Introduction
Although Prometeo-ERP System was a phase-out project for any further development, its follow-up project was Django-ERP. However, Django-ERP is still under development, Its function is not ready, and most features are not ready for public use at this moment. Then, I step back to continue to test Prometeo-ERP System. Prometeo-ERP has already provide many useful features, its public release free version had the following features:
- Authentication & row-level permission system
- Notification system
- Custom widgets & dashboards
- Taxonomy system
- File browsing
- Event calendar
- User tasks & timesheets
- CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
- Products management
- Stock management
- Human resources management
- Sales management
- Project management
- Knowledge management
- DMS (Document Management System)
