Hello everyone

I hope this is the right place to ask general questions. I am in charge of 
implementing a smallish and basic warehouse management system for an 
inhouse client in our warehouse. It should be running as a webapp on 
different devices, but actually no more than 1-2 sessions at the same time. 
At least at the beginning, there is no need for any accounting or other ERP 
useage. The only workflows needed at the beginning are basic stock 
movements like orders, stock receipt, pick&pack and delivery notes. The 
interface should be as simple and intuitive as possible, not many functions 
needed. The products are very simple (clothes), so item quantities only, 
the warehouse-lot is very simple aswell. Later on in the future, it should 
support some sort of barcode scanner via tablet, it should be able to 
connect to the clients webshop.

 What I have some basic experience with the Flask microframework, which I 
think is an amazing and productive tool. Despite not having a lot of coding 
experience, I was able to reach quite a lot in a short time, using 
jQuery/JSON/Bootstrap. So after beeing asked, I was pretty sure that with 
Flask it wouldn't be a too difficult task to code the whole application 
within Flask. 

The more I was researching ( I knew about Tryton before), the more I 
noticed that for the future (like when we would connect the Webshop, 
Barcode-scanners etc) it might be very inefficient to reinvent the wheel 
and that I totally underestimated the whole core routines, safety, 
consistency and inheritance that get provided by the Tryton-Core. 

I know about sao (havn't tested it yet) and Nereid and as a said, would 
love to use Flask. My "dream" would be to have Tryton as a core for all the 
stock-movements and database magic and Flask as provider for the views.

I wanted to ask here if you could give me some inputs, which tools you 
think are suited I should dive into. As an example, if Nereid, which is not 
meant as an client-replacment, could get used for the few basic views that 
the application needs. Or if you think for this project, that it could get 
coded within Flask only whithin a reasonable timeframe (2-3 coders in a few 
month).

Sorry for the very unspecific questions asked, I am quite new into this 
whole programming world and you are currently my only hope I have right now 
:D
Thanks very much in advance.
