Introduction
With the advent of technology there is huge increase in the competition among
the companies. The company which is lacking in the technology meet its end
early. Thus it becomes very important for companies to have cutting edge
technology to beat their competitors. With the growing business it is important
that keep in mind that there is efficient use of resources and timely delivery of
products and services to make your customer satisfied. It is possible only when
there is proper information flow along with process flow. Reliable and accurate
information gives you competitive advantage over the other. Thus enterprise
resource planning is very important for the company. There are already major
players in the ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle and Microsoft. But many small
companies are not able to use these expensive ERP solution and thereby they
use open source ERP which are easily available on internet. There are various
open source ERP available like Odoo, Xtuple, Apache OFBiz, ADempiere ERP
business suite, ERPNext, Dolibarr, Opentaps, ERP5, LedgerSMB, OpenBravo ERP.
