Hi Torsten Thanks for your reply. I think the client is after a stock control system and online shop, which will be linked together. I don't know much about OFBiz - it seems it can do this but I don't know a) what kind of application OFBiz is, even what language (Java, Perl, etc) it is written in b) what kind of hosting is required c) what kind of back-end DB is required or if OFBiz uses an internal storage format.
Ideally I would like to design and develop the shop myself and link into OFBiz to retrieve a list of products I should display - the stock control can then all be handed off to OFBiz. But I don't know how realistic this is. Any help would be appreciated.
