What's the best order management module for SugarCRM Community edition

[cwoodward]

I have been a Sugar user for about a year. We have used 4.5 and 5.0 with great success. The only shortcoming of this system is the lack of a order tracking module in the Community edition. We have been through SugarForge and have tested all of the listed modules. OpenSales appears to be the best but it's unclear when it will be released in production. The developer has done a great job and I hope he continues with the work. In a nutshell, I need to be able to add products, create quotes/orders and email or PDF them - that's it.

My question: Is OpenSales the only worthy option for order management in SugarCRM Community Edition? Are there other vendors out there with commercial products that could help us?

Thanks in advance!

Have you looked at info@hand? Catalog with Products as well as assemblies/kits. Quotes, Sales Orders, Invoices, Received Payment Allocation, Statements, Account Balances, Purchase Orders, Shipping, Receiving, Bills, Packing Slips, etc... Generates PDFs that are UTF-8 compliant, so it works in any language. Supports multiple warehouses for inventory. Supports multiple office addresses for the address block on your PDFs, Quotes can be set to require approval if the amount is larger than a threshold, or the margin % is lower than a threshold. Links to eStore within the Customer Portal so that selected products are also offered in your online store. Can process credit card payments within the CRM, or PayPal, CC, etc within the eStore.

We have also developed an open source quotes/orders plus product catalog module. We typically customize this as part of the install for each customer and provide ongoing support. Please contact us directly if you are interested in more details.
