Communication Protocols

Clear communication is essential for a successful ERPNext implementation project. We follow a structured communication and support process to ensure transparency, faster issue resolution, and smooth collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.

Response Times & Support SLAs

We follow defined ERPNext support SLAs based on issue priority levels to ensure timely responses and minimal business disruption.

These response times apply to tickets, emails, and project communication channels. For urgent ERPNext production support issues, customers can use emergency escalation channels.

Escalation Process

  • Send a follow-up through email or raise a ticket on the helpdesk.
  • If there is no response within 24 hours, escalate to the next level.

Why it matters: This escalation process helps maintain accountability, transparency, and quick issue resolution. You're never left without a path to a decision-maker.

Async vs Sync Communication Guidelines

To improve efficiency during ERPNext implementation and support projects, we follow a balanced communication approach.

Communication TypeBest Used ForCommunication Channels
Async CommunicationStatus updates, bug reporting, documentation, non-urgent questionsHelpdesk, Email and WhatsApp
Sync CommunicationCritical issues, escalations, workflow discussions, UAT reviewsPhone calls, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams

Communication Best Practices

  • Use async communication for non-urgent updates and documented discussions.
  • Use sync communication for urgent or complex discussions requiring immediate clarification.
  • Share screenshots, recordings, or detailed descriptions while reporting ERPNext issues.
  • Keep approvals and project discussions within the official project communication email thread.

Following these ERPNext communication and support best practices helps improve project transparency, accountability, and implementation success.
