What Is Ostendo?
Ostendo software is an operational business system designed to complement and extend an existing accounting package, effectively transforming the combined solution into a full Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The software focuses heavily on operational excellence in manufacturing, distribution, projects, and service management. It provides the front-end capabilities like complex inventory tracking, detailed job costing, and material requirements planning (MRP) that standard accounting software often lacks, while relying on the existing system for financial reporting and banking functions.

“Contains many useful features”
Pros
Installing it was pretty easy for me even without any background in purchasing or logistics. It includes really useful tools such as creating Purchase Orders, creating Sales Orders and checking availability and supply reports.
Cons
Something that gets frustrating is how inconsistent the feature are from tab to tab. For instance, when viewing a part you can't drag the bottom window upward but you can do that in a Purchase Order while assigning serial number allocations. Little inconsistencies like that feel strange and unnecessary. Overall the software comes across like an old Windows 98-era system and would really benefit from a modern refresh.
