ERPNext implementation consultant · Nairobi

I lead ERPNext projects from first requirement to go-live

Hands-on with POS, ERP and cloud systems since 2021, now focused on ERPNext. I work with business owners and delivery teams to turn how a business really runs into a system people adopt, and I own requirements, configuration, training, go-live and the support that follows.

How I work

One accountable lead, from the first workshop to life after go-live.

Five stages, one chain. Each ends with something tangible you can review, sign off and keep.

  1. 01

    Requirements

    I learn the operation before touching the system, so nothing is built on assumptions.

    You receive
    • Discovery questionnaire
    • Functional requirements document
    • Gap analysis
  2. 02

    Design

    Workflows, permissions and accounts are designed and shown before they are built.

    You receive
    • Workflow mockups
    • Role and permission matrix
    • Chart of accounts
  3. 03

    Build & test

    Configuration and data migration, checked against your real figures.

    You receive
    • Configured, tested system
    • Reconciled opening data
    • Branded print formats
  4. 04

    Training & go-live

    Each role is trained and assessed, and I lead the cutover so launch day is controlled.

    You receive
    • Role-based training
    • Competency assessment
    • Led cutover plan
  5. 05

    Post go-live care

    Real usage always surfaces refinements. I stay accountable for them.

    • Workflow and permission tuning
    • A named point of contact

Domain depth

I've worked the till, the stock room and the month-end close.

Before consulting, I ran the operations ERPNext now models, and trained in cloud and security alongside. That is why my designs start from controls and reconciliation, not just settings.

2023 – 2024
