Maxma Case

The business case of the ERP5 sample company named Maxma, describes the business of this imaginary company. The sample data provides some precise information about Maxma's trade operations in 2010 so that one can understand the data stored in the ERP5 database representing Maxma's business. It also defines some key CRM activities of Maxma such as product promotion campaigns or sale oppportunities related to important prospects for that company.
The Maxma business case is an imaginary case but it is inspired from many experiences of Nexedi in ERP deployment and thus is very close to real cases you may know.
