Hello all,

I manage a small not-for-profit production company, and at the moment we are relying on g-mail and google calendar to make and update bookings.  It all works ok, but it is time consuming and a bit messy, and if at all possible we would like to use some kind of CRM instead.

Would Tryton be able to:
Send and receive e-mails.
Record and retrieve some kind of client history (rather than us having to trawl through e-mails).
Automatically generate calendar entries.
Generate invoices.
Act as a store for documents which can then be attached to e-mails.
Manage our accounts.

Additionally, I have no experience of Python or Tryton, so after it has been set up would it be user friendly enough for someone like me to use?

Thanking you in advance for any advice you can give me.

Some of this requirements may require you to install third party
modules, for example receiving the emails on the application.

But some of them (invoicing and accounting) can be done with the
official tryton modules. You can give a try on the demo server:

You will have to learn at least how to install packages and how to
manage your databases, but this is what the same for every free software
that you can found.

Or found somebody that host the application for you.
