Perhaps the real comparison is to OFBiz. Ofbiz is a java servlet. More important, OFBiz has an integrated customer management database. Every transaction gets logged as a relationship between inventory, customer and transaction.
So you not only get to sell stuff online, you can track your sales, best customers, markups, expenses, create mailing lists, generate advertising, sale definitions, etc. Seems to me you need a shopping cart plus bar code reading plus customer database. Or you don't really have a system. Is there a 3rd party customer management database that can be plugged into and integrated with Satchmo? I've talked to high-volume retailers who have told me about commercial products that do what OFBiz does (was it Retail-Pro?), that cost a ton of money up front, plus they require a fat monthly licensing fee: 300-600 bucks a month, just to use it. A soup-to-nuts system (like OFBiz and/or those proprietary systems) would be a major development. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
