Gibbon is a multiuser point of sale (POS) front end or a cash register to be integrated in an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) or integrated with components for inventory, accounting and billing. Gibbon is made for retail- businesses and can be combined with an Internet store.

Gibbon is developed with systems like phpShop,Interchange, Linux Kontor, SQL-ledger and Gnu Enterprise in mind and intends to be a front end for one or a combination of these systems. The ambition is to take advantage of already made investments in existing well known systems and add a simple and flexible POS-function.Keep it simple stupid.
