UNO MINDA: SAP Champion, a Frappe/ERPNext learning platform for 3,000+ manufacturing employees

UNO MINDA supplies major OEMs, and its manufacturing workforce of more than 3,000 employees has to be trained, assessed and certified — for skills, for compliance and for the standards its customers audit. Training was classroom-based: expensive to run, hard to schedule around shifts, and tracked in registers that produced no real-time picture of who was trained on what. Management could not answer a simple question — how ready is this plant's workforce? — without a manual exercise.

The company wanted a structured digital platform: a library of training modules, assessment before and after training, certificates that could not be faked, and dashboards showing completion by department, location and skill category. It also had to enrol the right people automatically from HR data rather than by hand. ATS built it as a custom LMS module on Frappe/ERPNext through our Frappe practice.

The platform is a custom LMS module built on the Frappe Framework and ERPNext, in Python on MariaDB, with Vue.js for the learner and administrator interfaces. Training modules, assessments, attempts, results and certificates are DocTypes with their own workflows, which is what lets the assessment engine, certificate issuance and dashboards run as native Frappe reports and automations rather than a separate system.

HR data integration is the piece that makes enrolment automatic: employee, role and grade data flow into the platform over REST APIs and drive the role-based enrolment rules. Certificates carry a QR code that resolves to a verification endpoint, so a certificate can be checked on the shop floor or by an auditor. The approach — extend ERPNext with a purpose-built app rather than bend a generic product — is described on our custom Frappe app development page.
