Re: [SL] newbie question regarding laptop POS

[Luc v. S. <lu...@co...>]

There is a solution upcoming here in the Netherlands where there will be 
a syncronisation script between joomla/virtuemart and sql-ledger as well 
as sugar-crm.
In a bout a month time they will show me a demo.
I am not sure if this company will keep this code opensource. However 
they said they intended to.

If things look promising I will reply again
