Ned Lilly, CEO of xTuple recently blogged concerning xTuple’s open-source philosophy: “Our users – whether they’re community members using the totally free version, or commercial customers using (a paid license-version)- are in control of their own destinies. They don’t have to worry about picking up the Wall Street Journal one morning and seeing that their software partner has been gobbled up (by a conglomerate). They have the source code, no matter what – and they are members of a thriving global community of users that is bigger than any one company.”

The xTuple PostBooks® version(free download) is one of the most downloaded products on SourceForge. It includes extensive Accounting features plus Inventory, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Bill-of-Material, Workorder and also multi-bin capabilities, kitting, and an assemble-to-order configurator.
