This is where the real need is. Someway to integrate the backend
bookkeeping, POS and web sales. SQL-Ledger is a solid base for the
bookkeeping. It's POS is needs work and the code to integrate it with
Interchange is horribly outdated. 

Most SMB's seem to just want "something that works reliably and can be
added to later without duplicating all the prior work".

CRM and ERP smell more like dotcom buzzwords. If one is truly interested
in seeing what this all looks like glued together, go look at compiere.
