ERPNext Implementation & Support Across Europe
Europe's manufacturers are being pushed into ERP decisions by law. France requires every company to receive electronic invoices from September 2026, Poland's KSeF has covered all B2B invoicing since April 2026, Germany's issuing obligation starts in January 2027, and Italy and Spain already run mandatory regimes. Sigzen, a certified ERPNext and Frappe partner, implements ERPNext with each country's e-invoicing route configured, hosting wherever you choose inside the EU, and open-source licensing that fits a manufacturer of thirty to three hundred people.

Why Sigzen
Why European manufacturers work with Sigzen on ERPNext
European SMB manufacturers sit between ERP priced for corporations and accounting software that stops at the office door. ERPNext closes that gap, and Sigzen, a certified ERPNext and Frappe partner, implements it with each country's compliance route configured and a team working inside the European day.
Each country's e-invoicing route configured
XRechnung and ZUGFeRD in Germany, SdI and FatturaPA in Italy, Factur-X and your partner platform in France, Verifactu and TicketBAI in Spain, KSeF in Poland. Sigzen configures the route that applies to you and tests it before live invoices depend on it.
Your data stays in the EU if you want it to
ERPNext can be self-hosted on your own servers or with an EU hosting provider of your choice, so GDPR data-residency questions have a simple answer and no vendor holds your production data behind a subscription.
No per-user licence fees
ERPNext is open source. Software cost stays fixed as headcount grows, which for a manufacturer of thirty to three hundred people is often the difference between an ERP project happening and being shelved.
Built for the shop floor
Work orders, routings, operation-wise costing, quality checks and quoting from real bills of materials are core capabilities. Estimators quote from what similar jobs actually cost, and margin per order is visible while the order runs.
Audit-ready by default
Whether you hold ISO 9001, IATF 16949 or EN 9100, the traceability, inspection, calibration and corrective-action records auditors examine are produced by daily work rather than assembled beforehand.
Working hours that overlap yours
India runs three and a half to four and a half hours ahead of Central European Time, so Sigzen's team covers your entire working day. Implementation is remote with on-site visits where a project needs them.

How We Implement
How an ERPNext implementation runs across Europe
European manufacturers rarely have people to spare for a two-year ERP programme, and most are working to a compliance deadline as well. Sigzen's approach puts a working system into a small team's hands quickly, with the country's invoicing route configured early rather than bolted on at the end.
- 1
Discovery in your working hours
Sigzen maps how your plant actually runs: quoting, purchasing, the route a part takes through the shop, inspection points, dispatch and invoicing. India sits three and a half to four and a half hours ahead of Central European Time, so these sessions run inside your day rather than at either side's inconvenience.
- 2
Confirm the compliance route first
Which mandate applies to you, and by when, is settled before configuration begins: XRechnung or ZUGFeRD in Germany, SdI in Italy, Factur-X and a partner platform in France, Verifactu or TicketBAI in Spain, KSeF in Poland. Retrofitting this after go-live is where European ERP projects lose months.
- 3
Configure the shop floor
Bills of materials, routings, work orders, operation-wise costing and quality checkpoints are set up to mirror the mapped flow, with scrap and rework captured where material is actually lost.
- 4
Migrate data cleanly
Customers, suppliers, articles, bills of materials, open orders and balances move across after verification and de-duplication, with historical job costs where they exist, because that history is what makes future quoting accurate.
- 5
Test the invoicing route and your own orders
Recent real orders run end to end before go-live, and test invoices clear the national platform or partner network in its test environment before a single live document depends on the setup.
- 6
Train by role, recorded
Estimators, buyers, shop supervisors, quality and accounting each learn their daily screens on your own data. ERPNext's interface is available in German, Italian, French, Spanish and Polish, so staff work in their own language even though project sessions run in English.
- 7
Go live, then keep improving
Sigzen supports the first weeks live during your working day, including the first month-end close and the first compliant invoice run. After stabilisation the work turns to the reports owners run on: margin per order, on-time delivery, scrap by reason.
Good to Know
Frequently asked questions
Which European countries does Sigzen serve?
Sigzen implements ERPNext for manufacturers in Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Poland, with dedicated pages for the main industrial regions in each. Delivery is remote with sessions inside your working day and on-site visits where a project requires them.
Is ERPNext compliant with European e-invoicing mandates?
ERPNext produces the required document formats and Sigzen configures the transmission route for your country: XRechnung and ZUGFeRD for Germany, SdI for Italy, Factur-X and a partner platform for France, Verifactu and TicketBAI for Spain, and KSeF for Poland. National platform connections are implementation work rather than something ERPNext ships pre-connected, so this is set up and tested as part of your project.
Where will our data be stored?
Wherever you decide. ERPNext can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure or with an EU hosting provider you choose, which keeps GDPR data-residency straightforward.
What does ERPNext cost compared with European ERP vendors?
ERPNext is open source with no per-user licence fees, so cost sits in implementation and hosting rather than in seats renewed each year. Most mid-size manufacturers find the first-year total lands well below proprietary quotes, with no seat renewal in year two.
Do you work in local languages?
Sigzen's team works in English, and ERPNext's interface supports German, Italian, French, Spanish and Polish so your staff use the system in their own language. Project communication is in English.
How long does an ERPNext implementation take?
Accounting, stock and order management typically go live within weeks, with production, quality and the e-invoicing route phased next. Sigzen commits to a schedule after mapping your operation rather than before.
