An outstanding feature of the gFM-Business ERP software is its open license. It comes with full rights, which means that companies can customize and extend the software as they wish. By using FileMaker Pro, a well-known and widely used development tool, customizations can be made easily and efficiently. This openness encourages innovation and allows companies to tailor the software to their specific needs.

The entire navigation and the main menu of the gFM-Business ERP software are database-driven. This structure makes it easy to expand and adapt the navigation elements without the need for in-depth programming knowledge. Companies can therefore adapt the user interface to their individual requirements and increase user-friendliness.

For developers, gFM-Business offers a special developer module that contains internal documentation of all tables, fields and scripts. This module serves as a comprehensive reference work and makes the work of developers considerably easier.
