This sounds like it may work out better. You have to indivudual applications that can both be updated independently of each other. There was an attempt at such a thing with webERP and Vtiger. Actually the company that accomplished this is selling it as a complete package. Vtiger has the quote, price list, orders, etc. sections already there. Maybe this may be an easier path.
