OpenERP News: Map View of Data by Camptocamp

GENEVA, April 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- <<MAPS ARE COOL>>, said Luc Maurer, Camptocamp's founder and director, when presenting the integration of maps in OpenERP.

As Confucius once said: <<A picture is worth a thousand words>>. This is exactly what Camptocamp achieved by adding the geographical dimension as a new analytical tool within an ERP.

Camptocamp's Business Solutions and Geospatial Solutions teams have merged their long-term technical competencies and experiences to create a unique and exclusive geolocation component for OpenERP. These developments allow, among other things, to display customers within a precise location, to analyze sales figures for a selected country, to visualize different logistic flows, and to provide maps for any other data available in OpenERP.

Users can place simple marks, graphs, and colors per geographical area, as well as calculate distances and surfaces. This map view opens unlimited Geo-BI (Geographic Business Intelligence) possibilities to companies using OpenERP.

Camptocamp pledges that this is only the beginning. By adding this new dimension to the core of OpenERP, the user will carry out effortless following business applications:

- Geographical queries and filters (ex: list of the last sales made within 10km of point of sales);

- Geo-marketing (ex: customer areas analysis, direct marketing);

- Logistics optimization (ex: stock location);

- Improvement of distribution flows (ex: find shorter way to deliver customers);

- Fleet management (vehicles, boats, etc..);

- Dashboards;

- Crises management.

As of today, no other ERP provides this functionality as an integrated view solution. With this breakthrough, Camptocamp demonstrates the benefits of Open Source communitarian development.
