[edit] ERP with Rich clients
[edit] OpenERP (formerly tinyerp)
Rich client (gtk, maybe kde) under linux and windows + server + web client. Based on python/turbogear.
They have good support for French, and some KDE-related things(!) in screenshots, though it's not very clear yet what this is.
They have some documentation, although I haven't proofread it yet.
Both rich client and web client. Both are clean/good. Huge number of modules. (stocks, french account, invoices,contacts, mails). Can only use postgresql.
[edit] openMFG and postbooks
postbooks is the free version and openmfg the $$ one. The company behind those is 'xtuple' and it appeared several times in sf top 10 lists.
It uses a rich client (qt4 : linux/win/windows) and a database (two-tiers).
svn easily available from sf (though it's very very slow, as often with sf), using the url https://postbooks.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/postbooks/xtuple/trunk
There's no README or whatever, running 'qmake' (as there are *.pro files) gives "Project ERROR: Could not set the OPENRPT_DIR qmake variable." and not other helpful message.
[edit] http://opensi.org/
Use a (xul) firefox plugin to connect to the server. Not really 'rich client'.
Focused on accounting. Seems good, very professional. Some accoutants have helped designing it.
I was not able to test. There's no demo available online, but i got cvs sources (2005-12-13)
Now there is a demo, which doesn't work (2006) Their bugtracking doesn't work (gna), but the forum seems to be useful.
I managed to install the plugin, but never managed to connect to the demo "error 403"
[edit] ERP / web-based only
[edit] pimengest
php, pgsql
free& gpl, but doesn't do accounting. Everything else seems cool. Do CRM, billing, suppliers payements, stocks, time-tracking, permissions.
The demo site doesn't work (2004-11-16)
[edit] dolibarr
php,mysql,apache... Most notably for french companies.
invoice , taxes(tva), bare minimum on accounting
The project did win the "trophees du libre", but this award was created by the author...
Once used by orzel for his invoices, but the software is a nightmare to maintain/update. i gave up.
[edit] openaguila
said to be easy to use. But is never cited as competitor by the others (?)
You need to subscribe to reach the demo.
[edit] compiere
Not for very small companies.
only web-based?
[edit] openbravo
No demonstration ? this is a .com Supposed to be for 'small and medium sized companies', but it seems to be focused on not-that-small companies.
[edit] tine20
Demo on http://demo.tine20.org. Web-based.
good:
- Nominated at "Trophe du libre 2009".
- they have (phpunit based) unit tests
- the use of google gears (enables offline usage?)
- slick interface.
bad:
- php/zend
[edit] openbluelab
Not a lot yet, but promising. No rich client ?
[edit] CRM only
[edit] sugar
[edit] vtiger
LAMP. a fork from sugarcrm (reason : sugar not free enough)
tested on january 8th, 2009, version 5.0.4:
- installation ok (from source), though it needs 4 minutes to do "stuff", they wont tell you what it is doing and that sounds bad to me.
- nice interface
- impossible to create a product (blank page with "Action name is missing. Please check the action name.").
- there's an 'inventory' module, but seems only for reselling objects, not for internal stuff.
- lot of php errors/warning, the installation process says not to log/display them...
- it seems the CRM module can only import CSV data for contacts (in which format?)
- settings only allow jpeg for log, and once given a jpeg, doesn't display it (html shows "" for the image filename)
[edit] eggcrm
The webpage contains screenshots, demo, documentation and download, though lot of stuff is in French only.
LAMP-based.
