NetSuite 每月 999 美元起，外加每个用户 129 到 199 美元。
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 每个用户每月 80 到 110 美元。
一个 50 用户的 NetSuite 订单，一年授权费就要 7.74 万美元，还没算 7.5 万到 12.5 万美元的实施费。
一个 500 用户的 SAP RISE 合同，每年在 80 万到 120 万美元之间。
ERPNext 涵盖了所有模块：会计、库存、工资、制造、CRM、项目、销售、采购、资产。
SAP 实施需要 6 到 18 个月。
ERPNext 只需要一条 Docker 命令，几分钟搞定。
Rushabh Mehta 当初是因为自家生意用不起 SAP 才搞了这个。他基于 Frappe 开发了它，这是一个 MIT 协议的 Python 框架。目前有 278 位贡献者，11,873 个 forks。上周刚发布了 v16.25.0。
整个技术栈都是你的。自托管、Fork、去品牌化、直接交付给客户，随你便。
那些世界 500 强花几百万美元买的 ERP，现在就躺在公共仓库里，由孟买的一个小哥编写，你今晚花 5 美元租个 VPS 就能跑起来。

A founder in Mumbai got tired of paying SAP.
So in 2011 he wrote his own ERP.
15 years later, that ERP runs accounting, inventory, HR, payroll, manufacturing, CRM, and projects for thousands of companies.
It is called ERPNext.
It is free. GPL-3.0. 36,178 stars. Pushed today.
The math is the part that feels illegal.
SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud lists at $200 to $300 per Advanced user per month.
NetSuite starts at $999 a month plus $129 to $199 per user.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is $80 to $110 per user per month.
A 50-user NetSuite deal lands around $77,400 a year in licenses plus $75k to $125k in implementation.
A 500-user SAP RISE contract sits between $800k and $1.2M a year.
ERPNext does the same modules. Accounting. Inventory. Payroll. Manufacturing. CRM. Projects. Sales. Purchase. Assets.
SAP implementations take 6 to 18 months.
ERPNext is one docker command. Minutes.
Rushabh Mehta started it because he could not afford SAP for his family business. He built it on Frappe, the MIT-licensed Python framework that powers it. 278 contributors. 11,873 forks. v16.25.0 shipped last week.
The whole stack is yours. Self-host it. Fork it. Strip the branding. Ship it to a client.
The ERP every Fortune 500 pays millions for is sitting in a public repo, written by a guy in Mumbai, and you can run it on a $5 VPS tonight.
