This sounds like ERP.

Pretty much *all* of the open source ERP systems ship with PostgreSQL by
default, and some use only PostgreSQL.  Among these are:

* xTuple
* LedgerSMB
* OpenBravo
* Apache OfBiz
* Adempiere (Compiere fork)

I'd suggest combining one of the above with Radix or Access for ad-hoc
querying/reports.  Or just BIRT for reports.

Unfortunately, due to not being very organized about case
studies/references, I don't have anything offhand from the multiple
charities which use PG.
