hello guys, i need to have open source php script that can provide employees planning, for example, i want to add current employees power for each department this year and the work load, i also have the formula to determine the need of employees afterwards, then, i need this to provide the requires man power required for next year based on work load and resources given any idea how to start? which open source script will help best? thanks Mike
Should be fairly easy to code from scratch, depending on what your needs are? If you have a numbers-based workload and employee-amount, you could probably just input the values in a form, use the formula, and have it output to either a database (for fetching later/recalculating) and have them all output to a report. But I sense you probably have more needs than what you posted here?
no, i just thought there will be a lot of advanced ERP stuff can do this and more, so i can modify them to meet my requirements, if programmed from scratch then will take so long time while there could be an easy and ready high quality source code can do the same and more? what you think? i am expert in wordpress and its stuff, also excel can be used but i want something a web based and for each group/team/department alone so it could be more complicated than anticipated, and maybe those open source scripting stuff already solved such faced problems? just thinking... please advise further Mike
I highly doubt you'll find anything really good as free/open source. There are plenty of pay-as-you-use solutions, so, depending on needs and budget, I'd suggest you just pay for the privilige. But you can have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ERP_software_packages and see if you find anything useful.
alright, i disagree with in this dude, a lost of useful and very powerful solutions are found into open source concepts... lets just say i am trying my best to analyze all of them and if one or more does have the required functionality to start with, otherwise, i will go with excel itself however, if any other dude have an idea or information about open source can do this employees planning i would be thankful as well thanks in advanced guys Mike
My point is that most ERP solutions (those worth using, anyway) are made to make money - which they do, quite a lot of it, actually. Hence, those offerings you find free of charge are usually not worth using. But I would like to be proven wrong, so if anyone have a good suggestion for a system that does what's needed, and also is free of charge, I hope you'll post some links.
