ERPNext, at desktop speed.

NextERP is a desktop app for ERPNext. Lists and search answer instantly from a copy kept on your computer, while every invoice, payment and stock entry is saved straight to your own ERPNext site, with your own permissions.

Everything you do in ERPNext, without the wait

NextERP connects to an ERPNext site you already have (version 15 or 16). The site stays in charge: the app reads from its local copy and sends every change to the site, where ERPNext checks it as usual.

Instant lists and search

Customers, items and invoices open in milliseconds from a copy on your computer, kept in sync every few minutes and after every save.

Your site, your permissions

Each person signs in to your ERPNext site with their own account. The app never posts from its copy and never sees what ERPNext would not show you.

Keeps working offline

When the connection drops you can still read everything you had, and keep drafts on the computer. They go to the site when you're back online.

Point of sale

A till for the counter: scan barcodes, park sales, take cash, card or M-PESA, and print receipts.

ESG built in

Greenhouse gas figures from your own purchases and fuel use, with a GRI 305 disclosure ready to share.

Your language, your tax

Every language your ERPNext site has enabled. In Kenya, invoices signed by KRA eTIMS with the QR code on the receipt.

Download

Free for any use. Every installer is built from the public source code by GitHub Actions.

Latest release: see GitHub releases.

Windows

Or the .msi package, for installing across an organisation.

macOS

One universal app for every Mac.

Linux

The AppImage runs on most distributions; .deb for Debian and Ubuntu, .rpm for Fedora and openSUSE.

Check a download: compare its SHA-256 (shown under each file) with sha256sum <file>, or Get-FileHash <file> on Windows. Older versions are on GitHub releases.

Getting started

  1. Install the app for your computer from the list above.
  2. Have an ERPNext site. Your site needs the open-source nexterp app installed next to ERPNext (and ghg for the ESG pages). No site yet? The app can create one for you on Nergaa Cloud.
  3. Sign in with your site's address, your email and your password. The first sync takes a minute; after that everything is instant.

Install and uninstall

Windows

Run the installer and follow the steps. To uninstall: Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find the app, then Uninstall. Local data lives in %APPDATA%\com.nexterp.desktop.

macOS

Open the .dmg and drag the app into Applications. To uninstall, drag it from Applications to the Bin. Its local copy of your data is in ~/Library/Application Support/com.nexterp.desktop; delete that folder too to remove it.

Linux

AppImage: make it executable and run it; to uninstall, delete the file. .deb: sudo apt install ./file.deb, remove with sudo apt remove next-erp. .rpm: sudo dnf install ./file.rpm, remove with sudo dnf remove next-erp. Local data lives in ~/.local/share/com.nexterp.desktop.

The app keeps its copy of your site's records in its data folder until another person signs in on the same computer, when it is cleared. To remove it yourself, delete the data folder after uninstalling.
