Welcome!

Trade Control is a unique business system, re-writing the book on how ERP applications are designed and implemented.

Traditional architectures have evolved from paper-based operations and the demands of capital to serve business owners, whether private or public. By jettisoning this mind-set, the design offers innovative opportunities to break out of these entrenched systems.

Offered to the community as free software, you can explore how the core algorithms of capitalism can be calculated more efficiently, or how businesses can be connected and scheduled by seamless supply-chains or trade easily in crypto currencies as their Unit of Account.

The app is accompanied by a free book which explains the workings of the commercial world, the re-modelling of its processes and structure by the app’s schema design, and why doing so is such a good idea.

Project Goals

Trade Control is a global trading platform published under an Open Source licence. The app’s functionality and architecture are derived from Manufacturing Systems Engineering. Materialised and tested in live environments, the project goals are as follows:

• Replace the traditional ERP architecture of purchasing->production->sales with a node based schema design where inputs match outputs.
• Replace the asset-based recording surface of financial accounting (Double-Entry Book-keeping) with the transaction-based recording surface of production (Supply and Demand).
• Implement a project management system inside the business-level node where task-level nodes can be freely connected to form workflows.
• Replace asset-based accounting methods by algorithmically deriving capital and profit from the transaction-based recording surface.
• Eliminate the need for G/L postings and trial balances so account statement validitity can be checked by anyone.
• Algorithmically generate VAT, Corporation Tax, Company Accounts, Debtors and Creditors from the genesis transaction in real time for fraud resistance.
• Provide the algorithms for instantaneous Gestalt Costing, replacing Job Costing with an evaluation model rooted in all future business commitments.
• Integrate business nodes using the blockchain Ethereum to implement supply-chain scheduling and contract-level integration.
• Finance supply-chains using the crypto-currency Bitcoin by attaching a commercial wallet to the transaction-based recording surface.

To verify that the goals have been achieved, please follow the instructions in the tutorials. Because the app is Open Source you also have access to every algorithm. To understand the benefits obtained from attaining these goals, you will need to read the articles.
