After working with Tiny for a while here are a few things which are still
needed:
1. Payroll, payroll, payroll.
Most people expect to have a payroll module in their ERP package. There
are a lot of ERP packages and a majority of them have payroll. So some of
these problems about base module and then country or region extension have been
solved. Reverse engineering is in order. Even simple php packages like ck-erp
have very flexible payroll modules.
2. User documentation/tutorials that a business person can use. Organized by
business processing and not just a listing of features by modules.
I mean the kind of tutorial that goes like this:
Today we are going to show you how to:
1. install/setup TinyERP
2. create your company information
3. import your chart of accounts
4. setup suppliers
5. setup customers
6. how to bring in starting balances from your old system
7. how to create a quotation for a customer
8. how to turn a quotation into the sales order
9. how to create/print an invoice from the sale
10. how to process a payment against the invoice from your customer
11. how to process an invoice received from a supplier
12. how to pay an invoice from a supplier
13. how to print an income statement
14. how to print a balance sheet
15. how to print the general ledger
... etc.
3. Providing support for more databases, especially MySQL. This is essential
for Tiny to hit the big market.
4. Support for integration with OpenOffice documents. PDF is nice but having
the ability to pull things into OpenOffice is crucial in a business environment.
TinyERP is a really great package. Fabien and team have done a marvelous job
with this software. After spending some time working with it I like it more
every day. And with just a few more things TinyERP could really rock big.
