I suggest you click on the 'Get instant Quote' link, then leave your name
and email address (required fields) blank and they will happily tell you
that your quote has been emailed to you?

Just a small point, hopefully the ERP system doesn't have these minor
quirks?

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

This is some serious cool! No joke, I am actually pretty psyched about
this. While obviously PHP isn't my cup of tea, I am very interested in
the concept of a full-featured ERP system. Their MRP system has just
about every feature I could envision, from Kanban to batch balancing. I
didn't see a lot on co-prouct by-product, but they have recipes and I
suspect the functionality is there.

I'd be very interested to see it in action on a full-blown implementation!

Unfortunately open source doesn't mean free, so I wasn't able to look at
the code. But if nothing else, they are very ambitious. This might be
the first real example I've seen of a PHP-based enterprise application.
I'd have to understand the architecture better, but it looks pretty
impressive.

Oh, Sorry, didn't realize it was my turn to respond. Don't want to let a
good thread go unanswered.

Ok, Joe, Lots of points to choose from...let me see....Ah! Here is a good
one...

I know you love to hold MRP as one of the Holy Grail's of Enterprise
software. I have it on good authority that there is an ERP with an MRP
written in 100% PHP with BOM explosions and the whole nine yards. I am
due to look at it myself in a few weeks so while I do not have firsthand
experience I am cautiously optimistic. A couple of JD Edwards defectors
turned me on to it. I'll see if I can get one of the principles to jump
on this thread and offer insight. Please take a look for yourself:

It is available as an implemented solution and also under a SaaS model.

Mike
