Why MetaDesign

Frappe engineers for rapid business application delivery.

DocTypes, workflows, REST APIs — full-stack Python apps in weeks, not months.

Metadata-Driven Architecture

Define a DocType and Frappe auto-generates the database table, REST API, form UI, list view, and permissions — full CRUD in minutes, not days.

Workflow Engine

Built-in workflow states, transitions, and approval chains — automate complex business processes without writing custom state machines.

ERPNext Ecosystem

Frappe powers ERPNext, the most popular open-source ERP. We build custom Frappe apps that integrate seamlessly with ERPNext modules.

Hire expert Frappe developers for custom business applications, workflow automation, and ERPNext customisations. Metadata-driven architecture, DocTypes, and REST APIs for enterprise solutions.
MetaDesign Solutions has been delivering Frappe solutions since 2006, with 200+ projects across Fortune 500 enterprises, digital-native startups, and SMEs in the USA, Australia, and India.
Most Frappe teams are staffed within 1-2 weeks. We begin with a discovery phase, then scale the team based on your roadmap. Contact us for a free consultation and project estimate.
We offer dedicated teams, fixed-price projects, and time-and-material contracts. All engagement models include project management, quality assurance, regular demos, and transparent progress reporting.
We define complex data models entirely via the Frappe UI as DocTypes. The framework instantly generates the underlying MariaDB tables, REST API endpoints, and web forms, cutting development time by over 60%.
Yes, Frappe's architecture inherently supports strict site-based multi-tenancy. Our developers can architect a highly secure SaaS application where each tenant operates on isolated databases while sharing the core Frappe application codebase.
Frappe is a batteries-included "low-code" framework for developers. It includes built-in user management, role-based permissions, PDF generation, and background jobs, which would all require manual coding and third-party libraries in Django or Flask.
We utilize Frappe's native Workflow engine to define custom document states (e.g., Draft, Pending Approval, Approved) and transition rules based on strict user roles, triggering automated email alerts at every step.
Absolutely. We write custom Python controller logic utilizing the `frappe.integrations` framework to securely handle webhooks, tokenized payments, and automated invoice reconciliation with Stripe, PayPal, or Razorpay.
We utilize Frappe's built-in integration with Redis Queue (RQ). We offload heavy tasks (like mass email sending or complex data imports) to background workers using `frappe.enqueue`, keeping the frontend UI highly responsive.
