Apache OFBiz is an open-source ERP system written in Java and built on a suite of enterprise applications that integrate and automate many of an enterprise's business processes. It supports business cases for CRM (Customer Relationship Management), E-Business / E-Commerce, SCM (Supply Chain Management), and MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning).
