Have you used ERPNext as a System of Record / Backend in your business? How did it go?
To my great frustration, I am yet again at the point where ERPNext does everything I want for my business, just... ugly. And inefficient.
It really has it all: double-entry accounting, assets, HR, inventory, CRM, support/tickets, taxes, invoices, users, you name it. And it does everything well; or it's just flexible enough with its doctype architecture that you can make it do everything well (as in "good output", not as in "enjoyable process").
But, as I said, it's ugly. It's clunky. It's HUGE. the update/migration pattern is a hassle.
As I am here looking at Zammad, Invoice Ninja, Kimai, Nextcloud Appointments / EasyAppointments, astro/starlight, EspoCRM, I wonder: can I use all these apps as a front end, and have them sync with ERPNext, directly, through n8n, or with a manual sync button, and keep it working easily? Or, with the current era or AI, can I make a nice-looking frontend for all these features and use ERPNext as the database?
If you've done it, I want to know what worked well and what didn't, whether you stuck with it or abandoned it. If you've considered it but gave up, why? And in the end, did you have to use a paid monthly service (like Quickbooks) for something it didn't do?
