BlossomERP runs your whole business in one place: selling, buying, stock, money, people, and — depending on the kind of business you are — making things, farming fish, receiving donations, or running a marketplace. Everything writes to the same books, so the invoice your sales team raises, the goods your store receives, and the balance your accountant reports are three views of one truth, not three systems to reconcile.
Two design promises shape everything in this chapter.
First, you do not have to decide everything today. BlossomERP is built to start small. A company can begin with the basics — customers, products, invoices, payments — with nearly every optional feature switched off, and turn capabilities on one at a time as the business grows and the team understands more. Nothing about starting small locks you in: the switches in this chapter can be changed later, and your history comes with you.
Second, the application adapts to the kind of business you are. A trading company, a manufacturer, a services firm, a charity, an online seller, and a marketplace operator do not need the same screens. Your setup begins from a business profile that fits your kind of business, and the menu you see contains only what your company has switched on.
