Great framework for fast development of tailored information systems

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: In our line of work, the primary information system can't handle all the structures required for the day to day business to be efficient. You need flexibility, speed and have to be able to act fast on the changing circumstances, new technologies and processes. The implemented processes need to be optimized as much as possible.
Tryton provided a great framework to provide a secondary information system with micro-solutions for processes that needed optimization, either in a way of automation or to secure a higher level of data integrity and security.
Users are quite satisfied with the results.

Pros:

Modular with a lot of base functionality in the core modules, modularity and rich selection of core modules offers enables easy extensibility. Rock solid core system, with functionality which can easily be compared with Enterprise solutions. Great, fast and responsive user interface with modern design. Very readable source code, of the core and of the modules, which is a great source of examples.

Cons:

User documentation is rather scarce, the mailling list, irc logs and the discuss forum help rectify that. For the programmer the learning curve is quite steep, once needing advanced functionalities.

An excellent choice to switch your old legacy code into the open source ERP World

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: We are migrating all our processes step by step on Tryton (stock, purchases, sales, production, ...). Our first successful step was stock management with some customisations: printing labels on Zebra printer, a react native Android app linked to Tryton for an easier management on the ground, ... As i previously said, Tryton is very modular and it allows you to customize most of your needs to Tryton.

Pros:

- Excellent modular python framework with a strong code - Free software managed by a growing community around a foundation - Easy upgrades - Gtk client / Web client

Cons:

- Lack of documentation/tutorials for users

ERP Experience

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: We have successfully implemented Tryton in fields ranging from food and restaurant to Insurance Brokerage, and we have verified its versatility and performance, but most importantly, the satisfaction of our customers.

Pros:

This software is very powerful, it is not a simple ERP, but also a framwork where we can develop almost any kind of solution. Its modularity, once understood, allows us to extend the functionality of the system in a clear and easy manner. The quality and reliability of the software is very important to us, and Tryton provides a variety of testing tools to ensure this. Its licensing, not only of Tryton but also of the PostgreSQL database, allows the freedom we all expect from an ERP, and assures us that there will not be a Vendor lock-in in the future. The introduction of the SAO web client has projected Tryton towards a first class product, making it more attractive for users. Finallly, its community is formed by an extusiastic group of people always willing to help

Cons:

The documentation (users, administrators and developers), could be better, and although their website has been updated and improved, it is still a little confusing to follow up on system improvements and functionalities.

At the beginning was hard to understand how the software works and documentation is not good for beginners. But when you get more in touch everything gets clear and fine.

We customise the solution for our customers but also use it internally as timetracker and accounting

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: The software is designed by using a simple design which allows us to customise and adapt to all our customer needs no mather how complex they are. It provides a very complete base of functionality that fills the needs of most of the companies. The access management allows to define a set of roles to restrict the access to some functionalities for specific users.

Pros:

The user interface it's intuitive and all the software follows the same design which makes it very easy to use once you know the basic usage.

Cons:

The user documentation is very short and sometimes hard to understand due to the lack of examples. To compensate it there is a support forum which you can use to ask your questions.

Tryton offers very complete control over our business management

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: With tryton you have much less inconvenience organizing customers than with many other similar tools. We recommend it mainly for its extensive range of templates at the time of marketing campaigns, and for its ease to manage inventories.

Pros:

Tryton has a very easy to use client list management function thanks to its CRM integration, with which we can review the information of our interactions with them without taking so long. The best thing is that it is integrated into hosting services.

Cons:

There are times when tryton has performance problems, especially when handling roadmaps, or when working with orders. In addition, it does not work with databases in spreadsheets to mobilize contact information. It does not have an asset manager at the enterprise level.
