Here what we often do is to use the standard client for most of the
tasks (usually those done on the desktop) and we write small tailored
web application using flask-tryton [1].
Also the standard client has a plugin system that you can use to
integrate specialized widgets.
For the calendar, you can use the caldav modules.

Great to hear, it's a solid platform for business applications

Tryton has a pretty good and growing set of modules for common ERP functions, but its potential is greater if you think if it as a "business application framework". If you are willing to do some module development you can do most anything and achieve seamless integration with the standard modules.

The standard stock modules are fine for this; all that is missing is the interface. The simplest is to use a web page front end with flask-tryton or with nereid for more complex web apps. A simple one page web interface with flask would be fine.

See above. A signature could be captured and saved as a bitmap attachment to a shipment record for example but there are other digital signing mechanisms too. Not sure of the requirements here.
> Visualisation of data on a map
This would be the most work, but PostgreSQL does GIS well and there are APIs to hook into google maps and open street maps. Not sure what native client or SAO have to offer off the shelf though

Tryton has calendar and DAV so this should be doable
> Statistics dashboards/excel exports
Tryton is pretty capable here. It would use ODS not XSLS. But excel can use open document format files. The native and SAO clients have some dashboard-like capability but look at the flask-tryton or nereid options for more flexibility

I would say tryton would provide much more because it handles all the business logic too. Plus you don't need to develop a full front end. You would have more success with using SAO for 80% and smaller scope web apps for the 20% that can't be done by the standard front end.
