This release brings together a unique platform that features a complete ERP and CRM system, business intelligence, and mobility integration for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and e-tailers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Opentaps promises to bring together all operations of an organization on a common platform.  As a result, sales force, plan and warehouse management, and finance and accounting staff would be able to share data and automate key processes seamlessly.  Popular open-source reporting tools bundle with opentaps then allow reports and dashboards to be built for decision-makers to gain greater visibility into operations and improve bottom-line results.  Finally, a built-in online store, with support for Amazon, eBay, PayPal, and Google integration could connect any business with customers worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because it is an open source product, opentaps can be freely downloaded, modified, and used without upfront licensing costs.  This makes it not only a lower cost alternative to commercial ERP and CRM systems but also offers users greater flexibility in customizing it to meet their specific requirements.  Finally, by giving users full access to the source code, opentaps frees its users from the risk of vendor lock-in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Key features of opentaps 1.0.0 include:&lt;br /&gt;
* Customer relationship management&lt;br /&gt;
* Warehouse and inventory management&lt;br /&gt;
* Manufacturing support, including bill of material, shop floor management, and material resources planning (MRP)&lt;br /&gt;
* Accounting and financial management, including AR/AP, financial statements and reports, and purchasing&lt;br /&gt;
* Support for unlimited online stores with upsells, cross sells, special pricing, and promotions&lt;br /&gt;
* Integration with eBay, Google, Amazon, PayPal for e-commerce and DHL, FedEx, UPS for shipping&lt;br /&gt;
* Ability to synchronize address books and calendars with Microsoft Outlook, mobile phones, and Google apps&lt;br /&gt;
* Reporting and dashboard with popular open source tools such as JasperReports and Pentaho&lt;br /&gt;
* Translations into multiple languages&lt;/p&gt;
