Sumer is an important advance in business software


Given that management knowledge and existing spreadsheets already contain all the information necessary to describe most business operations, why has no one before Sumer delivered software to build managment systems using that information?

In short: marketing. Sales of business software world-wide is worth US $ 700 billion per year.

Yet many SMEOs find that relying on software vendors with their limitless range of modules is just chasing rainbows.

Sumer has a much easier solution. Managers can easily build their own applications given the right tools.

Sumer is designed to be...

  • free of jargon,
  • free to download,
  • free to add users,
  • simple to use,
  • offering open-source templates without add-on modules,
  • requiring no knowledge of IT,
  • with data in the cloud based only on data storage fees,
  • and with a platform encouraging peer-to-peer sharing in the medium and small enterprise and organization communities.



Sumer has extensive capabilities

Sumer can handle most key small and medium business management tasks...

  • Purchase Order control,
  • Receiving and sequence coding of raw materials,
  • Inventory tracking and control including direct and flush-back materials tracking,
  • Purchase, Inventory, Production, and Sales tracking by serial number, ID code, or batch code,
  • Customer Orders,
  • Tracking, completion, and cancellation of back orders,
  • Production control,
  • Scheduling for shifts, meetings, production runs, projects, Gantt charts,
  • Employee time cards and payroll,
  • Wholesales and invoices,
  • Docket scheduling and control,
  • Retail cashiering and point-of-sale,
  • Bookkeeping and accounting,
  • Full user log and audit trail,
  • Instant End-Of-Period inventory posting to accounting,
  • Graphic reporting,
  • Intra-company communications,
  • Cash flow analysis and control,
  • Bill of Materials and Process costing and routing,
  • and more.

That is only the start . . .  because anyone can customize, upgrade, and extend templates with an option to make the new templates available to other users.

Open-sourcing means Sumer never needs to stop growing.
