About

Built for the operators that actually run companies.

Zinye builds a connected suite of business software — ERP, CRM, HR, Helpdesk, BI, LMS, Chat and more — on one platform, one login and one customer record. We took the best open-source foundations (ERPNext, Frappe CRM, Frappe HR, Raven and the rest), forked and hardened them, and wrapped them in the hosting, compliance and human support a modern company actually deserves. Start with one product. The rest are ready when you need them.

Most business software was
designed to be sold, not
used. We're fixing that.

— 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.

Frappe, ERPNext, Raven — twenty years of community engineering across accounting, manufacturing, healthcare, retail and messaging. We bet on open foundations because closed software becomes a prison; open software becomes a platform you can build on forever.

02

A suite beats a stack.

Zoho proved it. Frappe proved it. Eight best-of-breed tools with eight contracts, eight integrations and eight support lines costs more — in money, in time, in reconciliation work — than one suite on one data layer. We're building that suite for the companies Zoho and Salesforce price out.

03

Hosting is the hard part.

Deploying an open-source product takes a weekend. Keeping it patched, backed up, monitored and up to date takes ongoing work. We do that for you, on dedicated EU infrastructure.

04

Compliance is local, not optional.

Every country has its tax authority, e-invoicing standard, payroll format and bank file spec. We track the regulators so you don't have to, starting with Nigeria's NRS e-invoicing mandate.

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 platform. Every product.
Every Zinye product runs on the same data layer — one customer record, one item master, one login. Add a product and it already knows your business. No integration project, no sync, no duplicated masters.
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.
Encryption in transit, managed backups, audit logs and MFA come in every plan. Security isn't an upsell. We're early, so we don't hold formal certifications (such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001) yet, and we'll say so plainly until we do.
06
Operators over orchestras.
We build for the people who close the month-end, run the payroll and file the returns, and we talk to them before we ship. Domain experience beats credentials.
A short history

How Zinye got here.

2024
Zinye Technologies registered.
Registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria. Managed ERPNext and Frappe hosting for growing businesses.
2025
The suite vision.
ERP becomes product one, not the whole company. CRM, People, Desk, Insights, Learn, Chat and Plan, all on the same open Frappe stack, join the roadmap.
2026
Nigeria NRS e-invoicing.
Connector-first e-invoicing for Nigerian businesses, routed through an NRS-accredited Access Point Provider partner, so companies can keep the books they already run.
Today
Still early. Still listening.
We're a small, bootstrapped team with a clear plan, growing customer by customer, building toward the version of ERP that should have existed all along.
