Infrastructure, integration and operations

ERPNext as part of your infrastructure

We do more than provide an application. WZ-IT designs the technical architecture, integrates network and identity, operates the agreed scope and develops integrations when the standard product is not enough.

Architecture and migration

Sizing, target environment, data transfer, cutover and recovery are resolved before production operations.

  • On-Premise

    In your data center: Installation on bare-metal, VM or Docker · Integration with existing Active Directory/LDAP

  • Cloud Installation

    AWS, Azure, Hetzner & more: Installation on AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner · Terraform/IaC setup (optional) · Kubernetes or Docker Compose · Capacity and scaling design

  • Enterprise Setup

    Advanced architecture after technical and licence assessment: HA and recovery design where supported by the application and edition · Logging according to feature set and edition · Custom security policies

Network and identity

SSO, secure access, internal systems and existing security components are integrated appropriately.

  • VPN Access

    WireGuard, NetBird, Tailscale, Headscale, OpenVPN, Cloudflare Tunnel · Easy client setup for all devices

  • SSO Integration

    Directly or through an upstream identity layer

  • Multi-Factor Auth

    Depends on application, edition and identity provider

  • Firewall & Hardening

    Fail2Ban, Rate Limiting, IP Whitelisting

Monitoring and service level

Updates, backups, technical monitoring and response paths follow a transparent operational scope.

  • 24/7 proactive monitoring

  • Updates and patches

    CVE and security-advisory monitoring for the operating system and managed application, regular updates, and priority deployment of available patches for critical vulnerabilities

  • Daily backup with 7-day retention

  • Personal technical contact

Integration and development

APIs, automation and custom extensions can be delivered beyond basic deployment.

  • Server Scripts & Client Scripts

    For logic adjustments, we use Server Scripts (Python) to perform validations or calculations in the backend, and Client Scripts (JS) for dynamic UI behavior.

  • Document Hooks

    We hook into the document lifecycle (Before Save, On Submit). This allows us, for example, to automatically create external shipping orders upon order receipt.

  • Custom Frappe Apps

    We separate custom code from the core and package changes in a dedicated app. This reduces update conflicts; version upgrades are still tested in staging first.

Full-service installation with no hidden costs

What the ERPNext setup includes

  • Complete installation & configuration
  • SSL certificate & reverse proxy setup
  • Backup strategy & disaster recovery
  • Performance optimization & tuning
  • Security hardening following OWASP
  • Monitoring & logging setup
  • Documentation & best practices
  • Administrator training (remote)
  • 30 days email support included
  • Dedicated contact person
  • Optional integration: LDAP/AD, SSO, MFA
  • Update strategy & patch management setup

The exact scope depends on the application, edition, infrastructure and criticality. Vendor licences and non-standard components are quoted separately.

Concrete Use Cases

ERPNext Development & Integration

ERPNext is based on Frappe, a brilliant metadata-driven framework. We use this for quick adjustments but don't shy away from developing complex business apps as standalone Frappe apps.

Industry-Specific DocTypes

Problem

A laboratory needs data fields (sample ID, temperature) that do not exist in any standard ERP.

Solution

Creation of Custom DocTypes incl. relations and logic. These behave like native ERP objects (searchable, filterable, API-ready).

External API Integration

Problem

Data from an external fleet management system must be available in ERPNext for billing.

Solution

A scheduled job (Python) regularly polls the external API, maps the data, and automatically creates 'Delivery Trips' in ERPNext.

Jinja Print Formats

Problem

Delivery notes must contain barcodes for warehouse scanners and have a specific layout.

Solution

Development of HTML/Jinja templates that dynamically generate barcodes and conditionally format data (e.g., hazardous material warnings).

Hosting & operations

How much does hosting for ERPNext cost?

Target architecture

Integrate ERPNext into your infrastructure with clear controls

A business application becomes a resilient part of the process landscape only when data flows, roles, communication paths and interfaces are clearly defined.

Teams and business processes

Employees, customers, partners and automated processes use defined roles and entry points.

Secure access

TLS, firewall rules, reverse proxies or private network paths are designed around the platform's exposure.

Identity and permissions

Local accounts, SSO, directories, service accounts and emergency access are connected through clear roles.

ERPNext platform

Business features, workflows, roles and configuration are deployed reproducibly and kept up to date.

Database and files

Business data, attachments, retention, export and consistent backups.

Communication services

Email, documents, notifications and optional background services.

APIs and business systems

Controlled connections to CRM, ERP, directories, payment or third-party systems.

The diagram is a resilient target model. Its implementation depends on edition, data flows, load, availability objectives and existing infrastructure.

Client feedback and projects worldwide

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.

WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.
