Our Specialty: Integrated Business Systems
Whether you run a restaurant, a clothes store or other professional or retail service, it’s easy to wind up with dozens of applications that you wish could work together but don’t. ParIT worker co-op can design, implement and support an integrated business database with an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution.
Enterprise Resource Planning systems centralize the management of nearly all your business functions, including accounting, human resource management, sales, inventory management, ordering, customer relationship management and more.
Not only does a unified system make things simpler, by integrating these jobs, a ParIT ERP system will make your information accessible, freeing you to do all kinds of things. Imagine:
- generating reports which aggregate all your information from multiple business centers, system-wide.
- configuring automatic actions like emailing your sales team when a client requests a meeting.
- generating a new order when inventory drops below a certain level.
- pulling information from one or more business centers to pop into spreadsheets or other documents.
To get from your current system to a full ERP system, we will work with you through the whole process.

Why Open Source?
If you buy it, we believe you should own it. That means you should be able to modify it, twist it and shape it to your every whim at any time. It should work for you, not the other way around. Sure, you may not customize it yourself, but you shouldn’t be held back from hiring someone to make your system do exactly what you want it to.
By building your system using Open Source software, we can customize it to fit your needs perfectly and design it to grow with you without locking you in. Your system will be completely portable, ensuring that no matter how your business grows and how your needs evolve, you’ll be able to dig in and make changes.
In working with you, we’ll regularly use the following products (and several more):
Our end to end business database solution can be complemented with a number of our other products and services. We also offer these as stand alone solutions:
Software Cash Register
Is it time to replace that clunky old cash register with a computer program? We’ve got one that is just as simple to operate—and way easier for updating your pricing. You’ll love it.
Networking
The internet is more than just global pipes to carry web videos of kittens and endless spam. From telephone calls that connect to the plain old phone system, to remote access technology that lets us work on computers remotely—something that has saved us hundreds of hours of travel over the years—ParIT embraces the power of the internet to carry any kind of communication.
Are you ready to move on from an ad-hoc network of two or three computers, to something a little more substantial? Is your current network crowded, unreliable, slow, or often disconnected? Then it’s time to build it right. We’re well-versed with wired and wireless standards for local networks. “Local” networking can done on the scale of an entire building.
Financial Accounting
If you run a retail business, you’ll love our custom, end of day cash out interfaces. Built with Bo-Keep, an open-source solution for which we are the lead developers, your day-end staff can simply type in what they would have written on the closing sheet—and then it goes straight to the books in an accountant friendly, double entry format. You can skip the intermediate book keeping and focus on your business.
It even integrates with GnuCash, an enterprise-level accounting program. We’re experts in GnuCash, so when you’re ready to move on from your spreadsheets to a real accounting program, we’ll be here to help you out.
File Server
Keeping files from multiple computers in one place makes for convenient backups and sharing.
Our entry level file server doesn’t need a room, a rack, or even the footprint of a personal computer tower and monitor. You can hold it in your hands without breaking a sweat.
And our option for secure, remote, private web access can give you that crucial access you need, even when you’re “out of office.”
