ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems allow to consistently manage most of the processes of the information exchange in the company. An application that combines the accounting, the interaction with suppliers and customers (purchasing, invoicing and post-sales service, etc.), warehouse management, human resources management, planning and supervision of production, etc., is the Holy Grail for every company.
For many companies the problem lies in very high costs associated with implementation of an ERP system. For others it is a nightmare to wade through implementation of the system, which somehow does not want to adapt to the company, and its continuous modifications hoist into the skies costs of implementation and maintenance.
It frequently appears that those managing the company – and sometimes even company’s own computer specialists – are not aware of the existence of a vibrant emerging market of open source ERP systems that can compete confidently with expensive solutions.
Meanwhile, in the Open Source world one can find products like Compiere, ADempiere, OpenERP, Openbravo and xTuple, which allow to implement smoothly and at an appropriate pace an integrated tool supporting the functioning of the company for free, without horrendous costs.
Cirrus will help you assess the needs of your company, select the appropriate platform, plan to implement a system. We will watch over the course of implementation, train people and then keep the system in motion and constantly adapt it to your needs.
Our company together with OpenGLOBE are deeply involved in OpenERP project. We have unique expertise of the system in Poland.
General functionality of OpenERP made by OpenGLOBE:
-
Account_asset module contains the functionality of fixed assets management and accounting. The module allows to amortise fixed assets according to the basic methods widely used (linear, declining balance, sum of annual numbers, real consumption, and at own plan). It also allows for the purchase, sale, revaluation and disposal of fixed assets.
