Great to hear, it's a solid platform for business applications

Tryton has a pretty good and growing set of modules for common ERP
functions, but its potential is greater if you think if it as a "business
application framework". If you are willing to do some module development
you can do most anything and achieve seamless integration with the standard
modules.

The standard stock modules are fine for this; all that is missing is the
interface. The simplest is to use a web page front end with flask-tryton or
with nereid for more complex web apps. A simple one page web interface with
flask would be fine.

See above. A signature could be captured and saved as a bitmap attachment
to a shipment record for example but there are other digital signing
mechanisms too. Not sure of the requirements here.

This would be the most work, but PostgreSQL does GIS well and there are
APIs to hook into google maps and open street maps. Not sure what native
client or SAO have to offer off the shelf though

Tryton has calendar and DAV so this should be doable

Tryton is pretty capable here. It would use ODS not XSLS. But excel can use
open document format files. The native and SAO clients have some
dashboard-like capability but look at the flask-tryton or nereid options
for more flexibility

I would say tryton would provide much more because it handles all the
business logic too. Plus you don't need to develop a full front end. You
would have more success with using SAO for 80% and smaller scope web apps
for the 20% that can't be done by the standard front end.
