Re: [Web-erp-developers] StoreFront/Catalog and webERP

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

Phil can correct me if I get anything incorrect here.  It kind of depends on
whether you need customer access for ordering or a pretty web storefront for
advertising, selling, ordering and paying.  webERP, to the best of my
knowledge, is not setup to be a storefront, it is an accounting/business/ERP
system so the way the customer is going to see the products is the same as
the users in the company see them internally.  What webERP does already give
you is a common database for storage of products and orders.  It has
mechanisms to create and access orders.   It has authentication.  Plus
creating the web orders directly in webERP means they are ready to move
through all the various accounting without any double work and interfacing
being necessary.

If a nice storefront is needed then that is a separate beast.  You would
need to either:

1) Enhance webERP to present a nice web store front, display product and
organize this customer site in the ways that are appealing.

2) About the same mission as 1 but you take an existing store front and
combine it with webERP.

However, I doubt there is any cost effective solution out there that
provides both full accounting/erp system and fully functional storefront so
whichever system you used you would need to do the work explained above
anyway.  In my opinion you want to go with webERP because it's technology
and design make it easier to combine a storefront with it than other
systems.

Hopefully this helps.
