The commercially-licensed editions of xTuple are designed for enterprises with larger-scale distribution and manufacturing operations. Global 1000 companies are powering their businesses with xTuple ERP.
xTuple Standard and Manufacturing Editions include advanced functionality for larger companies with more complex operations, as well as companies of any size who want or require a commercial license. But customers and partners still have full access to the source code of the commercial Editions, and enhancements made to any of the Editions of xTuple are handled through the same community development and managed release process.
Anyone can get started with the free and open source xTuple PostBooks Edition - and thousands of companies are running their business on PostBooks every day.
How do you know when it's time to move from PostBooks to one of our commercially-licensed products? Have a look at this comparison of the three Editions. If your business runs multiple warehouses or factories, if you are looking for the ERP system to plan purchasing, distribution, and manufacturing, or have detailed lot, serial, or location control requirements, then one of our commercial solutions is probably best for you.
Warehousing and Distribution
The Standard Edition of xTuple is a fully-integrated end-to-end software system for companies with more sophisticated inventory control needs. It contains everything in the open source PostBooks Edition, plus additional enterprise-class functionality specifically for distributors and light manufacturers, such as advanced returns management, batch processing of emailed documents, multi-warehouse control, sophisticated lot/serial tracking and tracing, and other features.
Manufacturing
The Manufacturing Edition of xTuple contains everything in the PostBooks and Standard Editions, plus additional enterprise-class functionality specifically for manufacturers.
xTuple's roots in manufacturing run deep. The product, and the company, all started with OpenMFG (now called Manufacturing Edition), our original award-winning ERP suite first released in 2002. Today, the Manufacturing Edition of xTuple ERP is our premium commercial offering, recommended for manufacturing companies in both discrete and batch process production; make to order, make to stock, or mixed-mode; even job shops and engineer-to-order.
Our Manufacturing Edition software is currently deployed in a wide variety of successful customer manufacturing situations, including food production, piston manufacturing, industrial pumps, specialty garments and many others, some of which are profiled on our case studies page.
Retail
xTuple has long been a strong solution for companies with advanced inventory management needs. But for many years, the primary sales interface for the xTuple software was a fairly complex Quote and Sales Order form, which wasn't very well suited for a retail environment.
That's all changing with the new Point of Sale package, now available with the free PostBooks Edition of xTuple. Retail users can now, finally, run a fully open source POS package that is fully, natively integrated with their accounting system. No more errors or wasted time from duplicate entries. And real-time inventory availability information across all company sites (stores, warehouses, etc.), right at your fingertips at every cash register.
Please contact xTuple Sales for more information about the Point of Sale package, and xTuple functionality for retailers.
Professional Services
Companies who are primarily in the business of providing services will find a lot to like with xTuple. In addition to the core accounting functionality, all three Editions of xTuple feature fully-integrated CRM - Corporate Relationship Management - which includes Customers, Partners, Vendors, and any other kind of corporate entities with whom a company might have relationships.
A key component of CRM is Project Management. Projects can be attached to various types of transactions in xTuple, including Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Work Orders. Projects are made up of individual Tasks, each of which can have a budgeted amount of Time and Expense. Users can enter Time and Expense in a sheet format, and those entries will be automatically associated with the appropriate Project and Task.
All the above functionality is available in the free PostBooks Edition of xTuple. The Time and Expense Pro package, developer by xTuple partner Core Services Group (itself a professional services company!) adds manager approval, customer invoicing of approved time and expense - including optional consolidation across multiple sheets - and vouchering of expenses incurred on projects by employees and contractors.
I also liked the feature of the xTuple that is the Project Management as it allows Projects to be attached to various types of transactions in xTuple.That is great.
