About

Built for the operators that actually run companies.

Zinye is a managed ERP service for growing businesses. We took ERPNext — the open ERP behind tens of thousands of companies — and wrapped it in the hosting, compliance, integrations and support a modern finance team actually expects. So you can spend your energy on the business, not on the software that runs it.

Most ERP software was
designed for the last generation
of finance teams.

— Why we built Zinye
Why we exist

ERP shouldn't be a career-defining implementation.

The old enterprise software model — six-figure implementations, 12-month rollouts, a dedicated consultant on retainer — was built for an era when finance happened in a back office. Today's finance team is global, mobile, and short on patience. The tools haven't caught up. We're building the ones that have.

01

The open core wins.

ERPNext is genuinely deep — twenty years of community engineering across accounting, manufacturing, healthcare, retail. We bet on it because closed ERPs become prisons; open ones become platforms.

02

Hosting is the hard part.

Standing up your own ERPNext takes a weekend. Keeping it patched, backed up, monitored, scaling and compliant takes a team. We do that for you, in regions you choose, to standards your auditor will sign off on.

03

Compliance is local, not optional.

Every country has its tax authority, e-invoicing standard, payroll format and bank file. We track the regulators so you don't have to — and ship the connector the same week it goes live.

How we work

Six principles, non-negotiable.

These aren't aspirations. They're the criteria we use when we disagree about a feature, a price, a policy. If a decision conflicts with one of these, we don't ship it.

01
Calm software, not exciting software.
Every screen should reduce the load on the operator's brain — not add to it. We measure features by how much we can remove, not how much we add.
02
Your data is yours.
Full SQL, CSV or JSON export from the UI, any day, no negotiation. Standard ERPNext schema. We'd rather earn renewals than trap people.
03
One price. Every module.
Per-seat pricing, not per-module. Accounting, inventory, payroll and the rest come on every plan. ERP as a cable bill is a problem, not a feature.
04
Speak like a human. Reply like one too.
Plain language in the UI, plain language on the website, plain language in support. If we can't explain it in one sentence, we haven't figured it out yet.
05
Compliance is the floor, not a feature.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, encryption, backups, audit logs and MFA come in every plan. Security upgrades are something other vendors charge for; we treat them as the price of entry.
06
Operators over orchestras.
We hire people who've actually closed a month-end, run a payroll, audited an inventory. Domain experience beats credentials. Most of our team has been the customer.
A short history

How Zinye got here.

2024 · Q4
An idea in a spreadsheet.
A finance director, tired of stitching QuickBooks to a payroll script to an inventory spreadsheet, drafts the spec for what would become Zinye.
2025 · Q1
First tenant on managed ERPNext.
A friend's distribution business runs on our infrastructure for the first time. We learn what "managed" actually means at 2am during a power cut.
2025 · Q2
Multi-region hosting, EU + US.
Frankfurt and Virginia regions go live. First international customers sign up. SOC 2 Type I audit kicks off.
2025 · Q3
First e-invoicing connector ships.
Peppol Access Point certified. India IRN and Italy SDI follow within the quarter. The framework that makes the rest of the world easy is in place.
2025 · Q4
SOC 2 Type II. ISO 27001.
Both attestations land in the same quarter. Enterprise sales conversations get a lot shorter.
2026 · Q1
Singapore region. APAC live.
Marina Bay data centre online. APAC customers stop being routed through Frankfurt at 200ms ping. NRS e-invoicing for Nigerian customers ships the same quarter.
Today
Still early. Still listening.
We're a small team with a clear plan, growing customer by customer, building toward the version of ERP that should have existed all along.
The team

People who've been the customer.

Most of us came to building Zinye from running operations at mid-market companies — closing books, fixing payroll, untangling inventory. We know the job because we've had it.
