OfficeBooks is a lightweight cloud ERP for very small manufacturers and product companies. Covers purchase orders, work orders, inventory, contacts, and invoicing in a simple, affordable package. Canadian-origin; designed for businesses under 20 employees.
Exceptionally simple cloud ERP for micro manufacturers — work orders and inventory without the complexity of a full platform; very limited depth means it's a starting point for the smallest product companies, not a long-term solution for growing manufacturers.
