2. We are planning to use ofbiz for few different companies, they all
100% independent, can we have one ofbiz instance for all of them ?how ?
In this scenario I would advice to set up 2 tenants to ensure having
Chinese Walls between the 2 companies. Each tenant would have its own
database, and can have different plugins in play.
BTW, you may have as most as tenants you need
3. How easy to sync/push products, invoices , payments , etc. from our
POS --> ofbiz (i.e. can we insert invoice via APIs)
You may follow one of the suggested ways here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Handling+of+External+data
Be sure to compare with the other different possible ways documented in the children pages of this page and pick the one (or several) which best fit/s
your needs.
5. I do see Arabic support implemented to some degree, but is it full
support, for example currency format, RTL (both web and PDF)
RTL is supported in Web, I don't think it is in PDF. Currency is supported in both. Since we are using NotoSans font by default you can use a very
large set of characters in PDF.
You may have a look at
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/example/control/fonts.pdf
6. Finally, how stable/active is ofbiz ? I see 30-40 emails per month
only in the mailing list, this make me very worry !
OFBiz was born in 2001, became a Top Level Project (TLP) in Apache Software
Foundation (ASF) in 2006 and was mature around 2010.
So yes it's pretty stable and safe (security). Since OFBiz is mature the
activity as decreased with a pick around 2016 as you can see here:
