ERPNext Implementation Partner in Birmingham
Birmingham has made things for two centuries and still supplies the automotive industry with pressings, castings, tooling and machined parts. Margins here live in scrap rates, die life and knowing the true cost of a job before it ships. Sigzen implements ERPNext for Birmingham manufacturers so routings, scrap by reason, job margin and Making Tax Digital VAT submission all run from one system.

How We Implement
The same implementation approach, wherever you are
Sigzen maps how your operation actually runs before configuring anything, sets the system up to match that flow, migrates your data after verification, tests with your own recent orders, trains each role on their daily screens, and stays with you through the first month-end close.

Good to Know
Frequently asked questions
Does ERPNext support Making Tax Digital for VAT?
Yes, with configuration. MTD requires VAT records to be kept digitally and returns submitted through software rather than typed into the HMRC portal. Sigzen configures ERPNext's VAT handling and the MTD submission route during implementation so returns come from the same records that hold your invoices.
Can ERPNext track die life and scrap for a Birmingham pressing shop?
Yes. Dies accumulate hit counts from actual production, maintenance is scheduled against those counts, and scrap is recorded by reason at the press, which is where pressing margin is genuinely won or lost.
Will ERPNext be ready for the 2029 UK e-invoicing mandate?
Electronic invoicing becomes mandatory for VAT invoices in April 2029, with HMRC's full implementation plan due in the 2026 Budget and PINT UK on Peppol the expected format. ERPNext already produces structured invoice data and supports Peppol-family formats through the European e-invoice integration, so Sigzen will configure the UK route once HMRC publishes the technical specification.
Can ERPNext replace Sage or Xero for a manufacturer?
Yes, and it is the usual starting point. ERPNext covers the accounting those systems handled and adds quoting, purchasing, works orders, stock and job costing in the same platform, with your existing data migrated during implementation.
How does a Birmingham company work with an implementation partner in India?
India runs four and a half to five and a half hours ahead of UK time, so Sigzen's team covers your full working day. Implementation calls, training and support happen live in your hours, and sessions are recorded for anyone who could not attend.
