I have explored and implemented erp using ofbiz.
Would like to switch to moqui for next project but I am unable find proper documentation.
Also I am not aware if moqui has a point of sale and web pos. Also e-commerce shows few products and cart, so do i need to develop further or i am missing something?
I have already referred links on moqui.org.
I would really appreciate if someone would poin out right direction with proper links.
As of now there is no POS application based in the Moqui Ecosystem of open source projects, and to my knowledge there is not one in general based on Moqui Framework.
More generally the business level projects/components in the Moqui Ecosystem are more ERP oriented than ecommerce oriented, though PopCommerce has some ecommerce functionality and in the next release it will have much more (there is a lot of new ecommerce and retail/wholesale ERP functionality already in the source repository). There is also a component available for migrating data from OFBiz to the Mantle UDM data model which might be helpful (see https://github.com/jonesde/OFBizToMantle).

My organization is looking to install MuleSoft to support data and process integration. We have 5 ERP's and need to consolidate data quickly for analysis and process improvements. Looking for references or issues you have experience with MuleSoft.
While seeking extra details from this curious person, I have got an interesting research paper putting up light on Enterprise Integration Architecture while leveraging the tools of Middleware like Oracle SOA Fusion Middleware and MuleSoft ESB specifically. There are many other tools that are fairly doing well in the market and yes are available as open source and at fairly high price in terms of yearly licencing cost. Coming back to main point. You get what you ask for!
First, Kindly go through the relevant MuleSoft Documentation to get started. Perform few POC's and observe how user friendly the tool is ! The tool is not too generic to quote and unquote standard inherent issue. It's the developer's ability which makes the tool to be used efficiently.
When you talk about Middleware Integration Services, you should have a background story of all the tools which falls under such category. Have you explored the other options ! such as spring boot micro services, dell boomi, web methods before.
I've started at an organisation that is moving towards Sitecore CMS and Microsoft CRM for various reasons. They have an extremely old "shop" website which they are looking at replacing this with a COTS product.
Does anyone have experience with an e-commence product which works well with either SiteCore or CRM. (I don't have a lot of experience on the e-commence side, so I don't know who the big players in the industry are...)
Sorry if this is off-topic, I did check that http://webapps.stackexchange.com and http://programmers.stackexchange.com and this seemed like the most logical place this question.
Active Commerce has also been developing an OOTB eCommerce solution based on the Sitecore eCommerce module: http://www.activecommerce.com/
It has some pretty slick out of the box product catalog stuff when I was shown their demo, and the UI customization is easy to do.
Sitecore has an E-commerce module. I recommend you start there. http://sdn.sitecore.net/Products/SEFE.aspx
We used Insite Commerce for one of client's eCommerce Project. Found it pretty seamless*. Insite also has tight integration with Microsoft Dynamics GP. Insite for Sitecore module comes for free with Sitecore but I must mention that there is absolutely no support available from Insite unless you pay them.
*If you plan to go this route, I'd recommend taking Insite training to better understand their commerce engine.
I am exploring WCSF and wondering how is the data access layer created? Some of the articles I have found are two years old and talk about using Web Service Factory. I am using VS 2010 and .Net 4.0. I am looking for some sample and tutorials with real world examples.
The Web Client Software Factory doesn't provide automated guidance for creating the data access layer. It's focus is primarily on providing guidance to facilitate composite Web application development (i.e. Web applications which are comprised of individual modules, often developed by different development teams).
There are several approaches for accomplishing data access, but a few resources you might want to check out are the ASP.Net MVC Nerd Dinner tutorial, the S#arp Architecture project, the Code Camp Server source, and the Microsoft Pattern & Practices Data Access Guidance. All of these use variations of the Repository pattern which is the predominate approach among teams following Domain-Driven Design.
There is a good reference implementation hidden in the WCSF2010 Source file, and a few other examples. On http://webclientguidance.codeplex.com, click Web Client Software Factory 2010 Source and then download WCSF2010Source.zip. Inside you'll find Trunk\Source\GlobalBankRI\GlobalBank.Commercial.EBanking (VSTS Tests).sln, which is a pretty good example of many aspects of WCSF, including data access through a WCF service. There are some other simpler examples in the Trunk\Source folder.
Only the ETF module is fully built out. Each view presenter uses an ETFController to manage data common to all presenters. The ETFController uses an instance of IAccountServiceAgent, realized by AccountServiceAgent (for non-unit testing), which is registered as a module. AccountServiceAgent uses a class that acts as a proxy for the WCF reference. The proxy instance to use, AccountServiceProxy, is hardcoded.
The actual source code for WCSF is in BlocksTrunk\Source.
Yeah, not at all easy to find. I don't remember what made me download this and look inside for such examples. Certainly not anything I read on the website.
I've used this example to build a web app that access SQL data and scrapes a website, if you'd like to take a look. It's still under development, but the data access bits are pretty firm: http://lcbodrinkfinder.codeplex.com/
Is there anyone out there that used these two technologies and could give me some comparison in the form of advantages and disadvantages of both? I'm currently working with BO and I have heard that open source Pentaho does pretty good job as well.
Thanks in advance!
Pentaho is a full-fledged BI suite, meaning it can handle everything from reports, OLAP, dashboards, etc.
I've only briefly dealt with the reporting side of BO, but I haven't looked to any other systems since starting to work with Pentaho three years ago. It's a very powerful system (and FOSS). There's also a very vibrant and active community. Being FOSS, Pentaho also encourages the community to contribute back. Some recent examples of this are Saiku (previously called Pentaho Analysis Tool; 1.0 is around the corner, already usable as a plugin into the BI server) and the Community Dashboard Framework (which is now a core component of the suite).
The best suggestion I can make is to download the test server from Sourceforge and start playing with the toolset. It's free, so there's no trial expiration to worry about.
Pentaho also provides support packages for both individual components and the full suite. The last time I checked the prices, it was like $2.5k for a component and $10k for up to 10 developers on a single server.
With Business objects you created Universes which are a subject oriented semantic layer on a data base. You do that with BO Designer. These universes are then used with the reporting tool by just grabbing the objects in the semantic layer. The thing is that as the Universe contents a subject oriented semantic, any user knowing the subject can easily create a report by dragging and dropping the elements of the Universe within the report. No need to know sql. Users, reports and Universes are then managed in a repository where you can defined endless combinations of security between all of it. The reporting and the security management can be done via a web app.
Additionally, you have BODS which is the ETL tool that enables the creation and feeding of the reporting databases/data warehouses/data marts/EIS/ODS/.......
There are other tools which a didn't use. I've just used BODS (ETL), BO DESIGNER (Universes), DESKTOP INTELLIGENCE (reports) and the Central Management Console (CMC) for security.

I need to build an internal order entry and tracking system for a grocery store which requires many of the features of existing e-commerce systems, such as product catalog, customer_to_order relations/views, movement reporting, order statuses, etc. However, the first phase of the product is purely internal, so I don't need any online e-commerce features such as shipping addresses, postal rates or a payment gateway. I've also got a bunch of business specific stuff that may not apply to a lot of on-line stores: complex product/customer discount system, lots of attributes for the products, a producer order-tracking flow (customer has an order with us and we have an order with the producer), and so on.
So I'm stuck wondering if I would be better off customizing an existing product, or rolling my own with a good web framework (such as Python/web2py)? If it was a cut-and-dry online store, then the decision would be clear - but it's not. So I'm trying to find the most extensible/flexible FOSS e-commerce software for prototyping.
The main contenders I've been considering so far are: Drupal/Ubercart, Django/Satchmo and RoR/Spree. Ubercart is undergoing a complete re-write as Drupal Commerce, so that puts me off. The Spree project looks clean and I like the ideas - but I'm already writing a product/customer ETL in Jython and don't want to balance the two languages - both Python and Ruby are new to me.
I don't like Magento's enterprise/community edition model. And I've heard lots of complaints about osCommerce and it's variants.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
By the way, I think the gap between the feature-set I need and what I could get out-of-the-box from an existing e-commerce product is on the order of 30%.
if you need that much extra functionality I reckon roll your own so you aren't constrained later.
Or better yet fork the current very basic (and easy to understand) web2py estore:
