Visit our ERP FAQ to discover how Compiere can help your company grow. The Compiere Difference: Easier and Affordable ERP Compiere is changing the economics of business solutions by making Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) easier. Easier to acquire. Easier to implement. Easier to extend. Easier to change. Typical business solution software vendors aren't focused on making their solutions easier, more adaptable or more affordable. Instead, they spend over 50 percent of their revenues convincing you to buy their products (sales and marketing) and less than 10% of revenues on innovation. This unbalanced business approach has lead to a consolidated software industry providing customers with fewer choices and even less innovation. Compiere is taking a fresh and balanced approach to business solution software. We develop Compiere in the open and distribute it through open source licensing.

You are free to evaluate and use the open source version of Compiere without restriction. To support your demanding use of Compiere, we provide a range of valuable fee-based services from training and technical support to automated migration tools and certification of technology platforms and implementation partners. Our network of authorized partners add additional value through their focused expertise in solution design, integration and local requirements. In this model everyone wins through expanded choice, reduced acquisition risk, more innovation and valuable customer-centric services.

Easier Doesn't Mean Simple

Compiere offers powerful capabilities to automate all of your financial, distribution, sales and service functions to improve business efficiency and customer satisfaction. Applications are built on an innovative model-based development platform that gives customers unprecedented adaptability, rapid deployment and low cost of ownership. The solution supports the needs of local and global businesses alike, with robust support for multiple currencies, accounting rules, tax codes, organizational structures and languages required by your business. If you only do business in one language or currency, we handle that as well. Compiere, Inc. offers commercial backing, support and services to its global network of nearly 100 authorized partners across 25 countries. Compiere is privately held and headquartered in Redwood Shores, Calif.

What is ERP and CRM?

ERP applications typically consist of modules such as Marketing and Sales, Field Service, Production, Inventory Control, Procurement, Distribution, Human Resources, Finance and Accounting. CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. CRM software supports your business process to find, get, and retain customers. CRM applications typically consist of modules such as Sales Force Automation, Call Management, and Self Service.

More Product Features

Compiere is an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relations Management (CRM) software solution that combines the power of point of sales (POS), distribution, inventory, e-commerce, accounting, and workflow systems within one robust application. Compiere is fully customizable to your enterprise and was created to handle the challenges of global commerce.

Point Of Sales

Compiere's center piece is a state-of-the-art point of sales software (POS Software) with an integrated POS Terminal. At your fingertips, you have all the required information to improve productivity in the front office while also easily accessing the information for efficient distribution management in the back office.

Distribution and Inventory
Use our distribution and inventory solutions to manage the supply chain within your organization as well with suppliers and customers. Supply Chain Management covers all material management activities including inventory receipts, shipments, moves and counts within a client and its organizations, as well as to suppliers and customers.

E-Commerce
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 Compiere provides can be customized to the look-and-feel of your web site.

Accounting
Our accounting solutions cater to the needs of your enterprise, no matter what currency or schema you use. Compiere even provides the flexibility to account in one or more Accounting Schema in parallel.

Workflow
In contrast to all other known ERP and CRM applications, Compiere is based on Workflow. The Compiere Workflow Engine is Compiere's core transaction management. That means that all processes in Compiere are automatically workflow enabled and easy to extend and modify. As the Compiere workflow solution is completely integrated rather than being built "on top" of the application, it is much easier to maintain and provides more functionality then the external or ad-on workflow offerings of other ERP and CRM vendors.

Product Comparisons
There are several companies providing product comparisons for a fee. Examples are the Accounting Software Library and Accounting Software Comparison or ERP Evaluation and Vendor Showcase You will see that Compiere is extremely competitive and has certainly the best ROI. If we are lacking functionality, check with us. Our development cycle is very fast and it might already be available, but not reflected in the comparisons.

The Apache Open For Business Project is an open source enterprise automation software project licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0. By open source enterprise automation we mean: Open Source ERP, Open Source CRM, Open Source E-Business / E-Commerce, Open Source SCM, Open Source MRP, Open Source CMMS/EAM, and so on.

Apache OFBiz is a foundation and starting point for enterprise solutions, be they for one organization or one million. OFBiz can certainly be used OOTB (out of the box), but if you're looking for something that works really well for that there are many open source projects that do a great job there. OFBiz is great for creating specialized applications for use OOTB by other organizations. OFBiz is also great for organizations that need more than what an OOTB application can offer in order to grow their operations, but find the deployment and maintenance costs of traditional enterprise systems that can handle such things to be unreasonable or unjustifiable.

Being open source under the Apache 2.0 license and driven by a community Apache OFBiz offers both flexibility by design and by access to code, and a solution where you're not alone but rather can work with many others to get things done.

Apache OFBiz offers a great deal of functionality, including:

* advanced e-commerce
* catalog management
* promotion & pricing management
* order management (sales & purchase)
* customer management (part of general party management)
* warehouse management
* fulfillment (auto stock moves, batched pick, pack & ship)
* accounting (invoice, payment & billing accounts, fixed assets)
* manufacturing management
* general work effort management (events, tasks, projects, requests, etc)
* content management (for product content, web sites, general content, blogging, forums, etc)
* a maturing Point Of Sales (POS) module using XUI as rich client interface
* and much more all in an open source package!
