When choosing an ERP solution, you have to keep in mind that once the first implementation is completed, your ERP should be easily fine-tuned, extended and adapted to your changing needs. As an ERP deployment is a quite long and complex project, you have to be sure you will be able to use the software for many years.
As ERP5 is open source, you have the total control over your system's evolution and you are free to change and reconfigure the software by yourself or with the help of one of our partners.
Most of the configuration tools are easy to use and a quick training course will give you the ability to make the workflows, forms, queries and reports evolve the way you want. On the other hand, as it requires more technical skills, adding new features, optimizing or improving the performance of the system should be performed by experienced ERP5 developers.
Even if your ERP5 site is custom-made, it is designed to be quickly and efficiently upgraded. The unit tests provided during the implementation phase will prevent you from any software regression when installing the latest release. Thus your ERP5 solution is always up to date.
Our partners are permanently in touch with the ERP5 core developers and will let you know which benefits could be achieved, in your specific business case, with the new software enhancements and new functionalities.
By reducing the implementation time and allowing the solution to evolve at your own pace, ERP5 is offering one of the lowest total cost of ownership compared to other ERP solutions.
