Is ItNirman CRM a good WP ERP alternative?
They overlap less than the names suggest. WP ERP is a free suite: its core includes HR (employees, leave, attendance), a CRM module (contacts, life stages, companies, notes, meetings and calls, tasks, reports) and an accounting module that lists invoices, quotations, bills and expenses. Paid plans are priced per user: Starter is $137 a year for 1 user, Growth $257 for 3 and Scale $474 for 10, with extra users at $24 a year, and the extensions that connect to WooCommerce, HubSpot, Mailchimp or Salesforce sit in the higher tiers. A client portal, monthly client reports and local wallet payments are not listed.
Choose ItNirman CRM when your business is client work and you want the portal, monthly reports, agency finance, quotes, invoices, email marketing and bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay payments in one licence, however many staff you add. Choose WP ERP when you also need HR and full accounting, want to start free, or need WooCommerce and Salesforce connections.

What You Get With ItNirman CRM
One licence, nothing held back. Single and Business differ only in the number of sites, and your data stays in your own WordPress database.
A client portal with no login
Each client gets a private link to read reports, see invoices, accept quotes, view files and send requests. Regenerate the link and the old one stops working.
Monthly client reports
Build the report from the work done, performance screenshots and next month's plan. Share it in the portal or as a PDF, and collect feedback on it.
Quote to paid invoice
A client accepts a quote online and the invoice is created. Partial payments, overdue flags, reminders by email and WhatsApp message, and card payments through Stripe or SSLCommerz.
Client 360 and health score
Invoices, payments, reports, tasks and messages on one timeline, with a 0 to 100 health score and warnings about clients who may leave.
Agency finance
Income from client payments, expenses with receipts, shared costs and a Time & Profit view that shows which clients actually make money.
Built for Bangladesh
The whole interface in English or Bangla, bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Upay payments with a transaction ID that can never be used twice.

Moving From WP ERP to ItNirman CRM
- Test on a staging copy. Addresses ending in .local or .test never use a licence slot.
- Export your contacts. Export your CRM contacts from WP ERP as a CSV file, and keep your invoices and accounting records.
- Import into ItNirman CRM. The CSV importer brings contacts in as leads. Plan to review clients, invoices and history by hand.
- Keep what you still need. If you use WP ERP for HR or accounting, keep it for that and use ItNirman CRM for client work.
Features that exist only in WP ERP, such as HR, payroll and ledgers, will not carry over.
