By combining a number of open source tools and connect them with Apache OFBiz, a platform was created to handle all operations in a software development company. GrowERP is an open source OFBiz component only showing a limited functionality of OFBiz using the standard database to be able to upgrade to the full system anytime without data conversion. Currently most open source companies are small and Apache OFBiz is just too big for them. This combined with an open source OFBiz Scrum component, Jenkins, Git/Gerrit you have the complete platform for organizing a vendor branch of the product you represent, a staging environment updated daily and a fully automated production deployment. Methodologies supported are Scrum/Kanban with time registration and accounting with automated invoicing including full ledger capability.
