insert, modify and delete records.
• Content management system for in house web page creation.
• Simple message system between users.
• Document management per form and record.
• Goggle maps integration showing customer/supplier addresses
and directions from either company premises or from mobile
position.
• Two different templates each having several colour variations.
Each user can set his own.
• Multilingual support, Greek and English translations provided
• Can be deployed with Apache, IIS, nginx, cherryPy to Linux or
Windows servers

Technologies used:
• Django/PostgreSQL for the backend
• jQuery, jQueryUI, jQuery Mobile for the front-end
• HTML5, CSS3, AJAX, Twitter Bootstrap

I am in charge for developing the Erp4All project, providing executables for Linux and Windows and deploying it to AWS EC2 servers with automated test and deploy processes.
