Openerp

I am looking for a software solution for a small food manufacturing company, it's a start up and they are looking at getting the IT side of it right from day one by implementing a scalable management system. The first stage it an accountancy package, I came across openerp www.openerp.com and it looks like it might just meet their requirements, allowing deployment of an accounting system initially then other modules as they are required.

It is supported in Thailand, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it, obviously being open source it immediately ticks a big box. As it stores all data in a sql database there is very little problem with data lock-in. There would be a cost in support and implementation, but as the organization is relying on investor capital, transparency and low overheads are paramount.

Yes it is a nice ERP solution for small biz. It uses PostGreSQL 4 DB Server.

I installed it just to have a look at its features. Very Easy to install.

Give it a try.

Hello,

You might want to contact Almacom, an official OpenERP partner in Thailand who developed the whole Thai accounting and localization: http://www.openerp.com/node/329

Thanks for the replies, I was already aware of Almacom in Bkk. The business is currently up and running in proof of concept mode, the next step is to go into full production. Having experience of many companies in the past with different IT systems within each department I wanted to find a solution for the whole organization.

We will now implement OpenERP in this POC business to further test it's capabilities, but from what I have seen it will more than meet our requirements. With Thai localization it is very promising.

Anyway once again thank you for making the effort to reply.

Hi, I'm Benoit from Almacom.

I ran across this page out of luck, so I thought I would just drop by and say hello

So, to answer your initial question, we do have experience with OpenERP. I'd say that OpenERP is probably one of the most flexible and powerful platform around. If you have any question regarding OpenERP and/or Almacom, please feel free to ask it here or contact us directly. We provide technical training to companies that wish to develop/extend modules internally; in our experience, mastering the infrastructure can take a fairly long time so I thought it would be worth mentioning.

Also, as your project is warming up, I'm eager to know if you choose OpenERP v5 or v6?

Note that we are also partners with Netforce whose focus is on providing standard OpenERP solutions in the cloud (or optionally on a fully managed onsite physical server). Not exactly standard as the Thai accounting module is included. As I understand your situation, this not really of interest.

Best regards.
