Most companies eventually hit a point where spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and rigid ERPs no longer support their operations. That’s when custom applications become essential. Aavatto specializes in building custom Frappe apps designed around your exact workflows — no compromises, no workarounds, no force-fitting your processes into generic software.
