Open Source ERP : WebERP

webERP is an open-source web-based ERP system.
webERP is a complete web based accounting/ERP system that requires only a web-browser and pdf reader to use. It has a wide range of features suitable for many businesses particularly distributed businesses in wholesale and distribution. It is developed as an open-source application and is available as a free download to use. The feature set is continually expanding as new businesses and developers adopt it.
There are on average 5,000 downloads per month.

The growth of webERP adoption has been entirely through word of mouth testimony - there has never been a marketing or advertising push to "sell" webERP. Of course there are no funds nor commercial incentive to do so for free software. Instead this growth is built on reputation and solid practical functionality that works as tried and tested by an increasing number of businesses.
webERP can run on any web-server - Windows IIS, Apache or any web-server at all - it doesn't matter.
Any device that has internet access can run webERP as a client - desktop, notebook netbook or phone all functionality is available.
It is easy to develop functionality to meet precisely the requirements of your business. webERP developers are keen to work with your business to develop solutions you need.
In labour markets where it is increasingly difficult to retain good staff this flexibility in where work is performed can be a key advantage to employers.
It has translations to many different languages - each user can see the screens in their own language and in their own graphical theme.
webERP is an Open Source project. As such there are no fees associated with using the system! What is more, there is competition between service providers to provide the best and most cost effective support. Service providers are more readily available because the availability of the source code enables those with PHP knowledge (the web-programming language used by webERP) to be able to identify exactly what processing is performed by the system. In proprietary systems this information is often not available even to licensed support providers - they need to communicate back to the software vendor for a response. With the information available to support people, the quality of the support is likely also to be better.
