Compiere is the Open Source ERP & CRM solution with first tier functionality for the small-medium enterprise. Designed for the global marketplace, Compiere is easy to install and implement. In contrast to other solutions, you will be able to enter invoices after about 4 hours, without functionality compromises or irreversible implementation time decisions.
From the web site: Compiere is an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relations Management (CRM) software solution that combines the power of point of sales (POS), distribution, inventory, e-commerce, accounting, and workflow systems within one robust application. Compiere is fully customizable to your enterprise and was created to handle the challenges of global commerce.
Point Of Sales
Compiere’s center piece is a state-of-the-art point of sales software (POS Software) with an integrated POS Terminal. At your fingertips, you have all the required information to improve productivity in the front office while also easily accessing the information for efficient distribution management in the back office.
Distribution and Inventory
Use our distribution and inventory solutions to manage the supply chain within your organization as well with suppliers and customers. Supply Chain Management covers all material management activities including inventory receipts, shipments, moves and counts within a client and its organizations, as well as to suppliers and customers.
E-Commerce
The Compiere Web Store provides all you need to run your web presence. The information is shared with the standard application, so no synchronization or extra integration work is required. The web store components Compiere provides can be customized to the look-and-feel of your web site.
Accounting
Our accounting solutions cater to the needs of your enterprise, no matter what currency or schema you use. Compiere even provides the flexibility to account in one or more Accounting Schema in parallel.
Workflow
In contrast to all other known ERP and CRM applications, Compiere is based on Workflow. The Compiere Workflow Engine is Compiere’s core transaction management. That means that all processes in Compiere are automatically workflow enabled and easy to extend and modify. As the Compiere workflow solution is completely integrated rather than being built “on top” of the application, it is much easier to maintain and provides more functionality then the external or ad-on workflow offerings of other ERP and CRM vendors.
Product Comparisons
There are several companies providing product comparisons for a fee. Examples are the Accounting Software Library and Accounting Software Comparison or ERP Evaluation and Vendor Showcase
You will see that Compiere is extremely competitive and has certainly the best ROI. If we are lacking functionality, check with us. Our development cycle is very fast and it might already be available, but not reflected in the comparisons.
