OFBiz Definition

[vinuthomas2008]

Hi All,

What exactly is OfBiz?
Is it an Order Management system like Sterling Commerce? or a specialized
ecommerce system?

It does not seem to have full features of an ERP nor of a CRM?

Can you point out a similar open source or commercial system so i can
identify what exactly OfBiz is??

Thanks
Vinu

Hi Jacques,

Not really.

I am looking to start a SaaS business around OfBiz. Wanted to focus on the
CRM module but dont see it.

So basically trying to figure out what kind of business can I run around it.

BTW, I think i should have joined OfBiz years ago. Its Apache license is
flexible enough for small entrepreneurs like me.

Hello Vinu,

I am not sure what level of support you are expecting from the OFBiz OOTB.
Here is one document which explains the basic idea of OFBiz CRM. It is not
a complete guide but you will get the idea from here.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Customer+Relationship+Management+%28CRM%29+Process+Overview

As defined on the website, OFBiz is a suite of business applications
flexible enough to be used across any industry. The underlying data model
and service layer support almost every business logic, definitely, at the
cost of minor customizations as per the business needs. I have seen people
are using Apache OFBiz in a wide variety of domains like OMS, WMS,
Accounting, CRM, PM, Manufacturing, etc.

It will be good if you can list out what all features you are expecting out
of the system.

Kind Regards,
