OFBiz includes the ability to track shipments, but it doesn't support a
vertical application like the one you describe. It should be fairly easy
to extend the existing shipment functionality to support a logistics
company.

We have been evaluating ofbiz for small startup logistics company and would
like to hear feedback from the community if this can be achieved by using
ofbiz. We searched the mailing list except of couple of threads but they
are not much helpful.
Our basic requirements are:
1. Packages from a client arrive in our warehouse.
2. We ship the packages to the customers.
3. Any packages that are not received by the customers are returned to our
warehouse by the person making the delivery.
4. At the end of day a report is send to the client and very next day the
undelivered packages are returned to the client warehouse.
When a package arrive in our warehouse we would like to store information
on the package contents too. I think the incoming packages to our warehouse
can be associated to a purchase order and received in the warehouse and
when we deliver the packages, it can be done by creating a sales order,
making an inventory issuance etc.? Is it a right way to do it?
We are not sure how to receive the packages, I think ofbiz only allow to
receive the goods/products and there has to be product(s) in the system
before product(s) receipt, right? but we don't want to store that much of
information, just the packages and the content of the packages ...
Has anyone done this before and can share their experience?
Thanks in advance !!
