The concept of "cloud computing" where the application can live anywhere on the internet and be delivered to the business through "the cloud" has become THE buzz-word "du jour" and the benefits are now widely understood. "Cloud computing" has been a reality for webERP adopters since 2003 and demonstrates just how far ahead of it's time it was when first released. Users have enjoyed the benefits of fast access from anywhere, anytime and saved the significant costs of server purchase, maintenance and administration for many years already!
Practical Web-Based ERP Software
webERP is a mature open-source ERP system providing best practise, multi-user business administration and accounting tools over the web.
About
webERP is a complete web based accounting and business management 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, distribution and manufacturing. When combined with a 3rd party interactive desktop Point Of Sale system it can also form the hub of a dispersed multi-branch retail management system. webERP is as an open-source application and is available as a free download to use with all the PHP code written in an accessible way for you to add your own features as needed. The feature set is continually expanding as new businesses and developers adopt it.
User Base
There are thousands of downloads every month. The extraordinary 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. This growth is built on reputation and solid practical functionality that works as tried and tested by an increasing number of businesses.
There are 33 different language translations available all included in the archive with users all over the world.
