You've caught on exactly on one of my desires for this project. If you need parts A, B, C and D, then it should matter where you get each of them, they should just all work together. If you're savvy enough to run you're own back-office, I want you to be able to. If not, I want your neighbor to be the person who is running it for you.

As I said in some of my other replies, I want to engender a market of choice. Right now, you can plunk hugeo cash down on an SAP system, you can go with some fly-by-night local operation that has written their own software, or you can go with Square who are just as monolithic as SAP but prettier and cheaper.

Long term, I have my eyes on SAP and other ERP snake-oil salesmen, too. Really, how many different ways can you present basic inventory management and analysis? It's a centuries old problem and it's not rocket science. Companies like SAP and Oracle annoy the shit out of me, too.
