This talk explores a faster, leaner approach to ERP implementation — the Onboarding Method. Rather than spending months on BRDs, FRDs, and process mapping before a single transaction is entered, the onboarding approach gets businesses live in weeks by focusing on essentials first and iterating from real usage. Drawing on a live case study of Purva Group (two manufacturing companies brought onto ERPNext in 300 hours), the session covers how to scope Phase 1 correctly, run data migration without developers, train users on real transactions, and make smarter Phase 2 decisions. Attendees will also learn when this approach is not the right fit.
