NolaPro is a cloud / web-based ERP application running under a proprietary commercial license. It was first released in 2003 as a freeware accounting alternative to SAP ERP and QuickBooks because of its ability to scale in these markets.

NolaPro is categorized as a boutique software, which allows custom functionality changes upon request. It permits unrestricted integration with 3rd party applications and offers source code procurement for companies to develop their own ERP systems.

This application can be cloud-hosted by the author or installed locally on Microsoft Windows or Linux, accessed via common web browsers, and utilizes MySQL and PHP.

The software includes the following modules:

  • Accounts Payable
  • Accounts Receivable
  • Administrative Tools
  • Business-to-Business (B2B) Web Portal
  • Customer Database
  • General Ledger
  • Inventory Management
  • Order Tracking (Fulfillment & Service)
  • Payroll & Employee Timeclock
  • Point-of-Sale (PoS)
  • Shopping Cart (modified OSCommerce) for e-commerce transactions.
  • Vendor Database

Multi-currency is available for NolaPro, making it one of the few small applications which supports monetary exchange rates. It has been translated into 30+ languages via contributions from the NolaPro community. An API is also available for developers who wish to integrate NolaPro with their in-house or 3rd party applications. From 2013-16, NolaPro was featured on all Lenovo devices under the Windows 8 store platform.
