The pain point
Levene Energy Group had already implemented ERPNext. The group engaged us to independently review the system's efficiency, walk through the key modules, identify observations and recommend improvements.
- The group needed an independent view of whether the implementation was operating as intended.
- Procurement, expense, finance and production controls had gaps that could be bypassed.
- Payments were processed outside ERPNext, creating visibility and completeness risk.
- Budgeting, asset management and HR & payroll were not implemented; cost centres were not in use.
- Reporting needed to be tailored to the group's operating model.
Our independent assessment
We reviewed the live ERPNext system across procurement and vendor management, employee advances and expense claims, finance and payment processing, inventory and production, sales and CRM, and reporting.
What we proposed
We delivered an independent review report with evidence-based findings and a prioritized set of recommendations across controls, process, reporting and missing modules.
Server-side validations, workflow enforcement, permission reviews and mandatory-field checks.
Payments inside ERPNext, withholding-tax timing, duplicate prevention and FX accounting.
Vendor validation, supplier price lists, RFQ/PO approvals and minimum-quotation rules.
Sales-order linkage, quantity validation, inspection gates, QC and work-order ageing.
Sales, profitability, audit, manufacturing and future-ready reports tailored to the group.
Budgeting with cost centres, asset management and HR & payroll.
How it resolved the pain
The group received a single, evidence-based view of the implementation, the control gaps and a prioritized remediation roadmap.
- Key modules were walked through and documented.
- Control gaps were identified with practical recommendations.
- Missing modules and reporting needs were mapped.
- The group had a clear sequence for remediation.
Benefits generated
The review gave Levene an independent baseline of the ERPNext implementation and a prioritized plan to strengthen controls, reporting and the modules the group still needed.
Independent review conducted in March 2025. The report contains findings and recommendations; implementation of the recommendations is not claimed.
