The 60-day trial, and what it became
June 30, 2026 · PenDraco
How the 60-day ERPNext trial de-risked early engagements, and why its promise of real work that you keep now lives in the fixed-fee Forward Deploy Sprint.
Through early 2026, every new ERPNext / Frappe engagement opened with a 60-day trial: concrete work, real users, real data, before any longer commitment. If the fit was not right at day 60, we parted amicably and you kept everything we had shipped. That was the deal, and it did its job.
In June 2026 that promise was folded into the single entry point for every engagement, the fixed-fee Forward Deploy Sprint: 30 to 60 days embedded on one painful, expensive workflow, a defined finish line, and the same guarantee that the work is yours whether or not we continue. There is no separate iOS or web-project track anymore; native mobile, web platforms, and ERPNext / Frappe are all capabilities the embedded engineer reaches for once the expensive problem is found.
