Here is what I need.
A program that can keep track of large amount of different types of products.

So products come in. They are entered into program.
Then when they are given to sales people to sell, it will lower the amount of product and keep track of how much each sales person is selling so we can compute thier commision.
The programs I have seen are either too complex or too simple.

Also program has to be very simple to use.

What would u guys recomend ?

@Perks
Thanx
I am starting to think i will need to do the same thing.
The cost of the products is small. You can double your money when u resell.
But if u do not keep track of the products u will get burned.
Anyway i will see how buisness goes. If we growing i will make own.

I have a LOT of experience here ... I'm personally on my 4th iteration of my back office and inventory management system... it does some pretty amazing things now. Let me know if you'd like some ideas.

at the quick end, you could use something like a cart package, like magento for example, and use its inv control. Set it up as an internal shopping cart, with no payment checkout. Just a thought, i had to do something like that a few years ago for a client. The needed internal inv control, but it was manual when the pickers packed the orders which came in via a different channel. Worked pretty well.

I've rolled my own many times as well.  These days I'm always looking to see what cloud solutions might fit the bill - and save me a bundle.  Although I haven't tried this solution out myself, the customer reviews are pretty strong.  It's called Ascent and it's a Force.com AppExchange program available from Salesforce.com.  Here are the links:

AppExchange listing: http://sites.force.com/appexchange/apex/results?type=Apps&keywords=ascent

If nothing else you could get a free developer edition at Force.com (http://developer.force.com), and then install a trial version of Ascent (if they provide one).  Pricing is not disclosed but apparently they have a recession-buster deal...  

In any case, it might fit the bill for ya  Good luck nop.

there is a shopping cart for django called satchmo.
you could just use the admin interface without setting up a storefront or just yank the bits from it you need.
