Compiere - An Open Source ERP System

One area where so far a professional Open Source solution was missing, are ERP systems. Compiere fills this gap and gives small and medium sized business a complete ERP solution with CRM functionality: Quote to Cash Quote to Cash covers the business process for creating a quote for a prospect or customer, order management, invoicing, and cash receipt. The functionality is highly integrated with Supply Chain Management and Customer Management. In traditional systems, you find this in modules like order entry and accounts receivable. Requisition to Pay Requisition to Pay covers the business process for creating requisitions, purchase order, invoice receipt, and payment processing. The functionality is highly integrated with Supply Chain Management. In traditional systems, you find this functionality in modules like purchasing and accounts payable. Customer Relations Management Customer Relations Management is not an independent module, but the logical view of all customer and prospect related activities. Customer management functions are an integrated part of the business process. Therefore, there are (in contrast to traditional CRM systems) no batch or synchronization processes for the back-office functionality. Partner Relations Management Partner Relations Management links different clients to each other allowing them to manage lead distribution, service requests, collateral distribution,and marketing expenses. It also allows you to provide (centralized) services. Supply Chain Management Supply Chain Management covers all material management activities including inventory receipts, shipments, moves, and counts within a client and its organizations and to suppliers and customers. Performance Analysis Performance Analysis covers the costing and accounting dimension of the application. In traditional systems, you find this functionality in Reporting and General Ledger, modules as well as in those modules that generate accounting entries. Web Store 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 can be customized to the look-and-feel of your web site.
