About the Role
Klaimify Private Limited is looking for an experienced and highly capable Functional Consultant ERP Implementation to join our growing ERP Consulting & Implementation team at our Raipur office.
The role is intended for a professional who possesses strong hands-on experience in ERP implementations, understands business processes deeply, can independently engage with clients, and is capable of translating complex business requirements into scalable and practical ERP solutions.
The ideal candidate should have strong functional expertise across ERP modules, excellent analytical and problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to work across multiple projects and client engagements simultaneously.
Experience with ERPNext and the Frappe Framework is highly desirable.
This is NOT a conventional Business Analyst or ERP Support role. The position requires a consultant who can understand the underlying business problem, challenge inefficient processes, propose practical solutions, coordinate with technical teams and take functional ownership from requirement discovery through implementation, UAT, go-live and stabilization.
Key Responsibilities
1. ERP Implementation & Functional Consulting

- Translate business requirements into practical ERP solutions and configurations.
- Conduct functional gap analysis and recommend appropriate solutions with minimum unnecessary customization.
- Develop functional solution approaches aligned with ERP best practices and client business objectives.
- Understand dependencies between different ERP modules and ensure that proposed solutions work across the complete business process.
- Participate in implementation planning, configuration, testing, UAT, deployment and stabilization activities.
2. Business Requirement Analysis & Solution Design
- Conduct detailed requirement-gathering workshops with business users and key stakeholders.
- Understand the actual business problem behind a stated requirement rather than simply documenting user requests.

- Prepare and maintain:
- Business Requirement Documents (BRDs)
- Functional Requirement Specifications (FRS)
- User Stories
- Use Cases
- Process Flow Diagrams
- Gap Analysis Documents
- Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM)

- Ensure complete traceability between business requirements, functional solutions, development and testing.

- Finance & Accounting
- Sales
- Purchase & Procurement
- Inventory & Warehouse
- Manufacturing
- CRM
- Projects
- HR & Payroll
- Asset Management
- Other industry-specific ERP modules
- Understand end-to-end business processes and their cross-module dependencies.
- Analyze the impact of functional changes across connected modules and workflows.
- Identify whether a requirement should be addressed through configuration, process redesign, customization, integration or user training.
- Provide functional guidance to development and QA teams throughout implementation.
4. Client Management & Consulting
- Act as a trusted functional consultant and business advisor for assigned clients.

5. Real-Time Problem Resolution & Out-of-the-Box Thinking
- Demonstrate excellent analytical and out-of-the-box thinking while solving business and ERP implementation challenges.
- Independently analyze and resolve functional issues arising during implementation, UAT and production support.
- Identify the root cause of functional problems rather than addressing only their symptoms.
- Evaluate alternative approaches when standard ERP functionality does not fully meet a business requirement.
- Recommend sustainable solutions instead of unnecessarily increasing system customization.
- Identify potential implementation risks and proactively address them.
- Work effectively under pressure during critical implementation, UAT and go-live situations.
6. UAT, Go-Live & Post-Implementation Support
- Develop UAT scenarios, test cases and validation criteria based on approved business requirements.
- Coordinate UAT activities with client business users.
- Analyze UAT observations and determine whether issues are related to functionality, configuration, customization, data or business processes.
- Coordinate with developers and QA teams for issue resolution.

- Provide functional support during the post-go-live stabilization period.
- Conduct user training, knowledge-transfer and process walkthrough sessions.
- Ensure that users understand the implemented processes and system functionality.

7. Multi-Project & Delivery Coordination
