On Friday we decided to abandon our trial of the Compiere ERP/CRM solution. We concluded that a company of our size with our resources was not ready to impliment Compiere at its current development level.

The stock control system was excellent. Our struggles were basically with GST and accounting. Compiere does not support GST inclusive pricing yet. We also couldn’t get payables reporting simplified enough to allow an accounts clerk to run it.

Lastly a related company has an unused license for another multi-location accounting product. So we’ve decided to trial that.

We want our system in place for 1 July 2004 so this should be interesting.
