Maestro^TM is The ERP for Engineers^TM, an open-source web-based ERP system that provides Transparency with Trust^TM to design, manufacturing and support teams.

Maesto is in active development and is likely not suitable for production use as-is.

Maestro manages information related to projects, parts, stock, issues and people. Drawing inspiration from Parts&Vendors^TM, Maestro includes enterprise features, single-entry accounting, and true multi-user operation.

Maestro includes a complete data set for the fictional Swift Construction Company (SCC), including projects, parts, stock (unserialized, serialized and lot controlled), issues and users. A demo is hosted on dalescott.net.

Maestro is developed as an open source project and uses the permissive business-friendly BSD 2-Clause License for maximum flexibility of use to the Maestro community. The goal of the Maestro project is to provide a superior integrated business management solution to small-to-medium enterprises (SME) for managing parts, projects, material, issues and people.

Refer to the following documents:
