I am looking at setting using OFBiz. We have a distribution company.
We are looking for the following:
1 - confirmation that it will work for us. I have ready it over, and it seems to have featur ewe need, and many more options I can use later.
2 - install and configure it. (we will self host it)
3 - training on how to use it.
4 - availability for future training and development of configuration of existing features.
Basic features I picked form the list of features, which are listed at the end of the message.
I'd be interested in talking to you to see if this might work for us, and if so, move forward.
Thanks for your time.
list of feature needed
I looked over this and I came up with this list for basic features:
ACCTING
Standard Double entry General Ledger
Supports multiple organisations, account hierarchies and segmentation
Accounts Receivable (AR), Accounts Payable (AP), Invoices, Payments, Statements and Aging
Financial Reporting Fully integrated with Order Management, Inventory, Purchasing and Manufacturing out of the box
the idea of having orders invoiced before the product is shipped(and inventory not yet arrived in warehouse).
Human resources - employee expenses (or, can I skip this module and enter the few amount of employee expenses another way?
Inventory management
Manage and setup single, multiple warehouses
Inventory Locations
Serialized on non serialized Inventory
Shipment Integration - (what is this???)
Picklist and Package Management
Receiving
Returns
Can it be set up so that a scanner is used to scan the location, and the product, to confirm that the product was picked, and from what location?
Catalog management:
Support unlimited catalogs (not sure what this is), categories, and products
Price rules for customer or group-specific pricing
Keyword search capability in all the applications using hibernate search - (what is this??
CRM & order management:
Customer Service and Case Managment- (what is this???)
Quotes, Order Entry and Order Management
as well, basic BI page/portal allowing access to things like:
slow moving stock
sales per year, month, week, etc.
sales of a given item or category per year, month or week, etc... Also, over the course fo multiple time frames (like of the course of 5 year, so see he changes over time
Purchases from given supplier, or categories or products from a given supplier
Etc...
Manufacturing and human resources do not seem to apply to us.
