ADempiere Implementation Examples

Ottawa Flight College/Ottawa Flying Club.

ADempiere replaced a collection of software used to manage the booking system, POS and accounting functions. These legacy systems did not talk to each other and required hand transcription from one to the other. Management information was dispersed across the systems and very difficult to access. ADempiere has fixed all of these issues. It has improved the efficiency of the organization substantially while also increasing the accuracy of management and performance related information. Manual process have been replaced with automation that improves speed and accuracy - allowing staff to focus on customers, not data entry. Complex business logic was implemented to provide reports for regulatory compliance and customer frustration was reduced by the provision of accurate tax forms. For example, through simple customizations it was possible to automate the generation of TL11B tax forms which follow very complex rules and interpretations. What used to take staff and customers days of work was replaced by a mouse click.
