OFBiz as a Warehouse Management Solution

[Pierre Smits]

Hi Sergio,

This topic has reached this mailing list fairly often recently.

In current feature set OFBiz contains a lot of warehouse management
functionalities , as it is applicable as an ERP solution for trade
organisations (wholesale, retail and e-commerce) as well as for
manufacturing. Both industry sectors rely heavily on good inventory
management and processes regarding inbound and outbound shipping
transactions (pick/pack, etc).

So you may find that it is also suitable for organisations that provide
third-party warehousing and logistic services. In fact (if I am correct),
one of the major logisitc services providers (globally) called Air Menzies
uses a derivative of OFBiz.

When looking for books regarding OFBiz and various subjects, please have a
look here:

For more books on warehousing in general, do a search at the sites of one
of the many online books resellers (e.g. amazon).

As for edi integration, Joel has recently made great strides in this area.
You can read up on this in the mail archives (e.g. http://ofbiz.markmail.org).
Maybe he is also willing to share his code via a JIRA issue.

Should you have more specific questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Pierre Smits
