Howdy Everyone,

Man, this is the thread that will not die!

I notice a big common sentiment expressed here is you wish there was an ERP company that listened to its customers, is honest, and doesn't sock you with hidden fees at the end of the year.

As I've done a few times in this thread already, I'd like to suggest everyone take a look at xTuple. They publish their prices on their website so there are no surprises. Furthermore, they offer free 30-day trials of their commercial products, and they have a feature-packed (Dynamics, Navision-level features) basic version that is open source and free for unlimited numbers of users.

All versions, even the free version, offer no-charge Point of Sale as an add-on module! xTuple also integrates with Yahoo Merchant and other web-based shopping carts.

It's not web based but the GUI clients are available for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. The server part - based entirely on PostgreSQL - is likewise available under all three platforms. They provide a rich developer API in both the client - you can design new screens using Javascript - as well as on the database side of things.

The only drawback is the learning curve - as with many ERP systems it is steep. But they do provide training and instructional videos on their website.

I know this sounds like an ad but it's not intended to be. xTuple is used by many successful companies including Cedar Lane Foods - the same Cedar Lane that produces the frozen goodies in your grocer's freezer.

Cheers,
JoshuaK
