Sales Type - A New Twist on Commissions

Posted Fri, 05/17/2013 - 14:21 by bcwilson

As developers of business software, it is a core practice for us to "eat our own dogfood," which means using xTuple ERP software to run our own business. Usually we do a very good job of this, but sometimes we hit a roadblock. Ever since the Enhanced Commissions package came out, over a year ago, we have been dying to use it to manage our own sales commissions, but it was missing a key feature for us. Until recently, our own commission software did not have a way to assign different commission percentages based on the lead source. It was a gap we were highly motivated to fill. Read more »

The Virginia Beach Tough Mudder has a venue (and a new date!)

The Virginia Beach Tough Mudder has a venue (and a new date!)

As we previously posted, xTuple has formed a team to participate in the world-famous Tough Mudder obstacle race to benefit the Wounded Warrior Foundation. The Virginia Beach Tough Mudder now also has an official location: Berkeley Plantation (the site of America's first Thanksgiving) and a new set of dates: June 8th & 9th (we have another week to train!).

The details of the course itself will be a mystery until a couple weeks before the event, but here is a sample of the what the Virginia Beach course might look like at this site: http://toughmudder.com/virginia-beach-2013-sample-course-map.

Also, we now have an official Virginia Beach Tough Mudder promotional video!

If you are interested in joining xTuple's Tough Mudder team, the xTuple X-Men, please use Read more »

Kickstarting missing feature development for xTuple PostBooks

Posted Fri, 03/15/2013 - 10:32 by ned

I have a good friend who was a producer of the cult TV show "Veronica Mars" from 2004-2007.  Recently, the creative team behind that show made Internet history in an interesting way - they partnered with the website Kickstarter, a resource for crowdsourced fund-raising, to raise millions of dollars to underwrite production of a "Veronica Mars" feature film.  As of this writing, over 50,000 fans have pledged anywhere from $10 to $10,000 or more.  Pretty cool.

It got me thinking about how we might do something similar in our xTuple community, and perhaps address some of the most-requested "missing features" in xTuple.   Read more »

State of the City Kudos for xTuple from Norfolk's Mayor

Posted Sun, 02/10/2013 - 18:46 by MissySchmidt

Norfolk, VA, Mayor Fraim's State of the City address 2013xTuple enjoyed a shout-out by Norfolk, Virginia, Mayor Paul Fraim at the Annual State of the City address on Friday, February 8, 2013. The specific excerpt of the mayor's speech follows and can be viewed in the video below (at 26-28 minutes):

"One area with potential to help reposition the city’s economy is technology. With our location midway between the Washington metro area and the Research Triangle, with Norfolk State University’s RISE Center and Old Dominion University’s Innovation Research Park and Modeling and Simulation Center, along with the medical school’s expanded research facilities, our improved transportation system, a dynamic and diverse downtown and a solid core of high tech businesses to build on, all the right assets are in place."

"Anchored by Dominion Enterprise’s headquarters, the Granby Street corridor has become a magnet for technology companies like xTuple – an open source software company used by businesses worldwide."

Hungry for xTuple

Posted Fri, 02/08/2013 - 14:16 by bcwilson

Cedarlane BurritoIn the food industry, not just any ERP software will do.

The regulatory and operational needs of food manufacturers and distributors mean that only a sophisticated, flexible, cost-effective ERP application such as xTuple can provide a viable solution.

We'd like to highlight the features that make xTuple a "natural" fit for food and describe our plans to serve this marketplace even better in 2013 and beyond.
