We are Locomotive and we're working on an open-source API-first ERP system, which will work really well with Retool.
In a nutshell, we will provide straightforward API endpoints covering a few typical activities (CRM, inventory, invoices, expenses etc.), which can be used as Retool resources. Using those, you can build a tailored ERP using the Retool app builder.
We have a demo up, which covers inventory management here.
ey! that looks awesome, may you more info? regards inventory, really looking forward for this. Will have inventory like stock transfer from warehouse A to B, warehouse management, purchase orders?
Hey @pmsteil!
The linked demo is done using an open source project called InvenTree. It worked for demo purposes, but we are not going forward with that codebase.
At the moment we're working on our own codebase, using Node, Nest.js, Postgres and Apollo. We'll provide a GraphQL API. For deployment we'll provide a Docker container.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Your approach to providing clear API endpoints for CRM, inventory, invoices, and expenses is spot on. I took a look at your inventory management demo—it's impressive how intuitive it is to use.
I've found that tools like Inventory profitability analysis https://acupower.co.uk/products/abc-xyz-analysis-tool-in-acumatica-erp can really streamline operations and boost efficiency. It's crucial for any business to stay organized, and your solution seems like a great fit for those looking to customize their ERP setup with Retool.
