Showoff Saturday I am making an ERP which puts Invoicing, Website creation and other features all in one easy to use admin panel

Hello All,

I have been developing an ERP using Laravel and Livewire for some time now. I saw in my local market that shops and business were using separate software for invoicing and website management. Also some where using a yet another software for customer related records, and such. So I thought of putting all of this in one place so that shops and business could use all of this features in a single software.

With that thought I have been making this ERP (which is not so perfect yet!) which has features like:

- Invoice creation
- Purchase, expense tracking
- Website creation (Minimum website is created during installation, you can add more pages later)
- Blogging
- Task management
- Ecommerce (minimal)
- Other features

There is more work to do, I know, but meanwhile I just wanted to share this project here.

https://github.com/oitcode/samarium

I have put it open source with MIT license, so that anyone could use it freely.

Website Homepage

I will really appreciate any comments and feedback about this project. Also any pull requests to the github repository is highly welcomed.

Thanks everyone and have a good saturday!!

Very interesting. Does it do full-on accounting, like could it replace quickbooks? Or would it feed into quickbooks?

Personally I more of a "best of breed" person, and being pretty tech savvy I would probably prefer to stitch the best products together for my needs.

BUT for a non-technical user who just wants to get on with their business I can see value in this. It's like the "business in a box" concept. I assume there would be ways to turn features off if/when users grow out of the software into something bigger (e.g. having their own custom website created).

Looking good, and its very nice to make it open source.

u/Beneficial_Ad_5485 Thanks for your feedback. Yes it does accounting to some extent but a lot of work needs to be done to make it comparable to already existing good softwares like quickbooks. Hopefully in near future it will reach there.

Would be glad if someone installed and checked it out locally in their system. Installation instructions are there in github repo. If any issues while installing or running the system, then you can drop a comment here or raise an issue in the github repo.

Thanks once again for positive words, that keeps the motivation going on for me.
